Do you like the PS5 console design?

So, as unveiled:

Now just to lay it down to the left, while flipping the ODD:

Or getting rid of the hard right angle near the ODD.

Now tell me this doesn't look much better when horizontal. It's still not amazing, and would unfortunately list slightly, but I think it looks considerably better than laying down to the right with the stand and ODD underneath.

Just a tiny amount of list. SNY could just make the bottom portion (standing) ever so slightly wider on both sides of the digital edition, so the same case section can be used on the physical edition so it can lay down perfectly flat this way without a stand, and the digital edition could lay either way.

I like the rounded ODD edge version on the right better, vertical or horizontal.

Unfortunately the sides are curved in both directions, so it would be rocking back and forth as well or list to one side depending on where the center of mass is (or cables tugging on it) Got to add some rubber nobs in the corners to level it out and make it stable.

Perhaps the psu is on the far left (bottom), heaviest part, it might even stay horizontal without any help :)

Yup. Small rubber feet spread out a bit from the center would be necessary, but they would almost have to come off. I could see people who want to stand it up being really disappointed that the feet ruin the sleek smooth look if they are glued on. All I would guess is that there is a sizable fan in the corner where the vents are, and that the PSU is either long and really narrow at the back, or it's at the bottom (vertical) beside the ODD. You really don't want it too top heavy.

Maybe the simpler answer is just wait for a better aftermarket stand?
