Are there any multi-system component cables that work?

[apkrbs]

I just bought a PS3 and my inputs are limited on my TV so I bought a universal energizer hd component cable, nothing on the box said it wouldn't work when plugged in to more than one system at the same time(PS3 & 360), that information was on a small piece of paper tucked inside the packaging.

My question is, is there a multi-system component cable that will work while hooked up to more than one system at the same time?

Short answer: No.

Long answer: The better solution would be to buy a switch to hook up multiple consoles to a device and that device to your TV. That way if you need to switch to any, all consoles can be on and all you need to do is press a button on a remote/device.

You'd basically need something like this:

I don't know how good/bad the product I linked is, just picked the first thing google came up with. Cons of course are lots of cables, and the unit needs power, and yet another remote.

I'm pretty sure I have an unused component switch box floating around my closet somewhere. I think I planned on using it a couple of years ago and decided to go with HDMI instead. I'd be happy to ship it to you for $20.

DO NOT BUY A POWERED SWITCHER!

I actually have a spare gamestop brand one I'd be willing to let go for real cheap as well. I'll even throw in one set of the component cables with it.
