question about how to place 360?

i am getting a xbox 360 for chrsitmas and i was wondering does it matter weither the xbox is vertical or horizontal because i don't want to get the RROD.

I always have mine horizontal for the same reasons as zaku101 mentioned. Having the console vertical leaves in venerable. A slight knock could scratch the disc or even send the 360 tumbling.

horizontal is the way to go! look at the vents on the xbox. If you put it vertical, it covers the largest vent.

I have mine horizontal on a laptop cooler (which is plugged into a nearby computer so it doesn't draw its power from the xbox)

The air blowing out the back doesn't even feel warm anymore...
