Looks like you'll be switching back and forth then.

You can't just switch between the two?

You could always just switch, or theres most liley some sort of switch box you could buy out there so you wouldnt have to unplug things all the time.

I refuse to use component cables on my PS3. I priced switch boxes and they are pretty expensive. Around 150-200 dollars.

You cant play them both at the same time... So why not switch the cable?

Meh- just do one on Component and one on HDMI. HDMI is the better cable, but component handles HD just as well. If all you are going to do is game on your 360, component will work and its cheaper. Use the HDMI for the ps3 so you can take advantage of the better image for movies and other such media ^^v and you wont have to go through the hassle of switching >_
