Can the Playstation lay on its side? Can any componets be on top of it? Does the name plate change?

May be...

thanks...getting one today...which game should I get with it?

Can the Playstation lay on its side? If you mean flat, yes. It can also stand on it's side, but I'm always afraid one of my cats will knock it over.



Can any componets be on top of it? No, the top of it is curved. It will be better placed on top of your entertainment stand with good ventilation. Not in a closed in shelving unit.



Does the name plate change? Not that I can tell.



If you're old enough, get GTA4. Your PS3 will come with a game though, which one depends on which console you get (how many gigs). You can also download free demos and videos so try a few out before buying one to see what you like.

this site will give you a playstation 3 just for completing some quick online tasks! really recommend it, especially if you're broke but really want a ps3 (like me).
