Also, the ps3 isn't meant to be stood up? so what are those 4 rubber feet on the base of my ps3 for if its not meant to stand? as for 'sturdyness', do you guys stand your consoles on slanted desks?


lol, funny stuff
lol, the 360 was designed to be stood up? Have you ever placed it horizontal and stuck a disc in? I mean, seriously, taking the disc out 5 minutes later to find its been ripped to bits is hardly well designed and if you had one of the few that it worked with, then good

I didn't say it was 'well' designed, just designed

I've got one of the newer batches, which seems MS have resolved most of the issues?

The cd tray is designed to hold the disk vertically

I take it that a separate power supply is required? It would be extra-clever if it was USB-powered.

More info please!

Very cool, so where do we get one -- oh and do you get choice of LEDs or are they easy to swap out?

Hmmmm....I think you were too generous there Ed. These would be my scores:

Strength - 8. Very strong, seems to be able to withstand an awful lot

Looks - 6. It could've been white and fitted in with the wii, but at least it was free

Usability - 0. The worst part. My Wii is horizontal so the stand is still in it's box in the attic

General 'standyness' - 14/30.......a woeful 47% .
