Don't top line blu-rays manage to store even more than 50GB? |
Yes they do. BR has the capability to store lot more than 50 GB. Triple layer discs (100 GB) and quadruple layers (128 GB) are widely available. Beyond this, they also have developed 200 GB Blu-Ray disks on one side, which has 6 layers at 33 GB's a piece. They are already past 10 layers. Square Enix has zero chance to run out of space for their video game from a single sided Blu-Ray disk. They'd like to think that they can, but they are a joke and like to hype their work quality. They can keep dreaming. I am not sure how high the developemental capacity is though right now for the highest storage BR disk. I believe a 500 GB BR disk exists, which was a Pioneer creation.

What you failed to note was that the PS3, at this point in time, cannot actually read anything more than dual-layer.

With firmware it can read more than 2 layers, however nothing right now actually uses these disks so it hasn't been done. Also there are Blu-Ray disks with a standard capacity of 33.4 GB's per layer, which the PS3 already can read due to firmware update. So the PS3 as it sits with the latest firmware supports a 66.8 GB Blu-Ray disk. Not enough for Square? Yea right. If Sony even gets a whiff that someone wants to release a 2 disk game, a new firmware update will come out to support more. Problem is with these disks to why they aren't used, they are EXPENSIVE and it's that simple.
