if you have a xbox360 HD DVD addon and itis not dead and useless from now on.
So dont throw it away here are some tips.
Paper Weight
Have a stack of papers that you need to keep in place? Are strong gusts of wind constantly blowing your important documents from your desktop? Keep those papers in place with the Xbox 360 HD DVD drive and rest easy knowing even the stongest breeze won't budge them.

Street Fighter Fireball Attack Blocker
How many times have you been beaten by Ken or Ryu's fireballs? Trying to time a jump can be tricky, but you'll easily be able to defend yourself by using the Xbox 360 HD DVD player as a shield that can absorb the impact of any fireball that can be mustered up!

Cup Holder
Have you ruined all your table tops with unsightly moisture stains? Are you sick of trying to balance your beverage in your lap only to end up spilling it all over yourself? Solve your problems by using the convenient disc tray of the Xbox 360 HD DVD as a sturdy cup holder.

Chair Leg Balancer
Sitting down in an uneven chair is never a comfortable experience and the constant teeter-tottering motion is enough to make anyone motion sick.
Level things out by simply sliding the Xbox 360 HD DVD player under the leg in question and viola, no more rocking back and forth!

Door Stop
If you need to keep a door propped open without allowing it to close and potentially lock you in or out, just slide the Xbox 360 HD DVD drive between the door and the jam. Now you can safely walk away without having to worry about the door slamming shut.

Mouse Pad
Has that old mouse pad you've been using since installing Windows 98 finally worn through to the table? Don't bother going out and buying an overpriced padded surface for your laser mouse. The smooth, flat surface of the Xbox 360 HD DVD player is perfect for fluid mouse movements, even though it's not very ergonomic in design.

Xbox 360 Power Supply Platform
Help to prevent the dreaded Rings of Death from ending your playing time by keeping your power brick off the carpet as it rests on top of the Xbox 360 HD DVD drive.
Just make sure the HD DVD player isn't plugged in as well and you'll have a cool, unpowered surface for your Xbox 360 power supply to rest.

Straight Edge
Can't find that measuring stick anywhere? Just grab your Xbox 360 HD DVD player and put any of its straight edges to good use. It's weight will keep it firmly in place as you draw the most perfect lines you've ever seen!

Book End
There's nothing worse than a sloppy pile of books that just won't stand upright on the shelf! If you don't happen to have way to keep them in place, put your Xbox 360 HD DVD to good use and secure them in an orderly fashion.

There's a rumor that xbox360 only backed Toshiba HD to help keep the HD war going with Blu-ray. Because PS3 integrated their Blu-ray player in the system, a lot of people didn't what to spend the money for the PS3 if Blu-ray would become obsolete. Kinda makes sense (sort of)
