Do you own any of the products seen in Casino Royale?

I own these two items:

Persol 2244-S
Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T10 (Black DSC-T50 in the movie but it's close enough)

[00Twelve]

Unfortunately, I can't really afford any products "placed" in Casino Royale. And I don't happen to like Heineken very much.

[Blofeld's Cat]

Everyone needs a New Holland earth-mover.

[Jim]

We're looking at a house in Venice.

"Expensive" seems an inadequate description.

[bill007]

This Tuesday, I'll be picking up my Aston Martin. Courtesy of Best Buy and Corgi.

[ComplimentsOfSharky]

I want a Vaio so bad.....hahaha

[Bucky]

i usually get the same smirnoff that was shown in the airport. i want to get a pair of the persol sunglasses that bond wears.

[darkpath]

While I did not pick either of the exact models of mobile that Bond or Vesper use, I did pick a Sony Ericsson, candy-bar style mobile.

I had toyed with adding a Walther P99 to my collection, though some of the discussions on the forum seem to suggest that it's a trifle bit of a brick (heavy and bulky) and apparently a trifle fussy. I'll stick with my ASPs.

If Sony made the Vaio notebooks available with some variant of BSD, instead of Windows, then I might consider one of those. In the meantime, I'll stick with my PowerBook.

I am considering getting a peacoat like the one Bond wears in the second of his two 00 qualifying kills.

I was planning to get a digital camera, and that Sony DSC-T50 did look lovely!

If you mean do I want to own an Aston Martin, Sony Vaio and a defibrillator, yes, it works. If you mean did I go out and buy an Aston Martin, Sony Vaio and a defibrillator, then no, I suppose it didn't work.

That's what I mean.

[Santa]

I do want an Aston Martin though...

[Professor Dent]

I don't own any of the products. I was in a Sony Style retail store a few weeks before CR opened & they had a really cool CR tie-in section with cameras (that had the 007 logo on them) & some laptops (can't remember if they had the 007 logo on them or not). Unfortunately, the only thing that really impressed me were the prices. With that being said, I will enjoy some Heineken or Smirnoff tonight.

[kitt22]

My dad has just ordered a new Jaguar XJ.

It featured throughout the film but most notably as Mr White's car at the end.

[zencat]

Yeah, I'd like one of those Eva Greens.

[SilencedPPK]

I can't afford anything that was placed in Casino Royale . But I sure did want the Sony Ericsson, both Aston Martins, and Omega watches. That woudl be a dream!

[bond_girl_double07]

Since the product placements were the only part of CR that I didn't like no, it didn't work.. I still hate Heinekin, I'll still buy Grey Goose over Smirnoff any day of the week, and I still have an LG phone (because I don't really care enough about it to buy a good one).

It did make me hungry for lamb though.. does that count as a product placement?

It is a little bulky, but then most guns are when compared to a BHP or 1911. I don't think it's really heavy at all, being a polymer-framed gun. It's lighter than all of my similar sized pistols. As far as fussiness goes, I've never had a single failure in the time I've owned mine, and to my knowledge it ran flawlessly for the previous owner too. Go ahead and get one, but look for a used one, because the new ones just look ugly.

Out of the products featured in the movie, all I've got are the aforementioned P-99, and a Browning Hi-Power like the one Bond picked up in the embassy. I already had both of those, so I guess the movie really didn't influence me.

Yeah, I'd like one of those Eva Greens.

Ditto; I asked for a Caterina Murino for Christmas, but no such luck.

Well, don't forget to check your Easter basket next month....

[Cody]

I don't wear sunglasses or watches, don't dress any fancier than blue jeans and black T-shirts, don't drink, don't drive, don't collect guns, didn't get the camera, have Dell and Mac laptops, and just a hand-me-down cellphone.

So, nope.

I guess I'm more inclined to pick up a Hi-Power/GP35 than the P99. As far as the Astons go, I'd be more inclined to hire one for a special occassion than to own one outright.

Most likely, I'll only be purchasing ensembles that match or at least resemble those Bond used.

[Kilroy6644]

Naturally. I was just pointing out that the P-99 isn't a bad gun, but given the choice, I'd go with the HP every time. It feels better, has more history behind it, and just plain looks better.

[007Travis]

Well I've had two bottles of this exact vintage before. In fact I had one today. What a wonderful Champagne it is.

[007-A]

Sure did, Smirnoff Vodka, in my VESPER and a nice piar of Persols!

[Forward Look]

I already have an older Sony Vaio laptop.

[jaguar007]

I have worn an Omega Seamaster since 2003 (slightly different from the Bond version) and wear Persol sunglasses (in fairness, I was interested in them before I found out Bond was going to wear them and they are a different style).

[PlayItBogart]

Worked on me. I now launder my money through Nameless Evil Organization, Inc.

[TheREAL008]

I wouldn't mind owning Persol's someday.

[Four Aces]

Yes. I bought a Rolex after seeing Casino Royale!
