My brother just got my daughter a series X as a gift. This one is going down stairs in the front room next to her Switch. I have mine upstairs in my office but it's horizontal due to space. Does having it vertical make it any better or is it for pure looks? I rather horizontal anyway so dust doesn't accumulate to much. I'm undecided how to position the one for my daughter.

 

[teezzy]

Own both. Both vertical

 

[kruis]

PS5? Horizontal. Less chance of tipping over, it's also less obtrusive that way.

 

[The ninja farmer]

I have it lying horizontally as it fits my space better and looks kinda cool

Tried it vertically and although that works as well, it made my tv look small !!!!

 

[The Fartist]

Vertical, but only because it sits nicely behind my TV and stays out of site, so when I have people over I don't look like a huge fucking nerd

Kinda the same but then everything else around my living room still screams nerd.

PS I have a series s behind the TV and two PC's to the side.

Spoiler: Nerd image

My Series X is about 1 inch too wide to fit horizontally on my gaming shelf, so it stands vertically at the back of my TV. Ironically, the heffa PS5 fits snuggly in a horizontal position on said shelf. Feng Shui does not exist in this dojo.

Vertical, doesn't gather as much dust and a smaller footprint on my desk. The Series S looks fantastic stood up. My PS5 looks like a ginormous erect penis towering over everything in my bedroom, even eclipsing my wardrobe.

 

[MidGenRefresh]

Vertical. PS5 hidden behind the TV because it's ugly.

 

[The Shepard]

Both PS5 and Series X vertical. They look nasty horizontal.

 

[THE DUCK]

PS5 Vertical (used to have it horizontal but had to move it), one Series X horizontal, the other Vertical due to the stand it's in. Both seem A-OK in either orientation. Think both generally look better vertical.
Keep the series S vertical. Nice little machine, I just wish they had made the black circle white.

I have 3 cats and a toddler.
Anything that can topple will be toppled.
Horizontal.

 

[bad guy]

Diagonal, best of both worlds.

The black tower of Barad-dûr is vertical as its dark power dictates.

Particular space constraints forced Minas Tirith to extend itself horizontally to avoid it tipping over and falling. The gaze of Spencer from his dark tower is always fixed upon it, so I have to be careful .

 

[Imtjnotu]

PS5 mounted to the wall vertically

 

[NeonGhost]

Series X vertical and the ps5 horizontal

 

[Mr Hyde]

PS5 is vertical standing on the floor. I very much like the design of it standing up, the black and white coloring match the look of my entertainment center, but when it lays horizontal it looks like a beached whale with albinism. It's crazy something as beautiful as the PS5 can look so fucking ugly by just tipping it over.

 

[Heisenberg007]

Diagonal, of course.

PS5 is standing vertical. That's how it is meant to be.

 

[Lasha]

Both my PS5 and XSS are vertical behind their respective displays. The PS5 came with a stable stand. The XSS has little rubber feet which keep it from wobbling too much. I enjoy the smaller footprint provided by the vertical layout.

 

[Ceadeus]

PS5 vertical. It touches the ceiling

 

[CeeJay]

XSX vertical at the side of the TV unit next to my subwoofer. Considering it's just a square box imo it's the best looking console i've owned.

 

[The_Mike]

Any chance it's a ps5 since you are so eager to hide the design?

 

[Soosa]

PS5 Vertical on floor, SXS horizontal on TV stand. PS5 takes too much space when horizontal and looks bit weird, and series x takes bit too much space when it is vertical (I could keep it on the floor, but it looks weird there, unlike my NOVA PINK ps5)

 

[dreamstation]

PS5 is horizontal.

 

[GymWolf]

Who the fuck keeps their ps5 vertically??

 

[tommib]

Vertical PS5 on the floor and I barely see it:

 

[Bernd Lauert]

XSX vertical, it's the tower of power, not a thick brick.

If I had a PS5, I'd place it horizontally. If a vertical PS5 falls over, it could cause a 7.5 magnitude earthquake. Dangerous!

 

[ecentre]

PS5 vertical.

 

[drganon]

Ps5 horizontal

I am switching between both all 4 weeks

 

[b0uncyfr0]

Does the PS5 even work well, horizontally..?

I have my XSX vertically - hidden behind the TV for a clean-ish look.

 

[The Fartist]

It's not the design I'm trying to hide, I actually like the PS5s design.

 

[xrnzaaas]

I have my PS5 vertical but that's an exception because this monster won't fit on my shelf horizontally.

 

[tommib]

this monster won't fit.

 

[Sosokrates]

Ps5 horizontal and XSX vertical.

 

[MightySquirrel]

Ps5 horizontal and XSX vertical.

Prob best way to reduce fan noise.

 

[MadPanda]

When I had PS5 it was vertical, now series x is vertical too.

 

[kyliethicc]

PS5 DE vertical as the designer intended.

 

[M1987]

PS5 horizontal,XSX vertical

 

[waquzy]

PS5 horizontal, it wouldn't fit vertically in the TV stand

 

[Banjo64]

PS5 DE vertical as the designer intended.

The scaling on that image looks well wildly inaccurate. I've fixed it for you;

 

[RoboFu]

Everything hidden away from the sight of decent people.

 

[crackajack]

PS5 vertical. It touches the ceiling

for some reason I had to think of


I have not seen one in person, but PS5 horizontal looks just weird and even more wobbly than erect. I assume I will do vertical this time, unless the hopefully soon slim looks different.

 

[tommib]

You should add a human between the controller and the PS5 and a 1:1 scale as a footnote but I don't know how your photoshop is these days.

You've already seen the peak of my powers sadly

 

[skit_data]

Vertical PS5 DE.

I usually keep my consoles horizontal but the PS5 looks so wierd horizontal. It looks better standing vertically, especially the Digital Edition.

 

[Damigos]

Horizontal
I cant imagine dropping it for whatever reason

 

[RoadHazard]

Vertical PS5 on my media cabinet which is on the floor below my TV. Looks good and matches the general color scheme in my living room (mostly white and light oak, with some black electronics). But once I get a larger TV (which is the plan) this won't work anymore, because then the TV will be about as wide as the media cabinet, so there will be no room for the PS5 next to the TV like there is now.

 

[CherryFalls]

Horizontal of course
