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.
 
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.
 
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.

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

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.
