Is there one that is made that cheap? Like is there an actual product like that?

Mad Catz makes one with Wii, PS2/3, and XB360 connectors. I've seen it at Game Crazy for sale for $10 as recent as earlier this week.

Having recently upgraded from universal component cables to Monster cables, I have to say that there is a decent difference. Not a retail price worthy difference, but it's certainly noticable. However, universal component cables are very cheap and still look a lot better than s-video and composite.

Is there one out there that can have 2 or 3 systems hooked up to it at once?

I was wondering that too, everytime I hook up two systems (ps3/x360) the color is black n white and the sound is reallly really faint. I hate having to unplug it every time from the back I wanna switch :(!

Allows to have them hooked up at once and has a switch to select which system. But usually its best to either have the system unplugged completely (no power) or the cable not plugged into system. Reason is so that there is no interference.
