All of that to save paying 1 or 2 cents of the 7 cents per disk on 1st party games?

Remember they won't pay anything on 3rd party games as its the publishers responsibility.

I'd say your theory is nonsense.

The reason for full installs is because its better for the multitasking and instant on.

How M$ designs the machine to interact with the BR, is M$ responsability.

I understand the installation can enhance the experience in some ways, but why not require the disk afterwards?

A better question is why require it?

Look at this way, it's true multitasking.  Watching a blu ray movie and fancy going back to the game..? Easy, don't even need to put the disc back in. 

I think all this multitasking is more of a consequence rather than the cause.    I really dont think of anybody playing a movie, watch nfl, and play a game at the same time.   Skype and playing sure, it is kind of beneficial.      Also, if multitasking is so important, then why not copy the movie to the HDD too? It would make the experience smother.
