Here's one from the anal-retentive department: the Flic Scanner. If you've got an out-of-control disc collection that your friends are always borrowing from, the Flic can help you keep track of it all. It's essentially a barcode scanner like the ones in stores, but it works together with the supplied Collectorz.com software on your PC to keep track of all your media. Scan in all your CDs, DVDs, HD DVD and Blu-ray discs, PlayStation games, and all the rest — hell, it can even inventory your books. Then when a pal wants to borrow your Legally Blonde 2 disc, just log it out and you won't have to make the any more mental notes. At $200, the scanner is a fairly costly investment, so you'd better do a little self-examination before you hand over your MasterCard: are you the type of person who is disciplined enough to really use this thing? And more importantly, what possessed you to actually pay real American dollars for that Reese Witherspoon bomb? — Peter Pachal
