Really? Is that an option somewhere? Have you seen anybody try it with an older TV, or heard about it?

: It's true that GUI elements are going to be blurred pretty horribly, though.
: Especially in some games, where "these new consoles support 1080p"
: seems to have been interpreted as "make text as small as possible
: while still technically being correctly resolved by the 1080p buffer".

Yeah I didn't mention it but that's the other thing I'm concerned about. I'm assuming since the MCC is old games that are legible now (although Halo 4 is pushing it), they should still be legible since they're just porting everything, and I trust Bungie not to make the text too small, and I think the console UI should be OK.
