Ok. I do NOT keep my PS2 upright because it "looks better." Whether you choose to dust the console or not, it does have an overheating problem. I had to throw out the last PS2 after 10 months because it wouldn't work anymore. It used to get extremely hot. So I tried this and keeping it upright. No more overheating AT ALL. For the money I spent for the console I can put a few more bucks into something that makes it last longer. It is an easy solution. And it is not as easy to knock over as one would think. I have 3 rambunctious boys (one a climbing toddler),a hyper dog and 3 cats who think the top of the entertainment center is their playground. It has not been knocked over even ONCE yet. Give it a try...

To me this gimmick is the equivalent of that little robot that came with the game "Gyromite" for the 8bit nintendo! I mean,what real useful purpose does it serve to own a vertical stand?

You mean to tell me it's just TOOO much of a hassel to lay the ps2 flat on a coffee table in front of the tv or something? And tell me,how does it prevent the ps2 from getting knocked over? Maybe I was just never good at physics,but wouldn't something standing upright have more of a chance of getting knocked over as opposed to something that lays flat??

Also,look at how dvd players and cd players are made;look at the cd rom drive on your computer!How is it aligned?The discs all go in flat!How many people do you know that own a vertical dvd player??

The whole speel about it "helps" to keep your ps2 from overheating is just a big load!All you have to do is dust around the area of your ps2 to keep dust out of the vents.Why would any rational,logical person would want to spend X amount of money for a hunk of plastic? Becuase it makes the ps2 look cooler??Ugh...save your money and buy something like...oh,I don't know.. A GAME?Or maybe a memory card,or the dvd remote or anything else that is actually worthwhile!
