Yes, The PS4 Can Stand Vertically--Without Help

Kotaku writes " You keep asking, so we're going to answer. The PS4, like the fat PS3 and Xbox 360 before it can stand without a stand. "

I'd still get the stand. it makes it look aesthetically pleasing. I still have my PS2 fat with the official stand and that thing looks sweet in the upright position.

$15 for the stand? Wow... and it still wobbles with some pressure (albeit not as much).

Never been a vertical person myself, this bad boy will sit horizontally on my TV stand when I do get one.

EDIT - am I getting disagrees because I am placing the console horizontally? Or because I said that even placed vertically with the stand it still moves with a little bit of pressure applied? I am merely repeating what was demonstrated in the video. I was suggesting that the $15 stand wasn't doing much extra that the console on its side did on its own without the stand..

Just don't press on the console while you're playing wobble gone!! magic.

Neonridr4221d ago

I don't know why anyone would even touch their console while they are playing, unless they were ejecting a game disc. If a console is standing vertical, that rule applies even more.

Blackdeath_6634221d ago

wait for some third party to make a fancy stand that will probably sell for the same price. i don't think i will be using one will just have it stand against the wall

Lubu4221d ago

I bought a Mad Catz stand for my ps3 slim. It was $10, and gave me 4 USB ports.
Something like that is what I will hold out for.

@ neondir:

you're getting disagrees because you're crying about it wobbling if you knock the system when it's standing upright (even with the stand). stand your X360 or your slim PS3 upright (if you have one), and do the same thing.... you'll notice that it wobbles, too!

Neonridr4221d ago

I'm in no way crying about it wobbling. I don't personally stand any electronics on their side. I don't like the idea of a disc being sideways for some reason, lol.

I shouldn't get disagrees because I am pointing out a simple fact.

Studio-YaMi4221d ago

I agree with you,even with the stand it's still wobbling,the PS4 has some issues with it,nothing that would REALLY bug you or a deal breaker by any means but STILL these issues have to be acknowledged by the Sony fanbase & call out Sony on these issues so that Sony Playstation division can fix this for their next PS4 model.

Good call Neonridr.

Why would you want to block up the vents? Are you crazy?

Get the stand so that you still have the vents for airflow at the bottom.

ziggurcat4221d ago

what vents on the bottom? as far as anyone knows, all of the vents are on the back of the console.

feraldrgn4221d ago (Edited 4221d ago )

360 degree view of the PS4, mouse wheel zooms.
There are vents in the sides (both sides).

Yes if you stand it vertically, there is still a bit of airflow, but not as good as if you stood it horizontally or with the stand (the stand has vents).

It would also be safer to buy the stand, to lessen the chances of it being knocked over.

Sarcasm4221d ago

Dude that's an awesome render

GentlemenRUs4221d ago (Edited 4221d ago )

And there we have it!

Though, I prefer mine to sit under the unit :P

Unit = British slang for TV table.

NeloAnjelo4221d ago

But not recommended as it can tip over with a little effort.

The stand supports it better.

I hadn't played Metaphor until it was on GamePass and I can tell you I vastly prefer Clair Obscur. That said, I have never been a big fan of the Persona games.

andy8512h ago

Same tbh. I love persona but Metaphor felt dated to me personally. Expedition 33 definitely felt fresh.

CrimsonWing6912h ago

I could not get into Metaphor, whatsoever and I’m a huge Persona fan. I feel like Metaphor is incredibly overrated, but… and I know this is blasphemy, but I think Clair Obscur is slightly overrated as well.

I think that was on me though because everyone said it was the best thing since sliced bread and when I fired it up, I thought it was ok. I’d take Yakuza Like a Dragon, FF7 Remake/Rebirth, and Persona over it… heck I actually think Lost Odyssey is better. But to each their own.

RavenWolfx12h ago

Lost Odyssey is pretty underrated. Clair Obscur felt like a combo of Lost Odyssey, Legend of Dragoon, and some Shadow Hearts: Covenant, all amazing games that I love.

franwex8h ago

Yeah. Expedition 33 is a bit overrated. It’s cool to have a turn base RPG with a good story, I’m grateful. But it seems that the people that are more impressed don’t really play RPGs and see it as fresh air.

gurp12h ago(Edited 12h ago)

I love all of the persona games, but I cannot get into Metaphor for some reason, I am trying to play it
Clair Obscur is good, but I do not like the battle system, both Metaphor and Clair have great stories
I just finished Clair yesterday
Both Metaphor and Clair are very slightly overrated

GhostScholar10h ago

People seemed to love metaphor before it came to game pass. Odd.

Levii_9210h ago

I personaly really disliked ReFantazio, couldn’t get into it and i loved P5 back in the day. Clair Obscur is much, much better IMO. It cuts all the nonsense and bloat, focuses on fun, it’s much more intuitive, waaaay more focused and much better paced and it doesn’t have incoherent anime nonsense. And i found Refantazio take on the racism and classism to be very shallow. So no i don’t agree that they are two sides of the same coin.. i mean why? Just because they’re both turn based games? Get out of here with that.

pwnmaster30009h ago(Edited 9h ago)

For me it was like demon souls to blood Bourne.
I know not the same game but it’s the best example for me.

Just like bloodborne, expedition 33 was faster and more fluid.
And metaphor, just like demon/dark souls, it’s much slower.

For me I like the faster pace combat.
