For me personally, probably Borderlands.

If the budget is the same, then why would it matter who is working on what? They still have X amount of money to spend on the entire game. If some of the resources go to multiplayer, then it's less that could have been put into single player.

I just don't like making silver members wait a week to get new demos. It has nothing to do with playing online so it shouldn't be part of a gold membership.

I just use my avatar since I'll probably get bored of a pic quickly and it would be a waste of money. I do have the Fallout 3 pics I got with leftover points on an alt tag though.

I wouldn't call it a classic but it can be a lot of fun. Once you get a feel for the game and know what items you need to carry around a lot of its frustrations can be avoided.

I'm excited for Borderlands, Dragon Age: Origins, and maybe Assassin's Creed 2. So still a couple months for me.

It's not going to be 7 discs people. Square will just compress it down to 3 or 4 max. As far as I remember there's never been a console game that's had more than 4 discs.
