I'm looking for a component video switch to be able to hook my xbox (old one), and my PS3 into one input. I found a couple of cheap ones out there, but I'm worried about loss of picture quality (especialy blue-ray movies).

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    I'm using an Impact Acoustics component matrix switcher for all my sources, and I don't see any loss with HD test patterns. They're sometimes branded as "Cables To Go" instead of Impact Acoustics, but they're the same switch.

    Hit Amazon and search for "Cables To Go - 40324 - 3-Play Component Video Digital Audio Selector" and that should do what you need.
    Equipment list:
    Onkyo TX-NR3010 9.2 AVR
    Emotiva XPA-3 amp
    Polk RTi70 mains, CSi40 center, RTi38 surrounds, RTi28 rears and heights
    SVS 20-39CS+ subwoofer powered by Crown XLS1500
    Oppo BDP-93 Blu-ray player
    DarbeeVision DVP5000 video processor
    Epson 8500UB 1080p projector
    Elite Screens Sable 120" CineWhite screen

    I picked one up at RadioShack (which I usually turn my nose up at), and it performed better than any $100 plus switch that I tested. The RS model can be had for about 25 bucks!
