| swearitsoul said: I have just put my PS3 vertical and I was wondering if it was a bad idea. I hear about Xbox 360's breaking all the time when vertical however what about the PS3? I know it was built to go vertical, evidence due to the PS3 logo near the disk slot. My PS3 is well ventilated etc and was wondering if the hardware inside would break due to it being vertical. Thoughts people? |
no the hardware will not break if its vertical, but i wouldn't recommend it. the dust that builds up when the ps3 is horizontal doesn't get inside the ps3, but however if its vertical dust can easily get inside just like a chimeny. it will collect, and in a year or 2 it could cause some heating problems because the dust can build up and block the ventilation.
when i open up my friends ps3 to swap the hardrive, he had a huge collection of dust inside, and i own the ps3 longer than him and when i swapped hardrives on mines it didn't have any dust in the hardrive slot, its because he has it vertical.
and no swapping hardrives doesn't void your warranty
