As 2007 comes to a close, there's been an onslaught of definitive DVD collections that'll keep you busy until spring. We made it through 386 disc, 20 bags of Doritos, a case of Sparks, and countless bedsores to determine the ones you need to own and why. Hell, we even weighed them, which is more than we can say for ourselves. (We're kinda fat now.)

The X-Files: The Complete Collector's Edition, $230 Weight: 7 lbs., 9.2 oz.
Number of Discs: 61 (nine complete seasons, 201 episodes,
The X-Files: Fight the Future movie)
Case: A huge black box…that will enslave your soul.
Why You Want It: The X-Files may have gotten really frustrating toward the end, but it was still one of the most creative and entertaining shows to ever air on network TV. You'll laugh, you'll cringe, you'll wonder what the hell it all means. This set also includes a movie poster, comic book, set of art cards, and 60-page episode guide. Plus, if you don't like it you could make it your coffee table.

James Bond 007: Ultimate Collector’s Set, $200 Weight: 7 lbs., 2.3 oz.
Number of Discs: 42 discs (21 movies)
Case: A massive black box that is heavier than all the Bond girls combined.
Why You Want It: There are over 40 hours of special features, many of which taught us more about the world than any dumb-ass college professor. Just make sure you don't lift this without bending your knees. The last thing you needs is another hernia.

Star Trek: The Next Generation Complete Series, $300 Weight: 5 lbs., 6.2 oz.
Number of Discs: 49 (seven seasons, 176 episodes, one bonus disc)
Case: A green plastic box that matches the color of our dream home.
Why You Want It: Because you're a closet nerd like us, it was a great show, and no one should be seen buying all seven seasons separately. The only downside: This isn't the one with Jeri Ryan playing Seven of Nine, though. (That was
Voyager, noob.)

Everybody Loves Raymond: The Complete Series, $145 Weight: 5 lbs., 3.5 oz.
Number of Discs: 44 (nine seasons, 210 episodes)
Case: It's a house! (Even though it's cardboard, we still plan on living in it for the next six months.)
Why You Want It: Proof that Ray Romano's TV family is much funnier/meaner than yours. And we thought we had a dumb brother and jerk parents. (Oh, and we do.)
