Now you can listen to listen to MP3's of Mason belting "Deee-troit, bas-ket-ball!!!!" on a proper MP3 player.
The Detroit Pistons MP3 Player looks to be a 1st generation Ipod Shuffle with the Pistons logo on it. The description incorrectly states the memory capacity of 128 MB, it's more like 512 MB. Proceeds from the sale of the Pistons MP3 players will benefit the Detroit Medical Center for Breast Cancer Prevention.
At $25 a pop this is a great price and it's for a good cause. The 1st gen shuffles are good to workout with. I have the 1 GB edition which can store roughly 200 songs on it. You can order one at the Palace Lockerroom Store or by clicking here. (Pistons MP3 Player)
NBA Auctions has a Rasheed Wallace autographed one (shown in the pic) up for bid right now. (Rasheed Wallace Autographed MP3 Player)
Editor's Note: The MP3 player correctly states that the capacity is 128 MB not 512 MB as I assumed. Once again I was wrrrr... I was wrrr... wrong.
Editor's Note 2: According to the fine people at daringfireball.net, the Pistons MP3 Player is an Ipod Shuffle rip-off. Believe me, after looking at the packaging up close, I was fooled. I'll stick to hoops.


i hope the pistons mp3 does not contain 'sheed' rants vs. the refs !

Just a heads up....
The blurb on the page states it supports MP3 and WMA files only.
This means its not an iPod Shuffle, but some cheap ripoff (and likely not exactly legal).
Most likely its one of these:

But the company that made them was long since forced to disappear.
To funny that people actually believe Apple would allow their products to be repackaged in packaging that looks that bad!

I think the best evidence it's a knock-off and not a real iPod Shuffle is that the symbol on the play button is slightly off center.
Oh yeah, and NO APPLE SYMBOL ANYWHERE. Apple is not exactly know for taking a lazy attitude towards branding, even when involved with charity.

You guys are all correct. I checked out the one my friend bought and while the package is the same size and contains a similiar looking lanyard, it is a rip-off.
He kept it sealed for a collection, but now he may open it. It virtually looks the same. Once again I'm an ass.
