Where do I plug my Wii?

Question 3: Is there such thing as a Component Cable switcher box where you can plug two devices into it and ‘switch’ between which device you want to use?

The only thing I can do is question number 3.

I bought a switch box for switching component, composite, and s-video cords. It was cheap and you get what you pay for. It doesn't convert video settings, so you have to get about 3 different cords to make everything work. This is why I am stressing out about getting a Wii, because if I got one, I would have to use candles for the sensor bar and either buy the component cords (which I will do) or but another cord that goes into my projector.

Kind of a bummer, but like I said, you get what you pay for.

Use an S-Cable for your DVD player, and a component cable for your Wii. Dont worry HD/blue ray DVD players will be the standard by next year, then you'll have to switch to an HDMI cable anyways.

Why would you have to use candles instead of the sensor bar.

Because as of this moment I have no screen and I don't wanna mount the sensor bar somewhere where I might have to take it down later.
Though I will probably get the screen before I get the Wii because screens are easier to find than Wiis.

Wow thats pretty optimistic. I dont believe they will be a standard for much longer than that. 1. So many people already bought a DVD collection, True HD-DVD players can play normal DVDs however. 2. Only 5% out there have HD sets, in order to be a standard it has to be much more than 5%.

I also predict the Blu-Ray will die as well, Sony is digging themselves a grave lately. Last Quarter results showed a VERY small profit for a company of that size. They lost a lot of money on the exploding batteries senario. They are losing what 2-300 dollars on each PS3. Three major game publishers left the PS3 exclusive contract with Sony, a big one being Koei. Many game developers are NOT impressed with the PS3 at all.

Connect your HD box to your tv using an HDMI cable, then you have an open component for your Wii.
