    And as always with homemade laser guns - don't do it. If you do, be extremely careful. Even if you catch the glare off of something shiny, there's a chance you can burn permanent blind spots onto your retinas before you even have a chance to blink.

    I have a 360 HD dvd player. It'd be nice to actually find a useful purpose for the thing.

    Wow that's really cool. Not. Get back to me when it's an actual weapon and not a toy for sadistic children to burn ants with.

    It is only $50. It uses the diode from HD DVD, not the console itself.
