Use component for the PS3, VGA for the 360. It will be far cheaper and give better results than a component switch.

I was going to put the same thing Kreeee, but the HDTV sounds quite old and may not support a VGA resolution capable of powering the 360. It might only have 800x600. Finding out the tech specs of the TV should be the first step in this situation.
