Vertically stand Xbox One at your own risk. PS4 can be connected to it

actually, it might not be total BS stat. I had a MS poll show up in email at one point, and that was a question on it. This was before the X1 announcement.
Annoying that Panello just keeps making these technically wrong statements.
As pointed out, slot loading drives can be vertical.
MS just needs to STFU or something.

maybe it isn't the drive? maybe another device? the fan, the hdd?
I know, all of these should be ok as well.
Hell for all we know, it could be purely structural and they don't like things hanging, and prefer them to rest flat.
I've had my 360 vertical on a penguin fan stand(I don't use the fan) because I like the look. However, the first Xbox was horizontal only, so no big deal.
No, they're saying they didn't build the drive to hold a disk securely in vertical, and the prevailing esthetic this gen for Microsoft is the set top DVR look.
He's not saying slot loading trays can't be vertical, he said they used a slot loading tray and only designed it to be horizontal.
Sounds like a classic case of mis-using the term OCD
I don't need therapy bro, just like to keep my shiz looking right.Dat cohesiveness:
He specifically used the word "because."

Slot loading drive has nothing to do with whether a design can or can't be vertical. He's throwing excuses around when all he needs to say is that they didn't design or test for vertical use.

Look at the way the front of all 3 consoles (or whatever they are) line up perfectly... and the way that keyboard lines up perfectly with the edge of your table... and don't even get me started on those tribal masks!!! OCD, OCD, OCD. Denial only makes it worse

lol
The thing on the left is the Alienware X51, followed by the 360 in the middle, with the PS3 to the right.
I'm inclined to believe, since you live in Washington, and you have all that crap in such an incredibly nice looking living room, that you are filthy f***ing rich.
Oh and 2 of those 3 devices are slot loaded
I'm comfortable
Have one for PS3 too, it's on the charger stand thing on the side table.

They planned it for use as a AV rack like component. Most people do not stand their Amp and DVR's on their side. They stack them.
Complaining about it means you should take it up with all AV equipment manufacturers. Regardless, they are all designed for top up heat dissipation.

now that is a setup folks, mine is coming soon!Sounds like a classic case of mis-using the term OCD

looks Beautiful, but Verizon has new black boxes that look much nicer. That is a Fios cable box right?Sounds like a classic case of mis-using the term OCD

No that's a Motorala DVR that Comcast also uses (among others.) Been waiting forever for their X1 system to come to Seattle, read about it around the time I really wanted to switch my DVR out and it's only just recently come to Seattle.
Getting one installed next Saturday + the separate cable box for the bedroom that I can share DVR stuff with.
It's a lot nicer looking.
You are twisting his words. He didn't say, it's vertical because it has a slot loading tray, he said they didn't design the slot loading tray they are using to be vertical. Not all slot loading trays are necessarily going to be support both horizontal and vertical.
Yes, that will look much better. Regardless, you have a beautiful setup. Is that the sub under the table?No that's a Motorala DVR that Comcast also uses (among others.)

I'm really not twisting anything. It's what the words mean. The only reason he gave besides the vague "just" was the slot loading drive.
It was an unnecessary and false embellishment to his statement.
I'm not crying about it, it has no affect on any purchase decision I'd make, but I won't claim to like being "fast talked." And that's exactly what that type of statement boils down to.
Yup it's the subwoofer. It's only a 5.1 setup, my rear speakers are properly mounted above and to the left and right of the sweet spot.
My girlfriend is responsible for most of how it looks, other than the electronics themselves.
And she's the one who keeps everything all perfectly straight, lol.. no OCD here trust me.

Nah man those beer mats or whatever to the left of the keyboard are skew-whiff, he can't have OCD.
(unless he moved them deliberately just for the pic to hide his OCD, hmmm)

See no need for the One to be vertical. It will fit nicely over my cable box and will blend In with my other audio/video equipment.
