Is it safe to have another console on top of the 360 like in that pic? I could do with putting something on top of mine, cramped for space and all.

You could get away with the wii but nothing thats going to cover the vents otherwise it will overheat

If you're going to have a Wii on top, I'd make sure the standby connection is disabled though. (so the light goes red when you turn off instead of orange)

Why do you say that? Does the Wii run hotter permanently hooked up to the net in stanby?

Yeah, if you feel the underside of the machine you'll notice it gets quite warm if you leave that on. It's using something like 14 watts of power in that mode, vs 1-2 in proper standby. (I forget the exact number)

I have the 360 HD-DVD drive on top of my 360 No problems with it so far as the top doesn't get very hot, and the HD drive doesn't emit a lot of heat
