Maybe you're one of those indecisive people... or maybe you aren't (but you might be, really). Maybe. I mean, you make plenty of decisions. Like, today, you so totally want to play your Xbox 360 games but you aren't sure if you should do that before or after watching Alien in HD. Either way, you'll have to disconnect one or the other. You still want to keep your game consoles hooked up without having to switch the cables manually, and therein lies your true dilemma. Instead of having to face the consequences of choice, you're really the victim of technology. If only "they" created something that would allow you to smoothly transition from one to the other.
A Selector Box, Huh?
Yes, a selector box might encourage passivity but it also encourages the right of choice. Your choice to flip between entertainment. It's a total drag when you are playing your Xbox and realize the next game on your toworthy boxes can support whole rows of cables for all your video, gaming, audio and satellite TV needs.
So Which Should I Get?
It really depends on how much space, use and money you intend to devote to such a device. The small plastic ones cost approximastely $6-10 dollars, give or take. The bigger ones are more useful for a home theater system with several channels that can switch between different surround sound settings, TV, DVD, and entertainment centers. These are sturdier and are capable of handling more data. Their price tag can range from approximately $21 to $100+. The other benefit is that by connecting all your cables and keeping them in the same spot, they'll always be in neat lines, not strewn coils that can get tangled. The big question is: Are you going to be using this a lot or only a little bit? Choose wisely, my friend.
