StaceyPowers Posted June 27, 2021 Posted June 27, 2021 If it is an option with your console, do you position yours horizontally or vertically?
The Blackangel Posted June 27, 2021 Posted June 27, 2021 Vertical. It offers more surface area to dispel heat. Family sedan, StaceyPowers and Steerminator 3

The Blackangel Posted June 27, 2021 Posted June 27, 2021 They can't get to them. The systems are on my desk in a cubby. I'd say they are about 3' or so off the ground. Not even my pitbull can get to them.

There are only a few spots in my tiny home where it can go.
The Blackangel Posted June 27, 2021 Posted June 27, 2021 Run a small wire with a tiny electric charge out around the area. When she gets a small zap a few times she will learn that that's not a place she wants to go. Nothing enough to hurt her in any way, just enough to get her attention.
Family sedan Posted June 28, 2021 Posted June 28, 2021 I have my PlayStations placed horizontally. I'm simply too afraid of them tipping over if they were placed vertically.
Empire Posted June 28, 2021 Posted June 28, 2021 Vertical since launch, not had heard any problems. I honestly think it's a bit silly to advise against it when the console was designed to placed vertically as well. I mean two options and they allow it. Nothing wrong without unless you have it upside down 😛
Razor1911 Posted July 1, 2021 Posted July 1, 2021 It's good to have it horizontally. I'm afraid if it gets off from table. I can't let my piece of my heart go broke that way. 😄
m76 Posted July 1, 2021 Posted July 1, 2021 Used to have it horizontal, switched to vertical when I moved my console from my PC to another room. Even if it would fall over the floor is padded as it is in my "recreational" room which also has gym equipment hence the padded floor.

I always position things horizontally because it just looks more natural to me. But if there's a logical reason why I should do it vertically instead, I should probably try to start doing that.
chevvy Posted July 2, 2021 Posted July 2, 2021 Vertically only because I have no room for it otherwise lol

The most sensible reasoning you have. 😁 Now I too think that having my console vertically would be more beneficial for it. playing 3 to 4 hours at a stretch really makes it a heating oven. 😆
Shole Posted July 4, 2021 Posted July 4, 2021 Usually I put it vertically as I it has enough space, but when I was working in China I was putting my PS horizontally to match my room design 😄

It's actually horizontally placed for me always because I don't think it look normal placing it vertically in my opinion.
