Splitting component cables?

I have 2 component inputs on my TV. One is occupied by my HD box and the other by my DVD player.   The wife just made the mistake of getting me a Playstation2 for Xmas and I want to connect it via component as well.

What is the best way to accomplish this without investing $100+ in a component switcher box?

I use two Radio Shack audio-visual switchers at home, one for the component video and one for the audio switching to feed satellite and DVD into my set. Not elagent but a lot cheaper than the component switchers. The quality - ? Can't tell the difference between direct feed and thru the switcher.

Thanks, Kev.  

I was wondering if that would work.  I'll try it out and return it if I don't like it.

Thanks again.
