I'm trying to think ahead which usually fails :D I just bought a Sony 60A2020 with 2 HDMI hook ups. Is that enough? What do people do that have a PS3/Xbox 360/another HDMI device
I have a PS3. Plan on getting 360 sooner or later. I'm upgrading to Comcast HD digital tomorrow. Does that use HDMI?
Basically Im trying to decide if I should hold onto the Sony or return it and get a tv with more HDMI connections. Im new to HDMI so pretty clueless so any advice is appreciated.
Thank You.

$100 buys you a very nice 3:1 HDMI switch from Oppo http://www.oppodigital.com/hm31/. You can also get 4:1 switches for similar money - I just liked the Oppo when I saw it because it seems really well made. Cheaper switches are probably junk.
The price difference for a set with three HDMI inputs is probably more than that. I say enjoy your set and buy a switch if you ever need more inputs. Also, if you plan to go the Home Theater route with an AV Receiver, you can buy one of those with an HDMI switch and route through it.
Hey - for $200, you could buy two of the Oppo switches and give your TV 6 HDMI inputs! :D

I've purchased an HDMI cable and component cables from monoprice.com, and their products are very high quality at very reasonable prices. Here's the HDMI siwtches they sell--I haven't presonally used one of these, but if the quality is similar to their cables, you should be very satisfied--they have a 3X1 for $42:
