Demigod Mac is considering this product.

However, some have noted that it has bandwidth problems with HD signals.

Please discuss!

I've not used that one, I own the Pelican Component Selector, but its $90
It does switch optical which is pretty darn nice if you have a ps2, xbox and DVD player.

I've not had any problems with it and HD with my projector/xblaster

Edit:
Generally, you get what you pay for.
If you own a HDTV I would get the pelican switcher

 

[Demigod Mac]

Ordered one. We shall see.

As far as playing games in 480p I have not had any complaints with this thing. I'm not Snooty McPicturePerfect though so I may be missing something. My dvd player though does rarely flicker for a fraction of a second some red or blue lines across the image, but that may be due to either poor cables/connections or the fact it was like a $40 progressive scan DVD player from Radio Shack or Suncoast or somewhere random.

"Snooty McPicturePerfect"

Why bother getting an HDTV then? the whole point of an HDTV is to have that picture perfect image.

 

[Mr. Lemming]

I'm just not super-anal about how my image looks... only partially anal... I haven't even rented Video Essentials.

I have that selector, never noticed any degradation in quality.

bandwidth isn't an issue with passive switches like this one. i use one for my ps2 and xbox, it passes hd signals fine, and i haven't noticed any image degradation. i'm not hugely anal about video quality, though.
