Before you start, I have all 3 current gen consoles.. so yeah.. hush.

You obviously don't understand the difference between a DVDs structure, and Blu-rays. DVDs read data faster near the center of the disc and slower near the outside. Blu-ray reads constant across all of that. One of the things developers do to combat the slower-load time of the PS3 1x blu-ray drive have the same data multiple times on the disc. PS3 games in general tend to take up more space on the blu-ray than their 360 counterpart because of this. Also there's compression to consider. This is especially true for audio compression. 7.1 surround sound to be exact. Heavenly Sword also filled over 10GB in audio alone.

Shouldn't be saying that won't be used either. Kojima managed to almost fill an entire 50GB blu-ray with all the cut scenes and HD audio. Even more space would allow for multiple language options on the same disc, as well as extra content like making of, and bonus features to grant a greater draw to buy the game. So it's meaningless information for 360, but opens up more possiblities for PS3 developers.
