I have a 360 which stands vertical, however i have heard recently that it shortens the life of your consol? i dont understand why though, i tried sitting it horizontal but it doesnt look as good and there isnt an awful lot of ventilation space, there is some but not alot. So is the vertical 360 deaths just stupid rumors or is there truth in the matter?

It depends. Some people have had their systems work better vertical, and others horizontal. Just leave it the way you like it, and if you have any trouble down the line, try changing its position before calling tech support.

I keep mine vertical and so far I only had one 3 red lights issue and I think that was related to my modem losing its network connection.

Im about to buy a 360 tomorow but I have used one before and I dont know how to horizontal it. I once tipped the 360 over (while on vertical) and it had all these twitching sounds and my CD never worked again. Come to think of it, Vertical is an awful idea. Dont do it :P
