PS3 is different with a bluray drive the processors need to read part of the game from the HDD at the same time they're reading part from the disc. Otherwise the game would be a nightmare to play.

It's because most games are developed for the Xbox 360 (Windows platform) first and then ported to PS3; developers are just too lazy to spend enough time to make the game possible to play only using the disc. Look at the games like FF13, God of War, Infamous, Uncharted etc. These games have an install only around 20mb because they were developed for the PS3 from the very start.
