Ok I don't understand how these things could be the least bit helpful, other than saving money.
I mean, ok so you shoot them, then what?  Pick all 500+ of them up?  No thanks.  So basically the only way you can use them is if you have some sort of a net, or something else that can stop them from going astray.  I just don't see why people would want to bother buying them...

Because they are re-useable?

Yeah at pbgear.com they have them.  They're supposed to be .68 calibre paintballs with just rubber I think.  How do you tell if the oponent is out?  There would be no paint?

They're for people who want to train without waisting paint.  Simple.

I totally understand that, but you will spend more time picking them up than you will using them...

shoot targets that are in front of a wall.. not so bad to pick up. better yet if you're not in grass.

i use reballs on pavement and the target is large and not too hard. they usually fall not too far from the target.

I'm sure velcro does fine things for your internals.

velcro doesn't hurt your internals .. it's just horribly inaccurate

They should put a little bit of metal in them so you can a magnet over them.

After all these posts I bet you feel very dumb for what you said.  You can use them for practice, but they can be used in games.

I want reballs. I'm tired calibrating my gun and wasting paint at the same time. Now, I will only have to calibrate and save some money. Air refills aren't too much, but sometimes my jerkface paintball shop owners jip me and don't fill it all the way.
My sig is stupid.

They actually look pretty useful. Just have a slightly angled floor with that thing in it like the video youm0nt has.
