Simple. The data that needs to be accessed is too big for the bandwidth speed of the blu-ray drive. So installing the game on HDD makes up for this.

I've been thinking about this and I'm wondering whether some assets could be streamed directly from the disc whilst the majority of the game is installed. Much has been said about 'cloud' and how you can stream physics and AI but what about streaming that data directly from the disc? It's not actually doing anything once the game's installed, it's just verifying you own the game. If data can be streamed via the internet then it makes sense it could be simply streamed from the disc ... no?
