lol people need to reread their post before posting and stop confusing horizontal and vertical XD
actually like I said my ps3 is the only console I have that I put vertically, mainly because of the "new way" you insert the disc in, like the Wii. There's nowhere I can't reach. |
They way a console sits doesn't matter to me all that much, except when it comes to the Wii which I have had sitting vertically since I got it. Even though it fell twice already from my dresser, I still haven't felt like sitting it down.
This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
While playing the Wii with some friends, we've found it's fine to leave it upright when you're playing games with its controllers, but if you ever try to play Smash Brothers Melee on it you'll want to be sure to put it horizontally. Every time we've played some jackass yanked his controller and knocked it over, so we gave up on keeping it vertical and put it horizontal whenever there's four controllers plugged into it.
I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
my xbox360 positioned vertically and PS3 horizontally.
I was speaking idiomatically. |
Wark! |
xbox, xbox 360, PS, PS2, Dreamcast = horizontal
Wii = vertical I think the Wii looks kind of ugly without a stand, and positioned horizontally. What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
I tried having my PS2 vertical for a while, but it didn't like it. It kept making noises that it shouldn't have, and most of the games that I played while it was vertical ended up scratched.
I had my PS1 horizontal, but had upside down. It was the only way that I could get it to run properly. All other consoles have been kept in the horizontal position. FELIPE NO |
Depends, really. Sega Saturn looks like shit vertically, while PS2 actually looks better that way imo.
I think I prefer consoles that are designed to work vertically. Saves space. Then again, my favorite console designs, Sega Dreamcast, SFC JR, are horizontal, so I don't know. I guess it all comes down to if the console has a flat surface or not. If it's built squarely with a flat surface, it should work both ways. What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
Horizontal: The reason being that this is the way entertainment centers are designed. They are not designed to house a bunch of tall components - this method takes up mondo space. In my entertainment center, for example, I would only be able to fit 1/2 the games & consoles into it that I do now if I placed them vertically instead of stacking them via shelves horizontally.
Jam it back in, in the dark. |
My PS2 has been horizontal since the day I got it about 5 years ago, and it's only needed repairs once (and they were done at home by cleaning dust out of it).
My 360 has been vertical since I got it two years ago, and I've had to send it back to Microsoft 5 times now. Guess what position it's in now? There's nowhere I can't reach. |
Upside down?
This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
Pieces?

I actually had my NES upside down for a while because that's the only way I could get it to play The Flintsones instead of Flashing Green Screen, and it was crucial that I play The Flintsones instead of that. Slightly more gameplay. I keep everything horizontal, PS2, Wii, DVD player, toaster. I was a big enough wanker to buy a vertical stand for the PS2 at launch back in the 80's, it got pulled over because the controller cables tend to get yanked a lot. Wow, wanker, pulled, yanked. All very erotic.
Just like toast. I was speaking idiomatically. |

I'm an old-school gamer all the way, so I am used to having my consoles horizontal. I actually laughed the first time I saw a PS2 sitting vertically. When I later found out that it was not a joke, I laughed harder.
