z14sniperz Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Hey guys I'm getting the Destiny Glacier White PS4 and I was wondering, "Should I get the White stand when it comes out?" Is there any reason to have the stand? can I just stand my ps4 on it's end without the stand? sorry for the dumb questions, I'm a noob when it comes to ps4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viper Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 (edited) Hey guys I'm getting the Destiny Glacier White PS4 and I was wondering, "Should I get the White stand when it comes out?" Is there any reason to have the stand? can I just stand my ps4 on it's end without the stand? sorry for the dumb questions, I'm a noob when it comes to ps4 I don't have a PS4, but if it's anything like the PS3 then the system will stand up on its own without one, but it'll be a bit wobbly and has a lot of potential to topple over. If you want it to stand vertically, then It's highly recommended. Standing it vertically is a nice space saver, and I think it keeps it cooler as well.

technole Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I would recommend the stand if you are going to be laying up sideways permanently. I use the official PS3 slim stand in my bedroom because it's behind my TV, and wouldn't want a wobbly close of a drawer on my dresser to knock it down. Great support, and clears the mind of accidents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z14sniperz Posted August 27, 2014 Author Share Posted August 27, 2014 Thanks for the input guys! I'm going to put in on my dresser so there's not alot of room..... well there goes another $30.00 haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHST_Guy Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Mine has been without a stand since day one, never came close to tipping over. That's the way my fat PS3 has been for the last 8 years too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dz06lt Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I don't think I would trust the PS4 without stand, PS3 slim and FAT were no problem the PS4 is just not as sturdy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilkBone Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 (edited) Thanks for the input guys! I'm going to put in on my dresser so there's not alot of room..... well there goes another $30.00 haha It is a $30 well spent. Barely takes any space but the PS4 is nice and solid standing. My fat PS3 stands up obviously, but IMO the PS4 NEEDS a stand if you are to stand it up. EDIT: Not sure where you're getting it, but I thought $30 was a little steep. I got mine for $20. Just checked Best Buy and they are $20. Edited August 28, 2014 by MilkBone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't trust the PS4 a minute without a stand. The slim PS3, sure. I'll just say this, for those thinking of saving a few bucks you'll be spending a lot more for a broken PS4 when it falls.

Legion2000 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 (edited) I would recommend the stand if you are going to be laying up sideways permanently. Yeah, me too for the following reasons: - If you're using the PS4 vertically without a stand, you're blocking the vents which the fan uses to suck in the fresh air. Depends on the build quality of your PS4, but it's definitely "not healthy" imo. - The official stand has several slits, which even help compressing the fresh air a little bit and improve the cooling somewhat. - It looks cool Edited August 28, 2014 by Legion2000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanehi185 Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 It does look pretty good, have been thinking about getting one but I have kids now that want to touch everything and out anything that will fit in their mouths so not sure if it would be a good idea or not in my case. Kids or not if I was going to stand it up I would use a stand no matter what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, I don't think that the PS4 stand improves the stability THAT much.The base is just slightly bigger, but I still had the feeling that the PS4 isn't "stable", just slightly better. That said, if you really want to use the PS4 vertically, a stand is a good decision but it won't prevent your PS4 from falling over if your kids give it a slight push.

Vigawla Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 I've got the black one and will buy the white one. Whether it helps with cooling while the PS4 is vertical, I have no idea. I've bought it for aesthetic reasons. But if the PS4 receives a knock, the stand will exasperate the angle needed to tip the PS4 over fully. Imagine a bowling pin with a stand. If you have a cat etc, and you must have the PS4 vertical, the stand will help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VDubPDX82 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 I personally dont have the stand for my PS4 it sits on a Picture shelf form IKEA and sit behind my TV so that my TV holds the PS4 solid as a rock No issues no problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z14sniperz Posted September 1, 2014 Author Share Posted September 1, 2014 Just to let you guys know, I called my local Gamestop and asked him when the White PS4 Stand is coming out. He said in Gamestop's database the white PS4 stand isn't even in there system so there's reason to believe that it's coming this year. I personally think he's full of crap, I mean why have the stand at E3 with the system and no release date for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's releasing on the same date as the Destiny bundle here: https://www.jbhifi.com.au/games-consoles/games/accessory/ps4-vertical-stand-glacier-white/613332/ . He might be right though, the US does have a record of having odd release dates for various things. I'm sure some people will throw a few of them online for sale so you should still be able to get your hands on one pretty quickly . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vigawla Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Thanks for the info! I'm sure I'll find one pretty quickly haha. I've got one on preorder for the 9th of Sep. Considering I'm in Australia, it'd be weird for Gamestop to not have it in their system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SolidWolf Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 The stand just seemed like a rip off to be, advertising the PS4 with the stand and it costs like a seventh off the PS4 price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
