I read a review on the web that says that the video signal does not suffer at all.
I'll confirm when mine arrives.

sweet - thanks for heads up Conar I was considering a much more expensive solution!! (http://svp.co.uk/products-solo.php?pid=2029&PHPSESSID=11f9382c7313029a61c4743398a41dea) now no need! thanks again

Great find lads....

Now i night actually play my Wii! Just got a HDTV 32" Samsung and the Wii looks so bad I can barely watch it!

Ok so this would prevent me from having to firstly buy a component cable for the Wii and then a switch to connect both 360 and Wii.

Is that right??

correct Vegeta - you would plug component end of this to tv and then it splits into different connectors for the 3 consoles (xbox360, wii & ps3) but you would have to switch the little button to pick the console at any given time.

lads you could also use this as its slightly cheaper

I've ordered one of those through ebay. Just waiting for it to arrive. I'm getting sick of going to the back of my tv to switch from 360 to Wii.

I did notice that but dont forget you'd then still have to go out and buy your component cable for the wii which will combine to the same or more than the single solution mentioned earlier.
Also I've seen a thread or 2 on other forums mentioning that that box isn't shielded and people having been noticing interference (on a low level granted) from their other electrical appliances such as washing machines etc.

Just something to bear in mind.

I got it today!
Fairly sweet delivery time from Play-Asia....I didn't expect to get it til next week tbh.

Anyway the picture seems to be exactly the same on the 360 as when you use the MS branded composite cables (which I would have expected anyway)

Fieldog, I also have a Wii and a 32" Samsung and I'm afraid that the graphics are still crap...on Zelda at least. They may have improved slightly (and yes I did change it to 480p) but its so slight that I'm not even sure if its just my imagination.

Overall a definite thumbs up as its definitely great to be able to cut down on the amount of cables at the back of the TV.
My one criticism would be that the cables for each console are quite short so they will need to be quite close to eachother (approx 1 foot between 360 connector and Wii connector)
