Multi system component cables cheap, Wii, PS2/3, Xbox 360

[quote name='WhoKnowsWho']Has a small selector switch for selecting the system so this could work well in a pinch instead of a standalone system selector for people with multiple systems.

Only $19.90

I'm tempted just because I am out of inputs with my four system selector. And that is with the PS2 and PS3 sharing one cable that I switch between them.

Hope this isn't a repost...[/quote]

I saw this as well. Ncsx claims they'll have the same cable up for sale tomorrow...probably at a higher price.
Anyhow, I own the prior version of this cable (fox xbox, dreamcast, etc.), and whilte it's fully functional it definitely shows some slight interference (especially on completely dark screens).
Definitely a cheap solution, but not as good as having individual cables.
 
Whoa, for a minute I thought it was a selector, but this is an all in one cable. Not bad... If only I saw this before I bought my NoA cables awhile back.
 
[quote name='Tendoboy']Good price, but I always hated these types of cables.....all those dangling extra unused connectors.........Nyko is coming out with what looks like the closest to the Nintendo brand yet...........

that sensor bar looks good, but why don't they make one with a power adapter as an option or you can use battery power. i understand the idea is that it is wireless, but i think these companies are missisng the point. people want wireless so that the console can be placed away from the tv/sensor bar if need be (projectors, etc.) if they would include an ac adapter i would buy this at $50 in a second....
 
The rechargable batteries for the Wii - motes are needed. I'm eating up batteries every 2 weeks. The Nyko ones look ugly though.

Just pick up some rechargeabla AAs an a charger. They're cheaper an they dont have to be in your wii-mote to charge. The nyko ones are just AAs anyways.

Did the prior version have a switch on it? I've used multi-console cables without a switch and noticed interference as well, but I assume because that's because the cable is trying to get a signal from everything it's plugged into at once, the switch would prevent this. Also, you mentioned dreamcast, was it a component cable or just S-Video/Composite?

Nah, the old version was just S-video, so there wasn't a switch. According to ncsx, this cable works just fine. My only hesitation would be if the switch broke down with time.

The old version was fine for the most part. It just seem like it wasn't as clear as having a single cable per console.
