So I would like to place it in vertical but I ve some concerns.

In vertical position, will I have any disc-reading problems? Because disc will not properly placed or dont have enough resistance I guess. Also I need to put it on 3rd floor of my desk to have anough space but this time it will be staying next to my center focal speaker and just be underneath of my X2000 lcd tv. Do you think because of those magnetic waves and maybe due to sound from the center speaker , will I have some problems?

Or maybe when its in use I may place in vertical position , when in peace,I place it horizontal, possible?

If you can advice I ll be glad...

Thx...

hey there,

i've been using my ps3 vertically and have yet to experience any kind of problem. definitely no disc reading/registering errors - the ps3's drive seems to have a very firm grip on the disc when you insert it.

i would be surprised if the magnetic waves from speakers disrupt the ps3's operation. those would have to be some pretty impressive, blasting-clothes-off-the-girl caliber speakers.
