Really? This is news to me. What pisses me off about having the PS3 (or the fat PS2 for that matter) vertical is that the disc comes out on the left-hand side of it so if you're right-handed you either have to contort yourself into weird shapes or suddenly become ambidextrous in order to fish the discs out. Weird design choice from a country where the vast majority of people (>99%) are right-handed.
if you were really serious about saving room and dissipating heat, you'd knock out a support structure behind the tv and build them straight into the wall then reseal it with contact cement or primer or someshit, heat no longer becomes an issue, in fact quite the opposite, as it helps insulate your house during these harsh winter times, with the money you save on heating costs both systems should pretty much pay themselves off within a few years!

I've been concerned about post quality in this forum for a while now, the replies in this thread have helped allay my fears. Well done.
RIP bargora, you will be greatly missed.That is how we do things on Giedion Prime.
Don't listen to the haters op. You stack those fuckers!
Also, if you plan on hooking up a sega cd unit make sure it goes on top and is plugged into the same power strip as the 360 ans PS3.
I await a photo...
If you can't manage to take a disk out of a fat PS2 or a PS3 while it is vertical using your left hand then please don't try anything that really requires skill.
I highly doubt that you don't actually have space. Things can always be rearranged to accomodate for more. Otherwise you oughtta just get some cardbboard boxes and pack away a bunch of stuff that just sets and collects dust, like books, papers, and other junk. Is there really anybody who doesn't own a bookshelf of some sort?

I'm a collector, but only to a certain extent.
Not as extreme as Rickstilwell though.[/quote]
Hence why I became ambidextrous.
I sometimes stack systems when it's logical to do so. For example, I have my US PS1 on top of my Japanese PS2. But stacking system that aren't flat, have vents that would be blocked, or are prone to overheating... err, no.
I always heard "digital press is filled with assholes" but never believed it. Now i do.
anyways, if you guys really want to see what i'm dealing with in terms of space, here ya go. You can see why i'd want to stack the ps3 and 360.

Well even though I am an asshole since I'm on Digital Press here is my advise.
Why not just place one or both in from of the tv? Or buy a small table to stick between the desk and tv stand and put one there?
You cant figure this out? You sir, suck at Tetris.
Take the DVDs or whatever cases are on the side open ends of the TV stand and put the where the xbox is. Put the Xbox vertically oriented on the right side so it can vent away from the unit. Put the Ps3 on the opposite open end. Done.
And that Xbox 1 is going to die a terrible death in that enclosed space. Get the 360 out of that enclosed space, fan shoots the hot air up and keeps it in that enclosure and sucks it up again on its left side.
While you are at it, take the factory stickers off the TV. Looks ridiculous like when people don't take the wrist strain warnings off keyboards.

Dude, please. You ought to see my room sometime. It's like half the size of that one.
I see absolutely nothing wrong with your current setup, but you're probably gonna have to live with just hooking up the one system (per television... there's a luxury I don't have) that you're actually playing. So if you wanna safely hook up a PS3 you'll have to simply unhook the X-Box 360 and put it away for awhile.
You might POSSIBLY be able to sit the PS3 directly in front of that big flatscreen you have there, depending on which model you have and if you don't mind the aesthetics. Or else hollow out the drawer below the 360 and put the PS3 there, but that means giving up a drawer, which you might be using for all I know.
Otherwise, I'm not sure what to tell you.
Don't worry, there is always room for one more. :wink:
I would second what Edmond said about removing the drawer.
Well, one redeeming quality that assholes have (which is often mistaken by mild mannered idiots as a vice) is calling it exactly as they see it.
No, I cannot see why someone would want to stack their consoles in that picture. Use that Feng Shui! Reconfigure! Be better!
Jimmy and Edmond are correct.
There are always some sitting patiently, waiting for the opportunity. (This is the internet you know.)
In fairness to those who were swinging at a bit of a softball pitch, your initial post was borderline farcical. I was going to post a squinting Philip J. Fry "not sure if serious" gif myself, but thought better of it once the dogpile started.
If you had shared the photo of the room and been more detailed/specific with your thought process, or just asked for suggestions on how to arrange your consoles in that space you probably wouldn't have attracted those looking to lay bricks in an asshole comedy-pyramid.
Don't let the asholes discourage you. If I had, I probably wouldn't have lasted a week.

You're bringing it upon yourself, in my opinion.
