    Re: How is your 360 sitting?

    My 360 is sitting somewhere other than my house in a crate.

      I got mine vertical, I think it's the best way to have IMO...I dpubt it would sratch any of your games, unless you move the system while the game are playing. With all the pics of the 360 befor release the vertical way, I tend to believe this is the way it should be...

        PS2 was always shown that way too., Over time it scratched disks and many think it was one of the main issues with the PS2. No way mine will be vertical.

          I got a PS2 at launch and always left it vertical. Never had a problem with it for 5 years. Never had a scratchd disc either. Go figure.

            I had 3 PS2's, tried to vertical...had tons of issues, as did many people in my area as saw a lot of returned systems due to that issue, the common thing with them all was they were all vertical. I feel, if it was meant to be vertical, the drive would be horizontal when vertical.

              what problems did it cause, other than supposedly scratching discs? I didn't know there was so much trouble with them.

                Scratches and reading blue backed discs. I never had a single issue reading a blue back when the system was horizontal, if it went vert, I would get errors...I'm no expert, but I changed because of it. Since by looking at the 360, it appears it's made to go horizontal, that's how it's sitting in my A/V rack.

                  I always thought the problem with the PS2s was because the lense got dirty. That was the problem with the "blue back" discs. It happenned to me, but then I cleaned the lense every couple of months without problem.

                  I read somewhere on IGN that MS intended for the system to be set horizontal so that's what I'm sticking with for now. I think it looks better too.

                    Like I said, I'm no expert, so who knows. I was just bringing up the PS2 info that Sony did the same thing. If you notice, the new PS2 can stand vertical, but it's made to be horizontal.

                        But at the same time, I agree with you, it looks sweet vertical.

                          I kept my first PS2 vertical to save on space and I had a ton of issues with it.

                          The second one I'm on right now hasn't given me a problem but it's been horizontal.

                          Also, never had a scratched disk when vertical except for Madden 2004 when I accidently knocked the console over when it was running. Other than that I've never had another scratching issue.

                              It doesn't sit flush since it has feet. I had my system on for 10 hours straight, it's in a well ventilated area and actually wasn't that hot at all.

                                If you look, there's enough room underneath when it sits horizontally on a nice flat surface.
