I asked this before but never bought a HDTV. However I have one on the way
now.

I could do with a Component switch box for 360, Wii and my DVD player.

I;ve seena  few around but with terrible reviews.

Can anyone recommend something?

Thanks

Cheers m8, looks very similar to the Bandridge one that Maplin sell, which
someone on Avforums recommended.
Looks like the one for me!

Cheers again!

Be aware that the Joytech 540C has known problems with the Wii.

Cheers, I looked at one of these and read that Joytech produced an adaptor
with a resistor in which corrected the Wii signal, but couldn't find details
anywhere on how to get one.

That is a good price though.

Have picked up one of these
http://www.futureshop.co.uk/bandridge-component-video-switching-unit-p-623.html
for £25 delivered. Don't mind it being manual as I had to do that with my
old scart switcher.

Cheers to all who replied!

Apparently, the adapter doesn't actually help.

4Gamers have always been the worst.

they're also the cheapest, which is why Game get all their Gameware
branded stuff off them.

i still have nightmares about those shitty GC pads of theirs.

Haha so true.  I had a MadCatz steering wheel for, I think it was a
Dreamcast, it was way back.  Anyway, it was comically sh.t, to the point
where just a game the wheel became semi detached from its, well, steering
column I suppose.  Needless it was swiftly returned to game for a "This is
crap" refund...  Maybe it was for a Saturn?  I'm sure it was a Sega
console...   I feel as thought it broke on MSR actually, maybe it was the
Dreamcast - was it even MadCatz now I think about it, or was it one of the
others... Age does nothing for memories :-)

For me it was always buttons on joypads. Invariably they needed two
hands just to press them down enough to get a reaction.
