May be a dumb question...

I know some of you out there went ahead and went with the Wii60 or the PSWii combo. Do you have both of them hooked up to the same TV? I am either going to buy a PS2 or an Xbox 360 to go along with my Wii but I need to hook them both up to the same TV. I was wondering if there is any way to do this, so I don't have to crawl back behind the TV and unplug one to plug the other one in.

I've never had 2 systems hooked up to one TV before and I didn't know if there was some sort of switch you can use.

I wish they would just include DVD playback for the Wii.

Hd tv or regular?

EDIT: Most newer tv's have a alot of hook ups in the back even SDTV's simply hook the wii to one and the xbox to another and cable/Sat. to a third. If not switches are available for older tv's with up to 4 hook ups.

Regular TV, not even LCD.

If you give us the TV model number (or even put the model number into Google yourself) you can easily find the type & amount of inputs your TV has on the back.

It only has one set. I was wondering if there was a switch or something I can buy.

Yes, there are switches that you can buy. Here is one on amazon that allows you to hook up to three devices -

You can look into a system selector.

One set of composite (Yellow-Red-White), I'll assume. Depending on the features you want, you can probably find a decent composite switch for $15 or less.

However, if you have the $$ to burn and want surround sound in the future, an A/V receiver is the way to go. Obviously, it'll cost more because of the greatly increased functionality you would get out of it.

That looks like a good option, or if you happen to have (or plan to get) a learning remote, one with an IR Receiver would be convenient. I'm aware that says it's a component video switcher, but you are able to put composite into 3 of the 5 jacks and use it as a composite switch.

Thanks these are exactly what I was looking for! Now I just need to come up with the money for the 2nd system
