do you really need to ask this question?

if you have a rectangular based object like an xbox 360, which do you think would be more secure?

laying it upright where its weight falls on its area where it's narrow, or laying it flat where its weight is distributed on its base?

yeah i'd like to know about this too, i just recently got a 360 today (it's waiting for me at home while i'm at work) and i don't have too much experience with xbox's at all.
