Xbox 360 vertical or Horizantal?

I just saw this on the top right corner on Gamespot when I was logging in. http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/xbox360/qna/927749.html?qid=21777

So how do you keep you 360? I have mine horizontal.

I keep mine horizontal its safer.

Horizontal, much safer

Vertical. Just because I like it better that way. There really is no better way it's just what you prefer. But if there was a problem with a position I would say horizontal is the problem. the DVDs pretty much sit on the reader possilby causing scratching.

Mine is horizontal.I predict most of the answers about 90% will be horizontal.

I used to go vertical but one time when i swung my leg to get on the couch, i kicked it. Ruined the game, console is fine. Now i always go horizontal.

Horizontal. Less chance to get knocked over, games in the tray are safer, and most importantly, it has a larger ventilation surface - heating it less.

Horizontal, I've messed up 3 of my CoD4's having it vertical, and not to mention my Fallout 3 not to long ago (thank god I got it cleaned!)

I keep mine horizontal. After all the horror stories I've read I don't wanna risk it. However even laying horizontal I have had one game scratched cause my brother got pissed and yanked on my charger cable and put 3 nice rings around my COD: 4 disk :/

Horizontal. After my copy of Star Wars: TFU almost got broke in half, I switched it.

I have mine vertical. It heats up alot on the side it lays on when it's horizontal.

Horizontal with little stick on foot things to keep it off the shelf it sits on. Maximum airflow.

Vertical. Just because I like it better that way. There really is no better way it's just what you prefer. But if there was a problem with a position I would say horizontal is the problem. the DVDs pretty much sit on the reader possilby causing scratching.

yep. i used to have mine horitzal and all my discs were scratching. changed it to vertical and the problem was gone

Horizontal, have not had any problems yet, other than 1 preventable RRoD from plugging it into a power cord instead of the wall socket. And another RRoD because california is too hot.

Horizontal

Both my 360 and PS3 are horizontal and my Wii is vertical. It just fits perfectly in my setup.

Hori for me :) not a problem, and i havnt come across any scratched disks.....its the same as putting them in your computer O_o fancy that?

I have mine Vertical at my dorm because there is no room for it to be horizontal. But when I'm at my house or a friends house it's horizontal. I have yet to notice a difference in the Xbox when in both positions.

I normally take any disk recieving device like a CPU. So i'll say, have it where the disk tray is facing normal in this case Horizontal. lol I'll be damned if my Mac's disk tray was vertical.lol

You should change the position if you're leaving it vertically for heating reasons. General recomendation to leave it horizontally, since the largest ventilation surface is the bottom part (the gray grid is all holed).

I've had mine sitting Vertically since I got it & haven't had a single scratched disc. Sitting in a grated stand so airflow is around entire console regardless of which way it is.

Horizontal but propped up off the table. It now has about 3-4 inches underneath - stays really cool. :)

Thank you for Vertical vs. Horizontal thread #5,623.DJ_Magneto

Hmmmm, you find these posts a waste of time so you make a clever response.

You do realize you bumped his thread in doing this right?

Horizontal, it's supposedly less of a risk for disc-scratching. And my 360's disc drive is shot to crap anyway, being vertical wouldn't help.Floppy_Jim

Are we still talking about Xbox positions or... ;)

Anyways, mine is Hori.
