The one with the regular PS5 is incredibly stable.
Comment on PS5 Pro just got even more expensive as Sony admits these accessories won't work.

Why would you want a vertical stand? They can cause damage to the system.

Explain how please. Unless it’s blocking vents, I don’t see how electrical components (non mechanical) would care about its orientation.

The concern was that it uses a “liquid metal” thermal interface, and that if the system overheated while vertical it could migrate away from the hot zones. This is a potential issue with thermal grizzly’s liquid metal product, requiring occasional maintenance. Apparently the ps5 doesn’t have that issue.

They can? My PS5 has been on the included vertical stand the entire time I’ve owned it, what risk am I ignoring?
I remember with the Xbox 360 the only issue was if you switched from vertical to horizontal or vice versa while the disc was being read.

There’s no risk for a factory condition unit. This rumor started after people with units that had been dissasembled and reassembled had issues with vertical orientation. It turned out that it’s very easy to mess up the seals that keep the liquid metal thermal interface in place. So units that had been previously taken apart had liquid metal slowly leak, causing overheating and/or shorting.
If you haven’t taken the cooler off the mainboard, using the vertical stand is just fine. I haven’t seen any evidence of factory assembled units suffering leaking.
