On the off chance you've got more than one HDMI device sitting around and yet—horror of horrors!—you have but one HDMI input on your mega-monster HD display, relax. Evergreen's got an HDMI switch that should fix your problems all speedy like. It's a tiny little box that I'm going to have to describe in tremendous detail if I have any hope of making this post long enough. Simple enough: two HDMI signals enter, only one leaves. Well, at a time.
Anyway, jack in your PS3 and your HD DVD player and then hit the appropriate button to switch back and forth. Even a child can do it. Well, a child that knows how to press buttons. There's also an infrared remote that lets you do the switchy-switchy from the comfort of your couch, but the real high point is the device's low point: it's $82 pricetag. Nice.
