It just seems like consoles weren't meant to stand up.

Depends on the model tbh, but I mean the Xbox x was def designed to stand up lmao the fans literally at the top

Yes but you still have to insert the disc sideways. Thats annoying and inconvenient. The only console that should be standing up is a desktop PC in my opinion. It does not fall over and you can insert a disk the normal way.

Insert the disk sideways? Yeah? Like some PC’s and the wii, i don’t see a problem there, I’ve been doing it for ages, cuz whenever you get a shelf you have to put consoles on their side to fit. Not rlly a problem as long as you know which way to put em in

Someone seems to forget that the PS2 launched 23 years ago, was usually displayed standing up, and even the PS logo on the disc drive was rotatable by 90° so it was orientated correctly when stood up.
THEY_CALL_ME_FACE OP t1_jbsbgep wrote
The rotating logo was just an option. It does not necessarily mean the console was meant to be stood upright.
FunkinDonutzz t1_jbse0kg wrote
What sort of dumb logic is that? I could just as easily say it wasn't meant to be laid flat.
THEY_CALL_ME_FACE OP t1_jbsfm03 wrote
You're the one with the dumb logic who suggested it was meant to be stood up right due to the pictures and rotating logo. All i said was that is not always the case. Only Sony can confirm if it was created to lay flat or upright.
FunkinDonutzz t1_jbsgpzt wrote
So they just put a rotating logo on it and released an official vertical stand for the LOLs? What about the plethora of PS2 Slim packaging that shows the console stood upright?
You're also more than welcome to peruse the instruction manual and read the section detailing that you can position the console horizontally or vertically.. It even details the fact you can rotate the logo! Almost as if they planned for it to be stood upright...

"Almost as if they planned for it to be stood upright"... Is that an official confirmation from Sony? No. You just made yourself look like a fool 😃
FunkinDonutzz t1_jbsicra wrote
So in the INSTRUCTION MANUAL that I linked you missed the section that says "you can position the console horizontally or vertically", so yes, that is in fact official confirmation from Sony.
What was that about making yourself look like a fool 😀
THEY_CALL_ME_FACE OP t1_jbtbpz5 wrote
I know the manual says "you can position the console horizontally or vertically" but you did not confirm if the PS2 was created to be an upright console from the very beginning.
"For example Sony might say "The PS2 can be be stood upright, but it was created as a flat console from the beginning because upright can scratch the disk or cause the console to fall over"
FunkinDonutzz t1_jbtyp7b wrote
So the manufacturer explaining in the fucking instruction manual that it can be stood up somehow isn't confirmation that it was designed to be stood up? You also ignored it being stood up in the 1999 reveal.
It's also no more likely to scratch a disc than when horizontal, and the vertical stand was also shown at the reveal.
Don't reply further, because I am done wasting my time replying to your idiocy.

Hello? Anybody Home?
What I'm saying is can you confirm that the designer said "im going to create a console, it will be specifically a stand up console, my first concept drawing of the console will be of it standing up"
(well all know the console can be stood up but thats probably because Sony decided to include the vertical stand afterwards)
FunkinDonutzz t1_jbualwj wrote
The vertical stand was shown before the console released.

What the fuck does any of this matter? You still seem completely fucking Ignorant to the fact that yes, yes someone designed it to be standing up.

You couldn't understand or confirm anything in the end and made yourself look like a fool lol 😃
Im outta here. Peace✌️

It's literally the instruction manual, therefore confirming it, you cast-iron moron.

Oh sweet titty-fucking Christ above, you're not wrong. One of those people that has a brainfart and decides to post it on Reddit.
I also loved "I want to play a modern game like Streets of Rage online"... I dunno, maybe consider Streets of Rage 4 lol.

On god, that guy has to be clowning. I think their point collapsed into "if the first draft wasnt presented as standing then it shouldn't" but that makes no sense anyways... Can't believe you give him hard evidence and its blatantly disregarded, like this thread is literally the Patrick star meme. Good luck surviving the migraine that this part of the internet is

I have ps2 and 3.
mind you they are lying down now, since I have more room, but other then that I have always had them standing. plus it looked cooler.
But it wears on the disc trays.
If you don't have a disc tray, then it's fine.
That's why many xbox 360's would stop reading disc unless they were laying down.
​
Simple oversight I suppose
Vinconex t1_jbrjcxy wrote
Back in the day consoles had two positions, upright and laying down it was touted as a "new standard" on the Americas but was a common thing in Japan.
In the Americas however they just used the same or even cheaper parts for the standup consoles so tue bottom (lol literally sometimes) fell out of the market and users felt that laying down was the better idea(bit nobody decided to reinforce the top to be able to hold a few pounds cuz we all pit stuff on top didn't we lol)
Tldr: Americas are too cheap to provide decent hardware
THEY_CALL_ME_FACE OP t1_jbqk2jt wrote
Wow. I never knew that a console standing up wears out a disk tray and causes it to stop reading disks. I will never stand up another console again and to be honest I will probably never purchase another console that uses CD's. I will just stick to digital consoles from now on to avoid disk problems period.
No_need_for_that99 t1_jc26ex2 wrote
Well, the disc trays were created on machines intended to lie down... the standing up part was simply a niche feature.... But the trays were never reinforced to be used at that angle.
But most PS3, Wii, Wii U, Xbox one and later are fine because they have no disc trays.
Makes sense when you think about, the plastics trays are flimsy in most cases. Not like Computer based Disc trays which are solid plastic and made for any orientation

I once put a disc into my 360 standing upright when I was younger and it was scratched beyond repair.... all because of seeing an upright standing console on tv or something
Cold_Kitsune t1_jc1au0v wrote
Look, a big factor is space management and presentation, and in addition to that, horizontal consoles encourage ppl to put things on them like monitors or games that can cause heating or ventilation issues. I prefer horizontal disk trays to vertical personally but there's not a big issues, they both still work.
You honestly just need to think what functions better, looks better for photography and what it's designed to sit like. Also, common sense is applicable
THEY_CALL_ME_FACE OP t1_jbp12k8 wrote
For example the Playstation 2,3,4,5. It's hard to insert a disc and the console falls over in general.
zomenis t1_jbugqb5 wrote
That's just not true lmao.
The PS5 even ships with a damn vertical stand
