10 Things To Do With That Now Useless HD-DVD Add-On


Finally, HD DVD users now have the empirical evidence they've been looking for to prove that the universe really is conspiring against them. We figured we'd make ourselves useful over here and give you a list of things you can do with your poor, obsolete HD DVD player -- starting with taking it out to dinner, excusing yourself to the bathroom before the check comes... then getting the hell out of there.

Gimmes

eBay
Doorstop
Entertainment center cup-holder
Destroy it. Office Space style.
Oh, the humanity

Mail it to the office of Howard Stringer in protest of Blu-ray's victory.

Plug it into your clothes dryer's 240-volt outlet. Woops, honey! My bad, guess we have to buy a Blu-ray player now.

Finally, replace your Betamax player.

Buy the Blu-ray player of your choice, put it in the box, attempt to return it as "defective."

Channel it through Whoopi Goldberg and make some pottery with it.

Put a Blu-ray disc in the tray and then call up Toshiba when it doesn't work. Repeatedly.

Put it in a time capsule, just to confuse future generations.

Buy a few dozen of 'em and build a little hut for your Blu-ray player.

Lock it alone in a room with a few lethal weapons... let it die honorably.

Use it to upscale DVDs, which is all you ever used it for anyways.

Of course, feel free to leave your own suggestions in comments.

I love the one about returning it in the blue ray box and saying it is defective!
It would be fun to see if it would work...

Me, I would tie a rope to the back of a car, get on the HD-DVD player and water ski street-style on it.

I'd use it as a stepper i think it's heavy-duty enough

can u say "target practice"?

Launch enough into the sun to create a sweet electronic firework show

i just would feel bad if someone really did waste their money on that.

If you got it from Best Buy, it would likely work

:') thanks for a good laugh mate

i am glad i supported blu ray

I'd totally go witht eh "Destroy it: Office Space Style"

That would fucking rule, and would make a hell of a nice video, if you filmed it right, and put some music. Probably the same song FROM Office Space if I did it lol.

I think this new technology sucks

cool

Sell it away and get a new blu ray player

Wow, way the bring a dead post back to life.... yah know iv been seeing alot of that..... your not even trying to get 100 posts.... just couddent resist that smartass comment?

Go to your neighbor's house, and swap his Blu-Ray with your HD DVD player and hope he never notices.

i say keep it.

just so i can laugh at you when i see it at your house.
