It depends on how pretty you want it.
You could like... suspend it between rubber bands in your glove box or something.

Alternatively, find some light springs and have it resting on them. You know the slinky was actually invented (by accident) when trying to solve this problem for radar on boats. :D

Also, you'll get better results if you have the suspension method at least above and below the drive. The more directions you can shock insulate, the better.

I can always toss it in a box of memory foam lol but moving parts on the inside are still gonna move I mean let's take a genaric car stero and the CD players that they have. What would it take to apply that sort of shock resistance to the inside

You could also RGH it and run the games off a HDD and get rid of the dvd drive completely.

Definitely RGH it, then get a cheap SSD and use it for a hard drive, you'll end up with essentially no moving parts
