Well, I don't know because the TV says it's in 1080p Mode. Same as it's in 720p mode with those games that support it only.
I'll take a picture when I can find my camera

Says it's capable of 1080p but all blu-ray and 1080p capable games says needs HDMI for 1080p.
Oh the mind boggles

You need HDMI for Blu-Ray. It's a DRM issue. You can watch from your cable box if it supports 1080p (or even an upscaling DVD player), but Blu-Ray has an HDCP signal that only allows 1080p with legal blu-rays.
I don't know if the Xbox 360 has HDCP, but the PS3 does. It's simply a security measure. It keeps you from playing pirated material at 1080p.

360 has no HDCP. Also, the PS3 only has HDCP via HDMI so you can't steal the digital information. HDCP can't be used on analog connections, so playing Blu-Rays with component cables allows the movies to be copied through the analog hole, but there is quality loss.
Also, you can do 1080p on component, but it's only a limited number of TVs that can do it.

For games it makes no difference as consoles can hardly run anything at 1080p. They hardly run stuff at even 720p. You'll probably have better quality if you run at 720p and let the TV upscale instead of letting the game do cheap upscaling.
