Xbox 360: Better Standing up or Laying Down?

Hey everyone,

I just got my XBOX 360 a week or two ago. Ive had a few problems of Freezing and things saying "Disk is Dirty, Clean Disk" when it is a new game. Im wondering is the xbox better to be standing up or laying down? Ive had it laying down so I wasnt sure.

I did fix the Freezing problem tho when I had the Power Brick in a more ventilated area. But If anyone knows why it is saying Dirty Disk to a new copy of March Madness that would be great.

Thanks!

Honestly it doesn't really matter. I've 2 systems die lying down. I've had this one here standing up for a few months with no problem.

Mine is horizontal since day 1 and it's been fine.

I've had mine vertical and horizontal. I don't think it makes a difference.

If you go vertical, make sure you put it somewhere it won't be tipped over easily. Or better yet, buy a stand.

This seems like a very personal question.

He'd probably advise him to sell his 360, and buy a PS3.
