Radioshack has a Component Cable for PS2/3, Wii, and 360 for like $20.

and there's a slight improvement, everything's a tad sharper and you can see clearer textures from farther out. kind of a godsend in RE4 and Metroid since you can see threats further out.

edit----------
here you go, I'd just pick it up instore though.

and the reviews are kinda funny.
one says it's cheaply made, but I've twisted mine, actually tripped over the plastic part where it all connects and accidentally stepped on the PS2/3 connector. and it works just fine
another says it won't output audio when multiple systems hooked up. It does, it just won't when multiple systems are on and since most people put their 360 into a sort of "standby" there might be the reason of the issue lol.

I already got Wii Play with the extra Wiimote.
