Does anyone actually sit theirs horizontally? I've cept mine vertical since I got it, and well I've been talking to people and they all say like you guys, no, its normal. I'm forced to keep it vertical anyway because there wouldn't be enough room for it to sit horizontally, plus with it vertical I have perfect room for my TV, PS2 and Gamecube.

Anyway, another thing about my PS2...has anyone else ever played a DVD and saw it go black for a split second every now and then? I read in the instruction manual that watching DVDs on it while having it hooked up through a VCR affects it somehow negatively, and that you're supposed to have it directly connected to the TV when you watch DVDs. Since my TV doesn't have that Red/Yellow/White connection thing on it, I'm forced to use the RFU adaptor which results in crappy sound (its a single speaker tv, so its mono on top of mono this way...eck), plus the line got messed up over time so if its not sitting JUST THE RIGHT WAY I get static and lines and crap running through my picture. I haven't tried watching an entire DVD since I hooked it up with the RFU adaptor directly to the TV, but I tested short amounts of time and it seemed perfect (just with crappy sound)...

So does anyone have theirs hooked up through a VCR and watch DVDs on it that way? Did you ever wittness this black for a split second thing? Please tell me if you have or have not.

Yeah I'm a PS2 paranoia freak, but I want to know if anythings wrong before its too late for me to exchange it for a new one if I must.
