Now what’s so special about a white box with a million connectors at the back? Well, if you’re like me, and thinking of buying all the three next-gen consoles while keeping the current ones too, this is just the thing you need. Courtesy of those connectors at the back, you can now keep all the consoles hooked to this thing, while it itself is hooked to your TV. What you can then do is simply switch between the inputs when you want to game on a certain console. Also, don’t forget that you can connect all your other TV-related stuff like DVD Players connected to it.

Here’s a part of their launch info:

Once the Xbox 360 is connected to the Control Center 540C, users have access to an additional four HDTV ready component video inputs, five composite video and stereo audio inputs, five S-video inputs and four digital optical inputs alongside a corresponding matched output for each input connection, allowing for a broad and extensive range of equipment to be permanently connected to just a single input on the users TV, display or sound system. Additionally, the Control Center 540C features a six port Ethernet LAN Hub, providing a reliable connection to Xbox Live and other network devices. Furthermore, the front panel of the Control Center 540C houses an additional set of S-video, composite video and stereo audio inputs allowing quick and easy access for camcorders or game consoles.

Now whichever way you look at this thing, it offers a lot of bang for your buck. And speaking of bucks, this isn’t that expensive either. The Control Center 540C will be available in Europe and North America from November 2006 and will retail for a suggested price of £89.99 and $129.99 respectively. My suggestion: start saving!
