Which way do you stand your PS3 - Blu-ray Forum

inaz4sun · 06-08-2007, 10:03 PM

The PS3 can be positioned a couple of ways, and I am curious how people are doing it most often and their comments on their setup.

Horizontally. It's a little too precarious to keep it vertical.

Y3k Bug · 06-08-2007, 10:07 PM

I have mine in the horizontal position.

matthewrounds · 06-08-2007, 10:11 PM

Vertical, better air flow which keeps the machine cooler.

As a note I should point out that mine is 6 feet in the air on a shelf and I live in California (earthquakes!).

Vertical - facing sideways so it's inline with my Bravia tv.

same here

I would love to position mine vertically facing forwards, but no real place to do it. Could put in my TV stand if I remove the glass shelf, but then no room for my receiver and sat box. Don't really want to get a seperate stand or anything. It looks so cool in that position though. I thought about putting it on my Subwoofer, but something tells me that isn't a good idea.

Amen to that brother ! The damn is precious and expensive too

Mine sits horizontally right on top of Denon 2930ci in an open TV stand. Never had any issues with noise of heat.

haiku_aubade · 06-09-2007, 05:35 AM

i use to have it horizontal but now i have a stand for it to be put vertical facing forward (showing the playstation wording) and love it... i always thought it looked more sleek vertical

MOONPHASE · 06-09-2007, 07:18 AM

horizontally because its in a cabinet thats full of other game systems plus with all of the controllers thats why with my ps3 controller i put it next to my tv remote because of it being a wireless controller and all so i didnt want to use up more space then i need to. but pretty soon ill get the ps3 cooler thats out now well im going to get the one for $35 not the one thats $40 so i can save a few bucks plus since i work at gamestop i get the discount.

In answer to your question......................the same way my wife and I enjoy sex when we're in the kitchen and just can't make it upstairs to the bedroom.

Hey I was wondering how warm your ps3 gets while its on? I have mine stood up right and the top of it gets really warm really fast. I have the attachable cooler with the extra fans that runs on it's on power source, but it makes a really loud noise and the when removed the top of the ps3 is still warm. I was wondering if I should be worried or if this is just normal for the playstation and the coolant system. Any help is appreciated.

babyBlu · 06-14-2007, 08:57 PM

PS3 standing vertically facing forwards is the coolest. You ain't cool unless you stand your PS3 vertically facing forwards

My PS3 runs a little warm but nothing to worry about. I can easily put my hand on the unit and have it not hurt. I don't have the attachable cooler and from what I heard, it is really not needed. That's just my opinion
