PS2 was designed to be used vertically. I kept mine vertical for most of its life, never had a problem with it. I could see the tray-loading DVD drive maybe not keeping disks in 100% securely while vertical, but through the annecodtal evidence of a lifetime of use, that was never a problem. It was also never a problem with my PS3 or PS4 which I also kept vertical, both of which you'd think ostensibly would be even better fits for vertical use since the slot-drives hold disks a lot more securely. Either way I would not worry about vertical placement of the machine messing with the disk drive.
Taking the front cover off and getting to the intake isn't very hard on a PS5, and the little mesh filter over the fan intakes is easy enough to vacuum out. That alone should keep the internals of your PS5 cleaner for longer than last gen or any other gaming alternative. Someday way down the line, you might need to do a more thorough cleaning of the fans and heatsinks, but that'll probably be long enough in the future that either 1) you'll be done with the machine or 2) the ball bearings on the fans will have run their course anyways.
I look forward to hearing your thoughts about it, I don't think anyone else on the forums have played it (or if they have, discussed their experiences). I liked it a lot and it was a pretty nifty preview for the kinds of stuff we'll hopefully see/do in 7R-2. But it's kinda on the short side, even if you do everything in it.
Finished it, took me about 8 hours.
Sorry to hear that. And yeah Fedex is easily, EASILY, the worst delivery company ever. I've never had a remotely good interaction with them ever for any kind of package over the years. I would happily pay extra money just to get things delivered to me by not!Fedex.
Yuffie took a while for me to click with how to use her, but once I did she was a ton of fun to control. Her elemental attacks too are really great, it sure would have been nice to have had access to those while fighting the Hell House.
Glad you enjoyed the DLC, I can't wait to see what they've got for part 2, the DLC was a great preview of things to come imo.
They're 3rd-person action games that feature platforming and a large array of goofy weapons. The Ratchet games have always been touted as looking like Pixar movies, but in this case it's really, incredibly true. They've made like 10 of these games and they're admittedly kind of samey, but even so I think Rift Apart is among the best of them and a great game in its own right. On top of looking fantastic, it has fluid controls, a good story and some truly impressive use of the PS5's fast SSD. I played the game on the performance RT setting, which generally maintains 60 FPS but keeps ray traced lighting, which is the sweet spot for me. But you can swing the needle in either direction for a game that looks legitimately outstanding at 30 FPS, or else smoother performance at a lower resolution.
