Now that we’ve seen the PS5 in all its glory - are you Team Vertical or Team Horizontal?

I'd prefer vertical, but it wouldn't be safe that way over time. I believe (hope) it will fit on my entertainment shelf horizontally.

I like how it looks vertical better but it won't fit in my setup vertically and I live in earthquake country, so horizontal.
Horizontal and the first thing I will do is open it up and disconect the gaudy Leds and then by black plates the second they're available officially out I might even paint the standard ones depending what they're made of.
Is hideous and I want it to be as near to invisible on the shelf as possible

I rearranged my entertainment center so that the PS4 is standing there vertically keeping the spot warm. There's two tall vertical spots. The PC is anyone and the switch was in the other. I moved the switch up to another piece of furniture and the PS5 is going to go where it used to be. This made a lot of space to reorganize other stuff. It's actually a lot better now.
I want to put it vertical and even have the perfect white entertainment console to compliment the look (below), but according to measurements, it's still so tall that it would block the lower left portion of my TV haha. I have to raise the mount to have enough clearance to stand it up on the left side of my entertainment center without reaching the TV haha. It's CRAZY tall.
In horizontal mode both the PS5 and Series X look like they were pushed over by mischievous cow tippers.
I don't like putting consoles vertical usually because I'm afraid of them being knocked over. So with the PS5 I plan to have it horizontal because even with the stand it seems like it may be sort of top heavy. The Series X I think is sturdy enough all around to support being vertical (plus it looks goofy horizontally IMO) so I'll probably go with that.
I bought a vertical stand for my PS4 and used it for a few months in my college apartment at the time because space was limited, but I've had it horizontal ever since. So yeah I'll put the PS5 horizontally in my entertainment center, but the Series X will go vertical behind my TV because I don't have anywhere else to put it.

You can tell it's meant to go vertical. Horizontal is just a concession for those that can't really do vertical due to their setup. It's great that they give the choice, for sure.
But my systems haven't actually been "in" my entertainment center since the PS2. They sit to the side, usually on top of their own box to keep them off the carpet. The PS5 will have a leftover piece of 1x6 to stand on to provide stability on the carpet, and its own box next to it (opposite the TV stand) to prevent any falls in that direction (and to put other stuff like the Switch on). Not that I think it's inherently unstable, but I have a cat.
