Okay, I want to believe you, but how are you 100% sure of this? I did not like No Man's sky, but what garanties do you bring with this claim? Now I know they wanna try sell the game at a high level but still, there's a chance that the game would be great, there's also a chance that you be right.

Back in the day consoles had two positions, upright and laying down it was touted as a "new standard" on the Americas but was a common thing in Japan.

In the Americas however they just used the same or even cheaper parts for the standup consoles so tue bottom (lol literally sometimes) fell out of the market and users felt that laying down was the better idea(bit nobody decided to reinforce the top to be able to hold a few pounds cuz we all pit stuff on top didn't we lol)

Tldr: Americas are too cheap to provide decent hardware

Starfield has AI generated worlds means they are not hand crafted by designers and will lack creativity. First few hours will be fine but going to get real boring very soon.

It is for a niche audience like No Man’s Sky. If you liked No man’s sky (I did not) then you may like Starfield. May be Fallout, Outer Worlds folks ‘may’ like it too.

But since you said you are a PS person, then you probably like games like Uncharted, God of war, LoU more. In this case you are absolutely not going to like Starfield. Dont succumb to marketing. Only worthwhile games Bethesda launched were Wolfenstein 1 and 2. Rest is marketing fluff.

Wow. I never knew that a console standing up wears out a disk tray and causes it to stop reading disks. I will never stand up another console again and to be honest I will probably never purchase another console that uses CD's. I will just stick to digital consoles from now on to avoid disk problems period.

I have ps2 and 3.
mind you they are lying down now, since I have more room, but other then that I have always had them standing. plus it looked cooler.

But it wears on the disc trays.

If you don't have a disc tray, then it's fine.
That's why many xbox 360's would stop reading disc unless they were laying down.

​

Simple oversight I suppose
