need advice about an HD component selector

[Kenji006]

With the PS3 and Wii coming up i'm not gonna have enough room on the back of my tv to hook up all of the component cables. can anyone recommend a decent HD component switch/selector for under $100?

I use the older model Pelican System Selector Pro. It was $99.99. The new models have a LED display and a better remote and possibly a few more component inputs (not sure on that) and are still $99.99 I believe. I love it, no signal loss that I can notice at all and it's probably the best option for under $100.

the system selector pro and system selector pro 2.0 are the best out there...

gamestop carries an HD System Selector (I believe 4 spots) for $20 and is a less expensive alternative

You can get this bad boy and make it look like you have all 3 next gen systems.

Best Buy has the Psyclone selector with a programmable display, remote, and 4 inputs for Component, fiber optic audio, and ethernet. It works surprisingly well and I don't notice any noise. The web site doesn't show it anymore though, but the local stores still carry it around here.

i also vouch for the Psyclone...very nice and even works with my Logitech controller


This is where i got mine...when i got it though i have my doubts if it was new or not since the box was literally falling apart and there was no battery in the remote...but cosmetically it looked new and for the price i am happy. about $55 shipped

I've done extensive research on getting a new box since I was unhappy with my current Pelican System Selector. I mostly wanted one with more digital audio connections and remote capabilities (I have the original selector without the remote).

I've heard good things about the Psyclone and the older model Joytech. This new Joytech looks pretty nice, so I'm now considering that, but more people have recommended the Psyclone than the older Joytech.

I personally didn't see any issues with image loss with the Pelican Selector, but admittedly I only used it very sparingly with 720p picture. The majority of the images pumped through it were 480i and 480p. And the 720p was from a few Xbox 1 games that supported it, not my 360 (Which I kept connected to the free input on my TV.)

They've raised the price of the Psyclone at Best Buy to $120, which has delayed my purchase for a while in the hopes of a deal.

I always recommend the Impact Acoustics / Cables to Go 3-Play. Available on buy.com and thenerds.net, among other places. Metal case, no noise/signal degredation at 720p/1080i, end of story.

Roughly 50 dollars.
