Make no mistake, this isn't the first time a religious symbol has been integrated into a digital audio player, but unlike the
iBelieve, this thing is actually, you know,
real. Destined to be sold in bulk quantities to youth groups everywhere, the Cross MP3 Player is hardly designed by coincidence, and comes with 4GB of internal memory, a two-color LCD, built-in speaker, FM tuner, integrated mic, seven equalizer modes and a multi-language menu for those overseas mission trips. Fightin' the good fight will only cost you $48.14, but you can whittle that down even more by purchasing these things by the hundreds. Check out a couple more shots after the jump.

JESUS!!!!
This is one cross that Jesus wouldn't mind carrying.
Separation of Church and iPod!!!!
Erm... This is another pmp made by china, so shouldn't engadget change the title to: Cheap knock-off of a cross from china?
i like to see that they're getting desperate
And it like won't play anything from Ozzy, right?
Only if you hold it upside down.
Justice! (the french band)
YES!
A must for any true Justice fan!
beat me to it! love justice
Maybe some rounded shiny edges on the buttons and the player, and it might look better. A Cross shape would work better as a remote or even a USB hub
Good for listening to the new justice album.
comes with standard iGod software. and ability to prayercast
speaker on the back... so you can blast that christian rock
Jam'in with Jesus
What happens if you play it upside down?
The same thing that happens if you play a record backwards...
Well the FM logo on the back makes me believe you can get radio stations....
So how many guys will get it so that they can listen to sports during services?
wheres my flying spaghetti monster pod?
w00t! pastafarians represent.
Hell, fifty bucks for a 4GB player with real tactile buttons and a screen? I'd almost buy it.
Its $22 including shipping.

I bought one because it makes me feel so damn holy in church. Wonder what the priest is gonna say when he sees me listening to music on high volume on my cross MP3 player.
4 GBs for $50?
Jesus saves!
...but Esposito scores on the rebound!
You sacreligious heathens sitting at the left hand of the Almighty Powerful. I just figured most of you would know better. HE uses an iPod and iPhone. A non-Apple product would be too much of a Cross to bear.
You people can dance to the mp3 Cross as you join Beelzebub in a fiery dance amongst the searing coals while he eternally pokes your hindquarters with a needle-sharp pitchfork.
Amen.
Fathers house? Market place?
What?
If it had a Jesus on the front that danced to the music you were playing, I'd buy one.
If they made him sing too, I'd fill the 4GBs up with gay anthems and have a ball!
(not that it's easy to dance whilst crucified. "Twitched" might have been a better word)
Dancing Jebus!
I'm waiting for an MP3 player built into a tiny electric chair.
I'm guessing no Black Sabbath can be uploaded to it
so much for not taking the lords word in vain and false idols :P - anyway
JUSTICE ROCKS ~!!!
That "God Listens... To Slayer" pic comes to mind at this present moment...
This then begs the question: What Would Jesus Listen To?
Dude, this thing is an embarrassment to Christianity. For one, youth would not interested in something like this - they would prefer the iPod, Zune, or Creative mp3 player than something geeky like this.
It's sad to see Christianity being marketed in the technology industry - it just doesn't mix.
Complete with crown of thorn headphones?
yes, but does it repel vampires?
Heh, the buttons were scavenged from some old tape deck.
Eric Cartman: Christians have a built in audience of over 1,800,000,000 Americans, if each one of them buys just one of our MP3 players at $48.14, that would be...(pointing at Butters)
Butters: $86,652,000,000
Eric Cartman: Still think it's a stupid idea, Tolkin?
Is that a cross MP3 player in your pocket or are just happy to see me?

Seeing a picture of Paris Hilton walking around with a diamond encrusted model would make my head explode Scanners style.
Great for those random vampires that keep popping up when your walking down the street minding your own business listening to godsmack.
this would go great with that bible thing a few years back... HA
Does it come with a deluxe set of "Crown-O-Thorns" headphones?
I love the delicious irony that these will be filled with stolen music.
Of this I can only say 3 things...
#1 Now you can listen to all your favorite Christian rock bands in the most holy way possible!
#2 WHAT! No Scientology cross!? Assholes!
#3 God would simply say "your a douche for buying this."
I first seen a picture of this on globalgrind.com and I dunno.. I kinda like it. i guess I will listen to my Christian rap on this or something, I wouldn't feel right listening to that other stuff.
