Let's get vertical?
I've heard that If you have the PS2 set-up vertical for a long period of time, it wont work if you put it horizontal again... anyone heard anything like that before?

Yeah... I was going to get the vertical stand for it... it's because my new TV and it's new stand can't hold everything stacked up, but it'd fit perfect on the side vertically... I don't want to ruin it though!

My concern would be, How would you put in the disks if it's vertical without them falling out?

Theres a slight rim poking out on the disk tray, which catches on to the disk to prevent it falling out.
My PS2 has been standing verticle probably 98% of the time i have owned it, So ive never checked it horizontaly, but, as Dan said, its probably BS. Quote:

I've never put it vertical, but I did hear that there would be problems if you did have it on vertical.
Honestly, I prefer my PS2 to be horizontal so you can say I'm sort of biased to have it be vertical. |

Hmm... Have any of you with it vertical had problems with your games getting scratched badly, or at all?
I'm so paranoid. I think ill just do it and get it over with. |

No I have'nt, but I always have my ps2 vertical now, becuase my xbox is takes most of the space up, its not becuase its huge, (no bigger than a dvd player) its just that it cant be vertical for its SIZE. Ive seen the gamecube and they do look cute, very small too, so it wot take up to much space if I get one.

What I would suggest now is that you put your Playstation2 vertical than horizontal. Just buy a Vertical Stand. Trust me its much much better. There was a reason why Sony made Ps2 vertical stand optional. The lens read the DVD games and movies better this way.
If you experience a skip or certain errors in your normal DVD player, just make it vertical and the problem wouldn't occur again. Just like that Ps2 wouldn't have any problem at all if put vertically (For a longer period of time atleast) Apart from that, if you put your Ps2 vertically, all the dust that goes inside sits down, and as you can see the lense and where the CD trey is, would be on the top. Like that you Ps2 would get less dust on its lens. I always suggest people using the Vertical Stand. Its much better. And trust me nothing happens to it if you put it back on Horizontally, but Vertical is just better.

As has been said - the PS2 was designed to be stood vertically. Hence why SONY released a vertical stand, hence why the PSX logo rotates to suit your PS2 orientation and hence why most marketing pictures of PS2 show it vertical. You have nothing to worry about. You don't see photos of PSOne, XBox and so on vertical - but that's cos they weren't designed to - PS2 was. Besides, it just looks better when it's vertical! - S

I had mine vertical for a while....worked fine. And then the cat started walking into it for some reason. So I decided to leave it horizontal.

Oh.....I'm too late.
I heard about that "rumor" but it doesn't seem to be a rumor....when my PS2 didn't work a couple of months ago, I had to call Sony for help and the guy asked me if I had it horizontal then vertical. He told me that if you do that, your PS2 will break. The reason being is the parts and pieces inside are plastic and once it settles into the position, changing it would shift the parts and ruin the lens and other things. It ends up that my lens were just ruined (not due to position changing), but I've left mine vertical ever since I bought it and hearing that guy tell me that, I'm never changing the position of my PS2.
