Maybe the way I phrased it is a bit confusing, the top one is horizontal and the bottom one is vertical. I have always changed, sometimes vertically and sometimes horizontally, but Icve usually opted of horizontal even though I think that it looks better vertical. The reason that I do that is because one of my friends put up his PS2 vertically and all hais games kept getting stratched. he is my only firend who had it vertically, so Im not sure if his games getting scratched is due to the positioning of his PS2 or not.

 

[segasonic]

Vertically. The Xboxes take up all the space in my stereo rack...

 

[trmas]

My PSTwo is vertical, but the old PS2 I gave to the kids is laid out horizontal next to their TV.

 

[blahness]

mine has been vertical since i bought it and have had not one problem with scratches...

 

[AtomicShroom]

Horizontal ever since I bought it. Never had a problem. Didn't buy it at launch though.

 

[Doom_Bringer]

Horizontal

 

[Ristamar]

My PSTwo is horizontal. Seems only natural for a top loader.

 

[MightyHedgehog]

It depends on whether the game is having problems running or not. Sometimes, it's almost diagonally oriented (halfway between the two rest states)...especially if I'm trying to use a CD-based PS2 game.

 

[warthog]

Vertical. It has been like that from the start and no games got scratched because of it.

 

[soul.less]

My Japanese PS2 is currently sitting horizontally.

 

[MetalAlien]

After 5 years I fianlly had to lay it down, it finally won't play games standing up. I'll replace it one day and will stand it up again. To me that's how it was ment to be.

 

[SpoonyBard]

I kept it vertical for 1.5 years and it stopped loading games. I turned it horizontal and now it has been working pretty well for two years or so.

 

[Bauer Action Hour]

Vertical.

My first PS2 broke down twice due to DREs, which Sony fixed both times, before I finally traded it in towards the pro-scan model (w/ which I haven't had any issues).

 

[demi]

horizontal, sits right on top of my gamecube

i have a pstwo.

 

[demon]

When I had one, I had it horizontal.

 

[Foreign Jackass]

horizontal, sits right on top of my gamecube

i have a pstwo.

But then you can't load games in your Game.. oh I get it.

 

[Pedigree Chum]

My PSTwo is vertical. Takes up so little space next to my PC monitior (w/ TV out).

 

[DarienA]

I've played it in both positions over the years... currently it's back to the horizontal just because of where it is in our house right now.

 

[Solid]

Standard

 

[Duck of Death]

Vertical. The PStwo fits nicely in my small entertainment setup. I <3 joo, PStwo!

 

[Red Scarlet]

Horizontal. I keep thinking the disc is going to try to come out partway as I hit the close button and break in half if it's vertical.

 

[Idioteque]

horizontally

 

[Seth C]

Was horizontal for most of its life, but is now vertical on a shelf with the Dreamcast and Xbox. Its the only way I have room.

 

[goodcow]

But then you can't load games in your Game.. oh I get it.

:lol

 

[mr_sockochris]

Vertical for me

 

[Brandon F]

I have an erect PS2.

 

[soul.less]

Vertical for me

I have the same colored PS2 as you do. Did you get it as part of the Gran Turismo 4 Prologue bundle like I did, or buy it seperately?

 

[neptunes]

I thought I was the only one who had theirs vertical without the official stand.

Did anyone actually buy the stands?

 

[Kiriku]

Vertical - looks way better and makes it possible to fit both my GC and Xbox under the TV as well.

 

[Tabris]

Horizontal

 

[ArcadeStickMonk]

I had my PS2 vertical to save space, but when I switched to a PSTwo I set it flat; wasn't about to buy a stand.

 

[Joeholley]

Vert.

 

[Mac the KNife]

Horizontal PStwo

 

[Yusaku]

I want to know if anyone bought the $15 horizontal "stand." :lol

 

[Cold-Steel]

I put mine vertical, the PlayStation 2 was actually designed that way.

 

[Lionheart]

Horizontally, I've never placed it vertically.

 

[Crazymoogle]

I want to know if anyone bought the $15 horizontal "stand." :lol

Hey, don't mock my horizontal stand. It's the racing stripe of quality!

 

[captmcblack]

Horizontal 99% of the time.

Sometimes I put it vertical if I'm playing a PSX game on it. you know, for old time's sake.

 

[sammy]

I chunked $15 down for the little black circle..... and damn is it ever nice - the little bastard is so heavy it's as if it was made out of meteors.

Honestly one of the more quality purchases I've ever made, scale to its price - and the way it tightens in so snugg, nice! My PStwo doesn't wobble one bit.

If you're anal-retentive about your product's industrial-design, I can't reccomend it enough.

Yup, it's kinda picey but well worth it if you want to put your PSTwo in the vertical position. Very heavy base, I'm never worried about the system tipping over, no wobbling, nothing.

i think you're getting vertical and horizontal mixed up

 

[Uncle Dukey]

I've always kept it horizontal...

 

[Musashi Wins!]

vertical 4 life yo

 

[acidviper]

ps2 vertical
xbox horizontal
girl doggie

 

[BuckRobotron]

Vertical.

 

[snaildog]

Horizontal, cos I have my Gamecube sitting on top of it.

 

[Ronin]

Vertical.

 

[Bishman]

Horizontal

 

[radioheadrule83]

I always put the occasional DRE down to vertical position messing with my discs...

I had no basis for thinging that, but I did. Now the PStwo is eternally horizontal.
