You can get an Xbox 360 HDDVD add-on for $49.00 due to the death of the HD DVD format. While I know readers aren't very powerful (no burning stuff) it could be cool to mess with for almost nothing. Has anyone ripped a laser from the add-on? How does it look? Worth $50.00?

| I got 2 diodes from one but still need to seperate them from what may be a heatsink. Hopefully these drives will be able to be turned into cheap violet lasers. |

I'm also fairly interested in this idea. The technology can't be that different than that of the Blu Ray lasers you see tutorials for all the time. For $50, I can't see a decent reason not to give this a shot.

Good work, you(we?)'re almost there! Please post back with results, and maybe even a semi-detailed How-To for people who would like to try this but have no experience in building lasers.

Is that from the HD-DVD add on, or from a blu-ray player?
