Thanks for replying. I have a Panasonic TH-42PX6OU, which I believe has 2 x HDMI and 2 component video.

Based on what you said the PS3 will connect via HDMI, which leaves the Wii, meaning I may only need a 2x1 switcher?

(We have HD cable coming into 1 component set).

Either way, are passive switchers just as good as these high priced ones? I'm not really seeing any value in the others (Gefen stuff) although perhaps that's because I don't have a need to utilise all the functions they offer.
