Actually, no. I've never tried it. The Wii I have can only go up to 480p if I use the component cable and the 360 my brother got me didn't have the component cables with it (however, it now uses the Wii U's HDMI cable, the Wii U uses the Wii's component cable, and the Wii gets the composite cables it came with), but I've never willingly played any HD games in 480p.
I'm curious to see what you've stumbled upon here and when I go back home after this overnighter at work, I'll be sure to try that and see...
I own a PS1, GBA, GBA SP, Wii (GCN), 360, 3DS, PC (Laptop), Wii U, and PS4.
I used to own a GBC, PS2, and DS Lite
I always play in 1080p unless I'm playing on a CRT TV (dat 0 latency doe)...in which case I'm forced to use 480i
But I would never play in 480p just for "fun"...lol. There really aren't many reasonable benefits to that (since it will not improve performance at all). The only one I can think of off the top of my head is to reduce file sizes for game capture devices.
Talking about blu-rays, I agree that digital shot films sometimes look faker, for example "Batman: The Dark Knight Rises", the IMAX parts (the parts that were filmed with digital cameras), look so fake to me, like the final battle for example. But other films, like Tron: Legacy look beautiful and amazing in HD. There's other shows like Game of Thrones who look incredible in HD (especially the blu-ray), and makes you feel like never going back to watch it on SD.
