[Multiplatform] Console Positioning

Personally, I like my consoles lying flat and horizontal. I was simply never comfortable with the PS2 being vertical. My discomfort was probably completely unfounded, but being unable to see the mechanism which spins the disc and holds it in place on the PS2 did not instill confidence in having the PS2 in any position other than horizontal. Granted, it is probably something exactly like the original Playstation had, but still. My 360 sits horizontal, and I have no desire or need to stand it vertical. Plus the whole possibility of them falling over, if there is like an earthquake or something.

However, if I were to hook up and play my original Playstation, that is one console that I would sit in the standard horizontal position under no circumstances. Due to overheating and subsequently damaging my original launch PSX, I became in the habit of leaning it vertical, usually wedged between my tv and snes, or laying it horizontal, but upside down. This allowed the heat to leave through the vents located on the bottom of the console. I hear a rumor that heat tends to rise, so only having vents on the bottom seems kind of silly, in retrospect.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
