    Using xbox 360 vertically causes damage to hard disk and game disk?


    Is it true that using xbox 360 vertically causes damage to your game disk and hard disk? I heard it around, so maybe this console was not "ready" to work good vertically. I just bought the support station with cooling fan

    Hi there Ivanovicc, my name is Gerardo, and I'm an Xbox player, just like you. I'll be happy to assist you with any questions or concerns you may have.

    Don't worry, according to the following article on the Xbox Support website, Xbox 360 consoles can be positioned both vertically and horizontally without any issues, and there's no risk of damaging your disc games or hard drive:

    I hope this helps and if you have further questions please let me know.

    Kind regards,
    Gerardo.

    XBOX X on vertical stand

    That was certainly true of the original Xbox One. Thought they were using disk drives in the S and X that work vertically. Hence why they make branded stands, wouldn't do that if it damaged disks etc.

    Xbox One vertical

    Hi !!

    I wanted to know if there was any news concerning the use of a vertical Xbox One for those of us who don't use disks. Might There be a problem with the hard drive too ?? Might this cause overheating ??

    Thanks for the help. :)

    Hi I wanted to talk about the best position for my xbox one.

    Hello, the xbox one can be put vertical but has the risk of being knocked over and damaging a disk if its running.

    One disc, and only one disc, causes my disc drive to make a weird noise.

    Hello Rocker,

    Thanks for reaching out to the forums. We understand you are having issues with a disk. We recommend to get a new disk. As it is the only disk causing issues it is somehow damaged or something. One way a disk can be damaged and is very hard to see, is the
    disk being warped. As another test you could try the disk in another console.

    Thanks,

    Brad
