parts of it.

damn, now i have to move my couches around to fit the X1 horizontally.

kingoflife9

i'd have to buy a new house so i'm not going to get one.

If it's not airflow related...chewing on discs is confirmed to be back?...sound like a rushed console...again...

:lol:

How have the lems been owned? I don't get it?

I find this a little disappointing, I usually have my consoles all vertical, but that said, the X1 is far chunkier and looks more at home being horizontal this time, and is such a shape that I will be able to stack stuff on it anyway.

When you get the manual it will strictly state to not place the console vertically. If you do not follow instructions. That is on you. Take some responsibility.

[QUOTE="APiranhaAteMyVa"]Lol at lems who thought the smaller design of the PS4 would make it problematic. The Xbone can't even be put vertically showing their shoddy design and build quality, enjoy another gen of scratched disk and RROD lems. At least this time the superior quality of the Sony designed Bluray disk will be more scratch resistant. Thank you Sony for supplying Microsoft with some quality for their shoddy console.JohnF111

And so am I.

This is a really really lame thread. ITS THE END OF THE WORLD COS THE XBOX ONE CANNOT GO ON ITS SIDE.tdkmillsy

This just in, no one cares!

I don't see the problem really, this is nitpicking tbh. The console was designed to sit horizontally. Not being able to stand vertically is the LEAST of its "problems".

Nobody bitched when the PS3 couldn't be used vertically.percech

I'm confused, all the PS3's can be used vertically, aside from the super slim, which, while it can't out of the box, can be stood vertically with a stand.

Panello revealed to GameSpot at the Tokyo Game Show, "We don't support vertical orientation; do it at your own risk." He clarified that "it wouldn't be a cooling problem, we just didn't design the drive for vertical. Because it's a slot loading drive, we just didn't design it for both".

The Xbox One isn't the only system to feature a slot loading drive; both the PlayStation 3--original and slim models--and PlayStation 4 have a similar design, and users are free to orient those consoles horizontally or vertically without risking damage to the console.

Panello stated that Microsoft discovered that "we found, interestingly enough, that 80 percent of people, believe it or not, have their Xbox [360] horizontally".

The Xbox One is scheduled for launch in North America, most European markets, Australia, and New Zealand on November 22 this year, with follow-up releases in Japan and the remaining European markets in 2014.Kaz_Son

:lol: TLHBO. XBone is a fragile disc scratching POS confirmed

Are you stupid or what? :lol:

I never put my game consoles vertical, hence I've never had any issues with my disks being scratched on any Xbox system. Same goes for the Playstation systems. Well the PS1 had to be put vertical and upside down, so I did get a few scratches with that system, but it didn't kill any of my disks thankfully.

I believe Microsoft gave this same warning with the Xbox 360 system. Said it wouldn't be wise to put the console vertical, because if you bumped it while a disk was spinning it could be scratched. My son's friend did this like an idiot and accidentally knocked his 360 over while the disk was spinning in it. The game got jammed in the system really bad. The DVD tray wouldn't even come out. Those fools opened the console up and you could see the game lodged in the drive. They got the Halo game out, but it was scratched to hell. I don't even know if the system still worked or not. I was laughing my @ss off though. Heed the warnings. :lol:

PS2 and PS3 could be stood vertically, I don't know why you're bringing up the PS1, a system that launched almost 20 years ago lol. :lol: The XB1 is a fragile POS that scatches discs confirmed and not even your lame damage control can change that.

Maybe it just wasnt designed that way? I dont see the issue. PS3 and 360 were designed to stand up but they were extremely fragile while standing. How is this any different?navyguy21

Still have a working 360 from dec 2005 that has been placed horizontally and never got any problems with it other than the disc tray. Only morons would even attempt to put it vertically XxR3m1xInHDn3D

That's what I'm saying. The first 6 generations of game consoles were ALL Horizontal. Who the hell wants to put it vertical? I've never had an issues finding room for my game consoles to lay flat on a shelf or platform. I would never want this beast of a system to be vertical so it can tip over. Same with the PS4. Why would I out that system vertical so it can tip over? :lol: :lol: It's just dumb. I never understood vertical stands. I guess the Wii was ok, but I even got rid of that stand as well.

[QUOTE="navyguy21"][QUOTE="Kaz_Son"]The 360 maybe but defintely not the PS3. I've had both a PS3 Phat and Slim since 2006 and 2011 respectively and I stood them vertically with no problems. No one I knew complained about their PS3's scratching discs or acting funny when stood vertically.Kaz_Son

Dudem your a bias trolling cow. You keep embarrassing yourself every time you start a thread. This crap isn't even new. If you put a disc in the PS4 and have it vertical and it fall over on it's side, let me know if that disk doesn't get f*** up or not. :lol:

I never understood why people put their systems vertical to begin with. :roll:

In any case, as least M$ is telling people about it. Sony won't. They'll wait until someone f*** up their disk and then blame it on the user. :roll: :lol:

[QUOTE="locopatho"][QUOTE="Kaz_Son"]Debatable. The launch lineup for XB1 has been mediocre so far in my eyes. Forza is the only game that looks like it will be decent.Kaz_Son
