So, we're not going to say this is the
greatest thing we've ever seen, because we've seen some
pretty awesome things in our years and years of
living on the edge, but it's pretty, uh...
heavy metal. Regardless, the so-called "Punk Skull" belt buckle is one multi-talented reminder of Death: he holds up your pants, but can also play MP3s (1GB player included) or display fascinatingly terrifying LED light patterns (LED module included) -- though sadly, not both at once. If that's not enough uses for you, the manufacturer suggests that the buckle is solid enough for you to use "as a handheld weapon," which is great, because we suspect that suddenly, a lot of people are going to start wanting to fight you. Available now for wholesale, we're pretty sure they'll be making their way to high-end retailers near you soon, and that they'll be horrifically affordable. A few more shots of the carnage after the break.

Wear this to distract people from your hideous face and nerd-like clothes!
I'm not sure this is an improvement over nerdy clothing. Pocket protectors could get you more sex than this.
All he needs now is an Xbox shirt and a calculator watch.
Dont forget the bluetooth headset lanyard!
and don't forget the pocket UMPC.
Don't forget the glowing Star Trek shoes!
don't forget your USB Cigarettes.
Don't forget a Blackburry
And the solar powered hat fan.

A Zune Tattoo would round out the outfit nicely.
This is for someone who needs to completely prove to the world that they are just THAT much of a loser.
I will give an atomic wedgie to anyone I see wearing this.
aka wedgie seen around the world . put those industrial clamp on their boxers, and pull it by means of heady duty steel chains

One heck of a boner...
That's exactly what they want.
May I be the first to say, the flaming arrow coming from the belt looks like a body part 90% of us engadget readers have.
We were all thinking it, I just said it.
> ...a body part 90% of us engadget readers have...
I do not have any body part that extends from hip level to shoulder level regardless its state.
Sigh.
you might want some cream for that rash
chastity belt.....
Now with female repellent.
In for three!!!!
eh shipping kills it.
ya, shipping sure does kill it... china grabber has free shipping i believe... but no "cool" mp4 buckle... rats!
What the...???
Crapgadget!
I think that's pretty much a given.
Haha!! The guy in the picture looks so proud to be wearing it.
Wearing this belt is a guaranteed way to ensure no woman will ever undo it
Why a "handheld weapon"? Why not just a "weapon"? If you simply said "it can be used as a weapon", would people think you meant a pants-held weapon?
VIRGIN SQUAD ASSEMBLE!!!!!
lol pants held weapon or not, that thing is the ugliest and most useless gadget i've seen in quite a while..
Imagine taking a leak with that thing...
It plays music, and you can knock someone out with it. Some street thugs might be interested in this, in case their guns run out of ammo and their knives are lost.
....and when he sits down? That thing isn't going to crush his manhood?
I'm glad someone else said it, since it was my first thought. My second thought was how the western bull rider trophy buckles are oval in the wide direction for a good reason.
"....and when he sits down? That thing isn't going to crush his manhood?"
What manhood?
I hope the buckle can fight because you're going to encounter quite a few wearing that.
Now, this might seem like the perfect deal for most of us readers, but here is my question:
If you need to use it as a weapon, will you lose the ability to keep your pants from falling off?
It seems like a possible design-flaw to me, and I hate when false marketing is used to further hype a product to make all of us interested buyers run out and buy one, and then have all of our hopes crushed when realizing that the product wasn't as great as they made it out to be.
"Now with added giant fiery penis!"
that guy tucked a polo shirt into a pair of jeans. He lost before he even put on the belt buckle.
I can see this at maybe... a biker rave in SF, or maybe for the Folsom Street Fair. Other than that, this is useless unless you like getting jumped.
Getting jumped might be the closest thing that you'll get to sex while wearing this.
Don't forget to email my trolling ass (spammers, especially): inguatu@aol.com
So your saying the engadget editors are gay, then you talk about jobs' wee wee?? huh funny how that works out
The way I see it, this heavy p.o.s. will be a drag on your pants and your attempts at seduction.

i too was looking for that tag.. but then i realised its actually awesome.
How do you unzip your flyer wearing this? It better be rustless...
They forgot to mention that upon purchasing this buckle you automatically give consent to get your ass kicked by anyone.
Double dare you to go into a biker bar with that on.
LOL! people what the hell is wrong with you?
Why dont the LED light come from mouth of da skull.
as a hand held weapon? really? the manufacterer actually included that in the description? badass.
That shit is TITS cuz TITS are great!
