| duffypmk's Full Review: Pelican System Selector |
The Pelican System Selector or Sony System Selector is a must have for anyone with more than one gaming or video system. First let me start off explaining why I was in the market for an item like this. It was just before Christmas, and I was pondering how I was going to hook up my sons Playstation2 he was getting for Christmas and still have easy access to his Dreamcast, Nintendo64 and VCR. I had two options: 1. Switch connections between the devices each time my son wanted to use a different input for his TV (this would result in my wife killing me) 2. Finding a way to connect all input devices simultaneously. Obviously option 2 was preferable. I figured there had to be a device in existence to do this since computer techs have been using a similar A/B switch concept for decades to switch between multiple printers and computer systems. I then began my search for the perfect device that could handle at least three devices. I was extremely lucky, I stumbled onto the device at a Toys R Us. I found the Sony version of the System Selector. The major difference between the Sony and the Pelican versions is that the Sony accommodates 4 input devices (game and video systems) while the pelican only handles three.
The Results:
In minutes on Christmas morning I was able to connect my sons new Playstation2, Dreamcast, Nintendo64 and VCR to his TV allowing him to change between input devices with a single push of a button. I felt like a hero in my sons eyes, at least for a couple of minutes, then he killed me in one of his video games (and he is only 11). Both the Sony and Pelican versions even come with pre-labeled buttons that you can just snap in for the appropriate connection to avoid any confusion. Just make sure you have the necessary RCA cables for each input device to connect to the box, it comes with cables to connect to the TV. The Sony version even has a connection for S-video inputs (I am not sure about the Pelican version). The Pelican and Sony System Selector are not only for people with Video Game systems, they are also great for people who want access to a DVD and VCR or any other video input device to a single TV. So all in all I feel the Pelican or Sony System Selector is a must have for anyone using multiple input devices to their TV.
