He is talking about the JT Genisis marker pack.
Spyder with a new badge basically (sure to get flamed on that, but they look so similar).
In answer to the original question ...yes a good deal if you want to start out in paintball, however you will very quickly(if bitten by the bug) want to upgrade so my advice, is for you to keep renting markers and try other peoples, save some more $'s and then look on e-bay or on the classfieds forum on here and buy something used (not saying what marker as that is down to you as to what you try and like but your money will be better spent that way). If you buy a Genisis or Spyder or similar think how much you will get in return when you come to sell it.

ya usually get about half of what u paid for it it comes as such a pain for me..... i have a talen ghost a BE Xact mask and im selling the talen the mask 16 co2's a 45 hopper barrel plug and stuff for $30:( i paid $40 for the talen when it came out and $20 for the mask..... and as for my rebel well that was $200 and was gonna sell it for $125 but i got my new $50 barrel for it so when i eventually sell it i will sell it for $150 unless i get more upgrads for it ...... but the money i save up and sell my rebel for goes for an autococker:D but untill summer all the money i go to goes to gear like the protius mask that just came yestersday, the pods im saving up for, the jersey im saving up for, then like a case of paint...... lol it all matters what ur going to do with it..... my rebel was a good upgrade from a talen and an autococker will be a better upgrade from the rebel but like i said and they said it matters on what ur looking for how much u want to spend and how much u want to get back for it when u sell it.:)

I've played with a Genisis last year. Nice blowback gun. Easy to shoot, nice crisp trigger.

You'll like the performance, trust me. Easy to maintain, and nice shooting gun.

ADDED BONUS POST

Ok, I'm looking at the player pack now, some opinions :

Genesis : Get a tank for it

JT Goggle System : If you don' thave goggles, you'll need these. Otherwise, sell 'em to a newbie. :)

VL Proflex Squeegee : Not the best, but it will work. Mostly. Stick squeegies work better in field.

VL200 Count Hopper : Get a motorloader.

Paintball 101 video : Cheezy video, but fun for 15 minutes.

and Barrel Plug : You need this too, don't lose it.
