how will you place your 360 in your entertainment set up? I'll probably have it laying down since all my other stuff is already the same way....are there any advantages to having the system on it's side? I might would consider sitting it up if there were but I don't think I'll have room for that anyway

You can't really stack anything ontop of it because of the wierd design. Vertical is better for me, it saves shelf space, I'll place it somewhere close to my TV - which isn't a HDTV unfortunately :(

Yeah, and sometimes the disc will fall out. It looks better horizontal if you ask me.

Oh, and when I read the thread title, I had two thoughts:

1. Shouldn't this be in off topic discussion

2. This will get locked for sure.

But then, I thought you weren't talking about the 360.

well i have had my ps2 for about 3 years and the only time it had a problem is when i broke the controller port from yanking the controller so hard. got it fixed for $60. other than that, my ps2 was just fine.

alright it's time to bring this thread back to life. I have my 360 vertical and it seems fine and looks great although i've heard that it makes more noise vertical and scratches your discs when you move it- so just don't move it idiots

Right now its standing up because it isn't in an entertainment tower, its just on a cool flat surface. When i get my entertainment tower i'll put it in there lying down.
