"Finally the world actually seems to be revolving around me"

Upwrong?
The temporary loss of my XBox 360 has led me to contemplate one thing that has always puzzled me about how people have their machine. Why do people stand their XBox 360's upright and not have them lying flat?
The XBox 360 doesn't have a slot loading drive like the Nintendo Wii or your MacBook Pro. It has a tray that opens and closes.
Why, I mean ... why would you stand it upright?

Ring of Fire
A moment of silence please ...
... thank you.
My XBox 360 finally fell victim to the Red Ring of Death. I knew when I bought the XBox 360 and took pictures inside that it didn't have the new heatsink or whatever. Each day I had with the XBox 360 was a little gift. And so now, the XBox 360 will have to be sent back to be repaired by MSFT.
As it happens, I was in the middle of shredding Through The Fire and the Flames on Hard. I was getting about 83% of the way through the song before epic FAIL! and this time through, when the XBox 360 RRoD'd, I think I was pretty on. I'm convinced the machine at that point became self-aware, knew I would finally best TTFaTF, and executed its self-destruct sequence.
Either that or crappy hardware
