Using a external DVD/ HD DVD player to play games?

Well my 360 is dying and it s because it has a hard time reading discs. So I was wodering if I could use a external DVD/ HD DVD player to play games if it is connected to my 360?

no way, no how, period..

ight thanks guys. I guess I will be buying a new xbox 360 S.

I don't even think the official HD DVD drive from MS could be used for games!BaconB1ts123

well as far as iknow you can get a bunch of USb flashdrives then sync those with your xbox via the dashboard and bamm you can install your discs to those drives so that the disc is only used as verification, of the fact that you own the game.

it might not seem llike much but assuming your using a wireless controller thats 4 usb slots.

ight thanks guys. I guess I will be buying a new xbox 360 S.
