It says I am and it looks excellent so wtf.

Everyone should know that 360 hardware resolution is locked at 1280x720.

No it's not.

For the longest time I only used composite ports until I finally got a TV with HDMI ports. And even then, my 360 didn't always have HDMI so I still used the composite.

You mean component. Composite is RCA cables...

Bah, yeah, I always get the two confused.

Point still remains the same: people still use both (I used whichever one had the green and blue inputs for the longest time instead of HDMI).

Yes but surely all HD ones would have it?

Anyway no difference to picture quality by all accounts.

Name me a 360 game that is not 720p native and then upscaled to 1080p/i.

Luckily enough for me my tv has 4 or 5 hdmi inputs so thats what I use on everything.

All the new ones do but that still doesn't change the fact that TV's still exist that still don't have HDMI ports. Not everyone has a fancy flat screen.
