Saw the question somewhere else... I've got a PS2 and 3 connected to the TV, but it'll be ages before the 2 gets a look in again.

I fully intend to connect every viable system I've got when I get my own place though :twisted:

I'd argue that PC's count too...

Why not? Ps3 streams media wirelessly from my mac. Although my mac is currently at work.

Technically, all I have hooked up to my tv is my home cinema amp. I have a PS3, Mac Mini and Sky HD box plugged into the amp, which switches HDMI.

Xbox 360, dvdplayer/dual HD tuner hard drive recorder box and windows 7 box to stream media from server hooked to TV. There's a surround sound system attached. Wii plugged in occasionally. Son's PS3 sometimes when home. Dual screen PC in the room too. Usually a tablet or two in the room.

We don't talk much.......

The PC has its own dedicated monitor.

The PS3 (which is mostly used for Netflix these days, and the occasional Blu-ray film) is hooked up to the TV, along with my trusty OnLive Micro Console.

It's only recently I've been full-on gaming with the PS3 (rentals mostly), I do tend to use it more for iPlayer and quick browsing. This seems to be common, and as usual, MS are playing catch-up and overdoing it...

Side question; how many of you also do that? :)

My Game Cube and Digibox are hooked up to the VHS which is hooked up to the TV and speakers.

I don't think any of them have been switched on for about 5 years :lol:
