  Any guy who says he has never fantasized about having the things super spy James Bond has-the looks, the gadgets, the cars and the women, not necessarily in that order-is one big fat liar. Every guy who has seen the stuff the five-and soon to be six-movie Bonds have flaunted onscreen somehow imagines himself, at least for a fleeting moment, in the shoes of the suave MI6 operative.

  But many guys have done more than just fantasize being James Bond. Countless men have the looks, the women and the cars. But the gadgets, well, they're another story. They're not that easy to come by, not until Sony and Sony Ericsson came up with this rather lame way of promoting the latest Bond movie: the James Bond 007 TX Spy Gear bundle.

  According to SonyStyle, the Bond Collection, which can be yours for a mere $3,899.99, includes a 007 Vaio TX notebook, with a Vaio UX option, an 007 Privacy Screen, the 007 Cybershot DSC-T50 Digital Camera, the 007 Micro Vault, and an Aluminum Attaché Carrying Case.

  What, no USB disks equipped with a laser cutting tool? Then what so Bond about it? The 007 logo emblazoned on every single product in the bundle. That's the closest the gadgets will ever come close to James Bond fare.

  Right. Like James Bond would ever use anything that has his logo on it. He might as well paint a large target sign on his back.
