"Full rate H.264 (40Mbps) using less than half the computing power available. Aren't the Microsoft dev team saying the Xbox 360 is pushed to its limit for 30Mbps H.264?"

I haven't heard that. However, if it is true, they could run the H.264 stream through the GPU and have plenty of headroom.
twice the cores, twice the parallel power? i don't see how 2 streams is useful; plan to watch 2 movies on the same screen at once? it's one of those ps3 rumors you hear, like being able to launch nukes. lol.
I don't think anyone watching a movie actually cares what's going on inside the box...they only care about what's on their TV screen. So I'm not sure how your making a connection with technical specs and actual adoption of Blu-Ray???
I personaly would think it to be allot more impressive if there were 7 feisty midgets dancing around inside my TV set to get the movie to show...but at the end of the day it's still just a movie.
