    Why is it??...

    I was just thinking...How come it seems like AGD Europe puts all the brand spankin new stuff out for sale well before they become available here in the U.S.??

    Take the Extreme E-mags for example, they are available AGDE right? and they aren't expected here in the U.S. for another what? 6-7 weeks?

    Why can't it be the other way around?

    Just one of the things i wonder about..

    They test it out on us European muggins before releasing it to a bigger audience.

    But do you hear me complaining? Its quite refreshing actually usually the US is the first to get new products, be it paintball, films or technology. So its feels gooood to get it first. Well I dont own an extreme but to *know* that I could before americans is nice, even if its a bit evil

      I really dont care that they release new stuff in europe before the USA because i probably couldnt afford any of it anyway.

            Well, know what I was doing becasue Im pretty Interested in buying an Emag Extreme, I calculated and Turned over the Exchange rates. If they are using Euro Money then the Extrme is actually only $666.and something cents in US money. So I don't get it, Why so much in the US?

                  Actually, despite what the website says, I dont think they have been released in Europe yet.

                      True, i guess i never took that into consideration. It is in a way good that alot of the AGD products are released in Europe first so that way they have all the bugs and so on worked out by the time they are released to the public here.
