Are these right? According to my PS3 info display when playing a BluRay disk 
(XMen-3, Mpeg-2 encoded I believe), the bandwidth is 20Mbps. That's playing 
at 1080i. Assuming 1080p needs twice the bandwidth, that makes around 40Mbps. 
Even for MPEG2. 

So your figures seem a little high... I'm not sure how accurate they are, but 
figures I've seen show DB tops out at 48Mbps, and HDDVD at 30Mbps... (HDDVD 
uses mpeg4, while BD is mpeg2 IIUC). [Someone correct me if I'm wrong here]/
