Hands on video, they specifically mention that it can't be stored vertical. Also, it is fucking huge and what an eye sore.

And for comparison, ps4 hands on

Since my PS3 occupies my main slot, my xbox stands next to my TV table like an outcast bastard child.

Since my PS3 occupies my main slot, my xbox stands next to my TV table like an outcast bastard child.

Microsoft deliberately shaped the Xbox such that it must occupy your main slot and cannot be put elsewhere. "Input One", mission accomplished.

 

[mrklaw]

I want my PS4 vertical but I'm worried about it venting out the rear. It looks quite deep and my cupboard doesn't have a huge amount of depth. My phat PS3 vented out the top when vertical so that was ok.

I need to find my damn top. x_x

Xbox One has ventilation on all its sides, it must be used horizontal...

Woah, that's actually really cool, and also really handy. Always wanted to get a closer look at those "fat" triggers.

RE: Banderaception

LOL WTF is going on with all the genius gif's today!

 

[Madness]

Theres a matte black S360!??

What?

My S360 stands tall and proud, I'm not worried about disc scratching since I install all my games anyways.

My slim PS3 however lays flat...it just doesn't look right standing up.

Pretty sure after the first year, all slims became matte.

 

[boinx]

I don't really have enough space on my desk to keep my consoles in horizontal position so vertical 4lyfe.

Edit: Btw do you really have to get the stand for the PS4 to keep it in the vertical position?

OMG :lol:

 

[Matt2thefuture]

I always did vertical because I heard it was better for the games and systems.....

 

[kami_sama]

It's the opposite actually. In vertical the chances for the disc to become unreadable are greater.

 

[DieH@rd]

Only with X360.... PS3 did not have that issue [I and many of my friends use PS3 in vertical position, never a one problem].

 

[Matt2thefuture]

That's what I'm reading now which makes sense but a couple years back a bunch of people all use to say airflow is better vertical..awe well I guess new gen I'll go horizontal.

360S also had vents on the bottom. You could still stand it up.

Made a small revision for better looping. Also, no motion-blur version:

 

[Majanew]

I'm not happy Xbox One can't be placed vertically. My PS3 and 360 were placed vertically. Standing on both sides of my big Pioneer receiver. My Xbox One might have to sit on top of my receiver and I'm not happy about that at all.

And the gifs littering a lot of threads is very annoying.

Holy Shit, its beautiful!

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Well, thats a real concern. See my desktop:

As you see, i have not enough space for horizontal, but at the same time on vertical... it can be risky. Even worst because i have a two years old kid. But my 360 was there during 2 years and nothing happened.

Could you not move the right mini-speaker so its touching the sticker on what looks like the main speaker in front of the monitor, and have the console stood vertically on top of the main speaker?

How about just shifting the Screen and the left stereo speakers a little bit to the left and put the box between the subwoofer and the now empty space. If one of your small speakers fall that would be a lot less of a problem. And the console would be protected against tipping over by the subwoofer and the screen.

And the follow up:

I cannot fathom the creation of this. GAF doesn't disappoint.

 

[dark_prinny]

EDGE: Xbox One doesn't even lift.

my sides, oh my god.

Here is PS4 version if you want to look its details.

 

[ASTROID2]

Unless there's some sensor in the Xbox one that stops it from functioning when vertical then yes it can be vertical.

[Skeff]

As well as no vertical orientation, the design does not allow for stacking either. Difficult for those with limited media center space

 

[Facism]

these banderes gifs. I cannot get enough.

 

[qa_engineer]

Total thread derailment: imminent

Engage neogaf gif mode.

 

[Deleted member 10571]

I dunno about that spot. These things are pretty big (As close as I imagine it will look)

I kinda want a "GAF show your desks" thread now

edit: done

Carry on.

 

[juxtapose]

How about a follow up to the follow up?

Holy hell, man. Nice work.

40MB but the hoops I went through to get it this size...

AFAIC XBox One could only fit on the floor, which will get me an irrevocable no go from my wife.

Just when I thought this couldn't get any better...

 

[Mobius and pet octopus]

I use horizontal. No risk of accidentally knocking it over. Safety first!

Vertical always, especially with the PS4.

This was Microsoft's PR repsonse.

“Designed as a premium entertainment system that is aesthetically at home in the living room, the console is intended to sit horizontally. Additionally, the airflow and venting system was optimized for this horizontal orientation.”

To me that sounds like place it vertically at your own risk.

Woah, pressing buttons is stone age tech

 

[DieH@rd]

40MB but the hoops I went through to get it this size...

By the gods!

 

[lunchtoast]

No, my center doesn't have the setup for vertical consoles. I used to stand my phat ps3 up only because it was getting too hot inside the entertainment center.

 

[SolidChamp]

I had a bad experience with my PS2 standing vertically. It killed the disc drive.

 

[ecurbj]

And the follow up:

How about a follow up to the follow up?

OMG. I literally laughed a good solid 5 minutes because of this. Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

Also, I keep my consoles horizontal. I was never a fan of the vertical stance.

Amazing

Thanks. I like it better with the motion blur, though. It's just that you can't quite make her out with it:

Kotaku article on the subject came out today. Who's going to put the XBox One on it's side "at their own risk?" Might as well just say "Don't."
