alright so my LCD monitor only has one HDMI port. So now I have to keep switching plugs between PS3 and 360. What I'm looking for is some sort of cheap, easy solution. Is there like an HDMI y-splitter or something I could get so I could keep both the PS3 and 360 plugged into the same port? I don't want anything that is going to require AC power though.

The reviews on this one seems outstanding given the price.  It does not require any external power "when connected to standard HDMI devices."

I really don't have any experience with these, though.  But if I did need one I would buy one of the above.  I'm not sure if it comes with a HDMI cable though.

Although it might be out of your budget, you could always look for a cheap, used AV receiver. Those tend to have tons of connections, so it might come in handy for other systems as well.

I ended up buying a cheap GE unit I found at target. 2 HDMI ins, 1 out, no power needed. Easy. Cheesy
