Of course I don't think it would be neccessary in the majority of cases to do 1:100 compression, but by all accounts both the PS3 and the Xbox 360 are VERY good at decompression.  They have to be.

I am sure they are good at it, but nothing is free. If getting from 50x to 100x cost 6% cpu, and you want to stream content in your game, you just lost 6% cpu power for the game.
