Come to Paintball Explosion on Thursday, 7/26/2012 to be one of the first in the world to shoot this new revolutionary product. It will be $95 case and FREE entry for anyone testing the new HydroTec paintballs at Paintball Explosion starting at 4 pm!

Posted on Paintball Explosions Facebook page.

I'm a little surprised at the price because its more than the field normally charges.

[Russian Legion Fan]

I hope thats just a first event only price, cause I'm not going to pay $50 more for a case.

[DarkSide]

95 a case is freaking ridiculous

[picaboo8]

noooooooooooooooo way am I going to pay that....I'll buy 3 cases of jt paint before I pay $95 for one

[NotaSniper]

Finally!!!!

I'll pay good money for a case. If it lasts as long as they say I won't have to worry about trying to shoot it all before it gets bad.

This, I would probably pump with it.

If it is as good as it looks like it is going to be, I'm down for $95 a case.

And people are going to be freaking out about the price, but it's like admission and a good case of paint. Hopefully this won't be the final price though...

[Cookybiscuit]

Before shitting on the price we should see what its like, paintballs themselves are one of the things holding the game back.

[kingJurzy]

I read that these paintballs are not affected by water, or temperature, and they are very well made.

[NotaSniper]

Well if you look at that fields website there regular price for a case of DXS was 85. They didn't say what kind. My field does redemption for 65. Can't shit on the price based on what one field is charging.

[Empire91]

I don't hear people shitting on CPX's 90$ a case rates? And that's for regular paintballs. If these last longer, are more consistent, and are just generally better made, I would say the extra 5$ is worth it.

[Yankee Paintball]

I hope someone gets video of this. I've been waiting a long time for this stuff to come out.

Because that's a given.

Honestly I'm willing to pay $95 if this stuff is as good as it's supposed to be. Which I hope it will be.

[BrownChickenBrownCow]

I love how Facebook mobile hides things like this from me. It must be a conspiracy with my wife. Their normal paint for open play is a custom DXS silver I believe. I don't know what they use for speedball.

That's because CPX and Paintball Explosion are Chicagoland paintball fields, and like everything in the Chicago area the prices are ridiculously high

Yes the price is pretty crazy, But i am someone that is following them on Facebook and on their website.
One of the main reasons why the paint is $95 a case if because the shell is corn based (not gelatin)
and is waterproof, therefore i am assuming that the manufacturing process is different. One of the reasons that
it has been taking them so long to finally make them available to the public is because they have not figured out
a way to mass manufacture the new paintballs cost efectively and that is why they were supposed
to be released like 2 years ago.

Wasn't it because they had a problem with their machine and had to redo them from scratch?

I did not know of that, thanks for telling me, and yeah i think that did not help them much, also the place where it will be at supposedly charges $85 per case, so it is probably the field setting the price so high aswell.

[cybermaniac15]

Oh yeah I have no problem with the paint price there because it's in the average range and it basically comes with admission.


And dont quote me, but I think they had a problem with the machines and that's why it's been taking so long, not sure though.
