Post Do you have your PS2 on its side?

Apparently, according to my friend who had his PS2 standing on its side, it was designed so you could put it both ways. I had heard rumors but no proof. Now I want to find out how many of you actually have it on its side.

Duh, they even made a stand to do it. Did you ever wonder why the CD tray has slots on one side? It's so the CD doesn't fall out when you put it in while the PS2 is on it's side.

Kthxbye.

And no I don't.

I've been told that standing it on its side without the stand can damage the lens.

If you have it on the side, make sure it's perfectly level or you'll wear out the lens.

Standing PS2 vertically is bad for it however. After extended playing, it can damage the reader in the PS2.

actually, sooner or late you will have to but it in its side (at least thats how it works with the older ones) my buddy had it flat for some time, then for some reason it couldnt even recognize it and it said insert disk, or no disk. And then some relative suggest to flip it over (just like the original playstation) and it works

this is how it is;
first it is either flat an or to the side
then it would be ...the opposite; if it was flat then go to the side , if to the side, then make it flat.
then if it STILL doent work, flip it backwards 9we are not on this stage yet, but i believe we will soon go there

its weird but thats how to maximize the usage of that darn thing

Woah... I just realized that the whole tiem I was looking at this I registered "on it's side" as being horizontal... mine is vertical and I think of that as the right way to do it since it makes PS1 game work better.

That's certainly true, only company that makes "Tough" consoles/platforms is nintendo. Seriously, have you EVER seen a platform more durable then a freaking gameboy? You know, one of those old ones. You could drop those 20 feet, then roll them across the road and they work fine. I heard someone rolled their Gamecube down the highway, all it ended up with was a few cracks and alot of scratches, but it still ran games like any other one did. I think the handle snapped off the back though, not sure.

My ps2 is horizontal because it's collecting dust.
