In fact, I may end up having to buy a \'poopy PAL\' system so I can play those games here in Canada, so quit yer whining, a wait of a few months is nothing compared to a wait of...FOREVER...

Out here in PAL land we NEVER got Parasite Eve or Final Fantasy Tactics. There are a few others too that I cant think of at the moment. Xenogears. I think thats what it\'s called and Boshido Blade 2 etc.....

Well I spotted a review of Ring of red on cybernet (naff videogames show on itv late at night) so cant be that long until it hits these shores, saying that I havent seen any mention of it on gameplay.com where I usually order from so... Also on Cybernet tonight was some great footage of Wipeout fusion showing a semi transparant loop and loads of high speed thrills all in glorious high res (well compared to what movies Ive seen on the net sofar) catch the repeat later this week/early next week if you can.

As for the NTSC/PAL thing, PAL users get the short end of the stick without doubt, we wait for months for a game to be released and nine times out of ten we get a rough title with borders both top and bottom and runs substantially slower than its NTSC counterpart, at the _very least_ the developers and publishers should give us a option to run it at 60hz -for those who have tvs which can handle it or ideally gives us full screen 50hz. Suppose its time for me to shutup and buy what they ship, its not like I have much choice. sigh.

I personally reckon with the advent of Digital satellite here in the uk, and the increase of affordable quality
televisions, that about 75% of the UK poulation have a NTSC capable television set. Sony should know this,
they make televisions and have access to sales figures in the UK. Most sony televisions have NTSC compatibility
so it seems dumb that so many Pal PS2 games have no 60hz option. Is that a fair assumption?

Yeah I would say so. Its a sorry situation, which is mainly plain anonying. I mean I wouldn\'t mind, I don\'t take it personally but when there seems to be no decent valid reasons why do Sony hold off these games for PAL gamers, and it certainly ain\'t converstion.
