Summary: Poorly/cheaply made. 2008-03-10
Comment: Mine was out of warranty and the composite video started to become flaky. Turns out the plug to the video was loose. I then found out that many of the plugs were loose. So I took mine apart and found that many of the solder points were disconnected from the mainboard of the device. Completely faulty soldering.

Summary: Looking for a System Changer? 2007-11-21
Comment: If you are looking for a system selector, you have found it. It is a basic system selector, and will work with basic TVs, but I fear it won't work with high def TVs. If all that matters to you is that it is an easy way to change systems, and quality is not lost, then you have clicked on the right item. However, I cannot say whether or not it works with high def systems like the PS3. I guess you'd have to take a risk. But, what kind of person would play their PS3 on a regular TV? I know I would. Just buy this selector if you need one. OK?

Summary: Gets the job done for not alot of mulah. 2007-10-24
Comment: Ok, first of all the item is not as bad as some of these reviewers have written. I went out of my way to get a second one as I have NES, SNES, N64, Gamecube, Xbox, Xbox360, and a PS2 with a PS3 in the pipe. Both work flawlessly.
Here's the skinny... it's a switchbox... not a processor. It's 20 bucks... not 120.
That said you will have about a 0.5% signal loss (about a dB in signal) going through the unit. Unless you have a really nice HD TV and know where every pixel on the screen is going to be and at what time... you're not going to notice the loss. It does work in HD. The guy who says it doesn't should try fiddling with his settings. If the console and TV aren't configured correctly it will look very bad. All the box is is a physical switcher... wire for wire... and a solid one at that. I dropped mine on a concrete floor while moving and it took it smiling. The lack of completeness on the nameplates for the front is the only packaging complaint of mine. Most people that will use these are hardcore enthusiasts that will likely still have some of the older systems. At any rate... it's worth the money. If you're worried about signal loss then you can go ahead and buy one of the state of the art combiners and signal regenerators that will give you the best possible picture on a single mixed-down set of outputs. If you can afford the TV that would make a noticeable difference in this then you can afford to not bargain bin on your cables and switches anyways. (gold plated connectors are just an excuse to charge you more.. gold is actually a worse conductor than copper is.. worse than the alloys they use on this stuff nowdays, even... it just doesn't corrode. If you take care of your stuff you won't have that problem anyways.)
My only physical complaint about the unit is that it only has 3 component inputs and not 4 of them. The fourth input is composite/s-video, though, and better than most switches composite-only fourth port. I'll be buying a third and fourth one of these to handle the mix-down of the few consoles I'm adding in the future as they do not make, currently, a 12 port component switch... which is what I need.

Summary: Just what I needed. 2007-09-21
Comment: The right price; does the right job. The slightest fault might be that the connections and bonus cables are not gold plated, but this wasn't used on higher end equipment so there was no noticeable visual or audio degradation. I needed an inexpensive video selector that works with component connections and this was just what I needed. The bonus cables made it a great value too.
