I have a component cable with an end for a ps3, xbox 360 and wii. If I plug a xbox 360 and ps3 into it and then plug it into my tv will something bad happen if I have both my xbox and ps3 on? Or will this even work at all.
Not sure if you can connect them both. The adapter piece is probably too short to connect both. The power adapters will create too wide of a separation to connect them. If you did manage to connect them you're either going to get nothing or you're going to blow up your house and every house within a 5 mile radius.
I wouldn't try it - you won't blow up the whole block or even your whole house (worst that would happen to the house is a blown fuse or circuit breaker), but you could ruin either the PS3 or the Xbox 360 or both. I doubt it would hurt the TV, but I wouldn't try it anyway - why risk it? There's no reason to leave them all plugged in and turned on anyway - it surely wouldn't work, as the TV would not know which set of signals to display - the mix would be impossible for the TV to display even if no damage were done. Certainly don't power both units on at once, and I'd even keep only one device plugged in at a time just to be safe in case I forgot and did power up both devices at once just to be safe.
