is it bad to have your ps3 standing up rather than sitting down?

I heard that having it standing up is better because it stops it from overheating or something.

Nah not really, just there is the danger of it falling thats pretty much it. If theres good air space around, your fine.

It's fine - most of the time it will have better ventilation that way, but I don't find the PS3 to be an easy system to overheat (knock on wood).

It really doesn't matter, although I found that if it's standing vertical it tends to stay a little cooler than horizonal.

It doesn't matter. Just make sure your ps3 is getting some air.

PS: I never stood mines up.
