Xbox posistion?

Well it's always big with XBOX fans, what way do you keep your XBOX and why?

I've had mine vertical until I got a RROD but my Xbox was 3 years old I believe. What way is better I've had my elite sense 3/13/9 and I've had it vertical should I keep horz?

I don't think keeping your xbox vertical or horizontal have anything to do with RROD. I keep mine horizontal.

X2 it has to deal with the something over heating and it would do it either way. Some of the RROD where from using it online. I have mine for sale and vertical.

It is the GPU that is over heating. I do like the old fashion missionary style

RROD, sucks but I've been reading and I called MS as well as other people they said there is no wrong or right way to put it, but then again spending 400 bucks for an elite would suck if it gets RROD.

I keep Vertical because it looks better and I feel better airflow... but then again MS says either way works... hmm

I have gone through 2 XBOX's. one was a a RROD and the other kept giving me one red light even when they repaired it so they replaced it. all mine sit vertical. I know what you dont want to do it is move while it is reading a disc or spinning once because apparently that will mess it up some how according to Microsoft. My cuurent one has already given me problems I hate microsoft

i have a 1st gen xbox 360. keep it horizontal, and piled on top of my subwoofer, and there's a whole bunch of clutter around me. only one RROD since i got it. not bad, eh?

granted...any RROD should be ridiculous with new tech like an XBOX 360...bleh.

ODST coming out soon!

So do you think I should be fine VERT

I have my PS3 sitting horizontal, but that's because I have an intercooler on it.

9 processors get hot, and they need their airflow.

Well it is 9 but you are correct in that only 6 of the SPE's are accessible to game developers. One big one and 8 bitty ones
