    Does there exist an adapter of some sort that you can use to switch from one input to another for speakers. I wanna switch between PS3 sound and my MP3 without having to rip out the cable every time....

    if you are using the regular rca cables, then this will do the job

    Im using a normal connection for my MP3 - its a green plug. And at the moment I'm using the red and you connections from the ps3 going into a small adapter that changes it into one connection.

    But id be getting a HD TV so would be using a HDMI cable and will prob need a different cable to attach my PS3 to the speakers.

    yeah you would need different cables then..

    the connections on your speakers sound like its a mini jack (headphone sized plug)

    i cant find any mini jack switchers... so you could use the switch i posted above. the ps3 would go into that, then use a mini jack to 2 rca cable for the mp3

    and then use another one of those cables with a coupler* to connect it to the speakers.

    a fairly long winded way, but its possible.
