I have it vertical, it allows the hot air to be blown away faster.

I wonder if that works with fanboys, too?

I have had a noise from my Wii when upright, I would describe it as a juddering noise (is that a possible description for your noise)

It only did it after I dropped it once, I thought I had broken it at first but it has only done it a couple of times since.

While the horizontal PS3 may run cooler, I would imagine the vertical PS3 is still within reasonable limits.

I had my ps3 horizontal...the fan randomly started blowing SO strongly on occasion...i now have it vertical and it has never blown so strongly...



I hope my 360 doesn't RRoD

Standing the PS2 vertical would kill the disc drive a bit quicker and cause it to DRE. Of course that system had a major design flaw with its laser alignment mechanism.

I have mine horizontal. I don't trust spinning things vertically (the HDD and the Bluray drive).

I used to put mine vertical because it looks sexier that way, but with my 360 I don't take any chances as the slightest touch fucks up your disc.

Either way it makes no difference.
