Imagine if all of your games, saves, etc. were all saved to the console. If a grizzly bear smashed your console, you'd be S.O.L.. Now, with discs, that same bear (or a panda bear, if you're in Japan) could destroy your console......but you'd still have the games!
*bears also screw with your account, so re-downloading is not an option. it's in the fine print whenever you update your PS3. You really should read it sometime.
