Also, is it better to play with the console verticle or horizontal? Thanks.

I'm not sure backups wear down the laser any more than leaving the light on in the room when you were reading can damage your eyes.
It's a very rough analogy but true. I worked out once that on average PS2 backup use of 4 hours/day, backups would lessen the life of the laser by around 2 weeks in a two year life.
