So THAT'S what happened to all the old Sony laserdiscs! Stand bases are better than burying them in the desert.

Holy shit! All these photos of the stands in one place!

Don't ever change, Jeff.

This is the first article I read in weeks........ GODDAMN!!!!!!!!!!

If you think this one is good, then...http://www.giantbomb.com/news/the-death-of-a-video-game-benchmark/4352/

Not gonna lie, I totally went out and fucking bought an official PS2 horizontal stand. It made the PS2 look awesome.

fucken STANDS BRO!!¡

It's no Kid Icarus stand. Can I use this PS3 stand for my iPhone? I thought so.

Slow news day then.

YEAR OF THE STAND!

@Jeff

this webring

A-may-zing.

Thanks Jeff.

fantastic @Jeff . now when i see one one at the store, i will inexplicably become aroused.

I wonder how people actually has their consoles stand up vertically.

Is it just me, or does the new stand look like it will allow your upright PS3 to swivel and rotate?

I had to scroll back up to the byline to make sure this was NOT an Alex Navarro article.

I feel like console stands exist for two very specific purposes; event displays and idiots. XD

Captivating and detailed read about the most anticipated gaming accessory of our time.

Shivers down my spine

This validates my entire life! THANK YOU, SONY!

Chucks old PS3 out the window, this is hot shit.

Jeff is shotgunning before writing articles again

I would say that I can't stand articles like this, but I'd be lying. And I would lie less if I had a stand.

Get up, Stand up. Stand up for your rights PS3.

NOT ENOUGH REPRESENTATION ON THIS SITE FOR PLAYSTATION STAND-AMERICANS! I'M GOING TO VIDEO GAME WEBSITE FAVORIT GAMEBOMB.RU

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!

Have you SEEN the stand??!

Look at it!

It's...

...

Yay, I guess?

The miracles of modern technology.

Be the question is....can the logo rotate?

Is this patented technology? Sony have always been ahead of the curve on this stuff. In fact it's not even a curve, it's a 45 degree angle from horizontal to vertical -- like a vertical stand. Yep.

I don't care about no vertical stand, it's all about the horizontal stand.

Great article!

Can we get some topless pics of the PS3?

And this is why we all love Jeff Gerstmann. Get up, stand up!

If there's one thing I literally can't stand it would be PlayStations without a stand. Thank you gods of stance, thank you.

ONLY POSSIBLE ON PLAYSTATION 3 

Is there a carry case for the stand?!?

Big fucking deal, PC's have been horizontal since the nineties.

I stared at the image of the PS2 for a good minute until i realized that wasn't the new PS3 design.

I'm so dumb.

If it makes you feel any better, you're not the only one.

Outstanding.

That is one dusty console.

Jeff you crazy. And I like it, but doesn't standing the thing straight up ruin the discs?

But have they ever released 4800 pixel press images of their specially made stands? I don't think so. Sony wins this one, I'm afraid.

That's real, real dusty.

OH FUCK! They drop that shit out to you in .tif format!?

GO CRAZY WITH IT IN PHOTOSHOP!

I cant stop laughing.

damn... shit.... that's whack

It's the simple things.
