Pelican system selector pro 29.99 at GS

[sparkoc]

I'm on this site all the time, and thought I was way overdue to contribute. Hope this wasn't posted before. T
his is the 8 component system selector with 3 ethernet and 3 optical connections that was going for $99 for the longest time. Also saw this at GC for 49.99. Yes, the selectors with remote are out now, but all game systems except 360 have to be turned on manually anyway.

Been waiting for this. Thanx. B&M? Link?

only one I found was the one with the remote for 99

This a good post, but good luck finding one . . . I guess they may be out there but they must be scarce at this point.

[spiderdog]

was the sticker on the box 29.99 or only when it rang up?

The PS2 has a remote with a power button. Microsoft dropped the ball with their remote. -_-

Besides, if you need eight componet inputs chances are that you have a nice DVD player and some sort of HD cable box. My video card does componet out too. It'd say the remote version are invaulable.

But $30 is a nice deal.

It was B&M at GS in Tustin, CA on Katella.

It was sticker priced at 29.99. There was only one left there.

Is it that much at EB Games also? I hope so, the Gamestops in my area don't have any

[CocheseUGA]

I think this is a holdover from awhile back. I remember seeing a thread when I searched back in November....the thread was from 2004.

[Santurio]

there was an old thread about this and almost nobody found any. Good luck if you can find one though. I found the pro selector w/ remote at Microcenter for $50 and I'm very happy.

I believe I remember that thread being with some of the Gamestops having it on clearance for 29.99.. has it dropped that much for all of GS now? Any more confirmations?

[addicted2games]

Of course my GS has been out of these for months. Damn it!

Last week I saw one, and I believe it had a sticker price of 99. Perhaps that is just them being too lazy to change it but I am pretty sure it was at that, or close to it. Certianly not 29.99.

[sabin23]

Sounds like a YMMV deal.

[dafunkk12]

I found one way back when, but the DM was there and said that just because it's discontinued in the computer doesn't mean it's clearanced. Boo-urns, that was like a 30 minute drive. Might see if it's still there, though, it'll be worth it.

I am currently using the mad catz hd system selector * http://www.madcatz.com/Default.asp?Page=76&CategoryImg=Universal_Cables * and after testing out call of duty 2 on my 360 in 1080I there is definetly signal loss in the graphic quality as compared to when I plugged it in directly into the tv. Can anyone confirm if the selector 2.0 can trasmit 1080i with no loss? Thanks

well, I've never seen a gamestop that was good on re-pricing its old stuff and accessories. so i'd say your changes are pretty good that it's dropped below 99 at least.

[UjnHunter]

YMMV, i just bought mine a couple weeks ago and it was $69.99

can anyone else verify this? i have the SS PRO, no remote, on a 42 HPX95 Plasma, with 2 comps and 1 HDMI.

the SS's are awesome due to multi ethernet hookups, and optical audio. but if its at a picture quality loss that is visable, then its time for something more expensive (audio authority has a $200 auto switching box)

[cag1000]

how many systems can you hook up with that Madcatz?

[cchen326]

4 for the madcatz

This has been debated to death on message boards dedicated to this type of research. You will get people arguing on both sides, which tells me any loss would be so small I wouldn't worry about it. My eye does not see any loss at 1080i on the SS pro.

[Skylander7]

I believe signal loss is minimized, as it has its own power supply. I personally need one for the optical inputs. My home theatre receiver only has one, and I have to keep switching cables. Honestly, the SS Pro is the best alternative to a high end receiver (as even many mid range receivers only have one or two optical inputs, and maybe 2 component input sets at the most).

Some of the Gamestops now have the 2.0 version.. has anyone picked it up for 29.99, or is it just the old versions?

[FrankieFiero]

I've heard some complaints on the AVS forums about the SS2, and they recommended the Joytech one:

(use the $10 off video game accesory coupon - I did, it worked).

I used the original Pelican SS Pro, no issues with that one, and no issues with this either.
It is nice to finally have a remote control one.

[geoelectric]

I have a SS Pro w/ Remote (I assume that's the 2.0) and see no loss. My friend has the same model, and gets interference lines. I do believe his might be defective, though, or he has a wiring issue.

Honestly, just buy it from somewhere with a return policy. I'm thrilled with mine.

[Beana Blasta]

I reccomend the joytech one, its what I use

[xrickyb86x]

didn't pelican put out a new one with a lighted digital display type thing (it might be madcatz correct me if im wrong)? i know the original pelican one didn't have that sooo maybe they're clearing out the older pelican SS pros?

[KainOfSouls]

Hey I got this on my local Gamestop at 24.99. For now it's working great.

[Jesu]

Does anyone know of a good one for only 3-4 component cables? I don't want any video loss.

[creap]

I picked up a selector with remote from best buy, It was awhile ago so I am not exactly sure of the company name but I believe it is Intec, It has 4 intputs and I wanna say it sold for no more than $30. It was in the video game section and the store employee at that time had no idea what I was talking about and had directed me to the Home Stereo section. Its not the best but its not too expensive either.
