Can u stand xbox one on its side.

Don t stand it up vertically. It can t fall over if it s already down. If let it stand on one of it s side u either block the side where the xbox gets air in or u block the side where it pushes the warm air out so i think it s not a good idea to do that. If you can make sure the console is stable and no vents are covered then it might be fine only issue i could see is the main vent being sideways and it adversely affecting heat transfer.

Although the console was revealed standing up users can turn the console. According to microsoft that is how the unit is supposed to be used and if you turn it on its side vertically you are on your own. Mine is the 60g white xbox. Laying it flat is actually better because someone over in the design department put the cooling fans on the side you can stand it on when standing it up right o o.
