Sony would be moronic to design it with disregard to it lying to the side since they know a lot of customers will use it like that.

I though I read somewhere that they have it standing up so heat could escape to keep it cooler easier, which I thought implied if laid horizontally there could be issues.

In any case, if I lay that thing down the length of it won't fit into my box shaped entertainment center. I don't want to have to buy a new $300-600 entertainment center just to use a game console lol.

Doubt there would be issues. Hot air rises though, so cooling may be a little less/more efficient on it's side depending entirely on fan placement. - But i would assume that the console features fans with variable spin rates which will likely ramp up in rpm to mitigate that anyway.

It shouldn't really matter at the end of the day.
