PAL is the name of the TV format in Europe and Australia

NTSC is what we have in the states and Japan

The frequency refresh rate is different and I do believe and it forces developers to have to make serious changes to there games to get them to run on PAL machines

devsd usually don\'t bother so they end up with this nast black border that surrounds the screen reducing the viewing area

its pretty much Bull****, and it screws our European and Aussie Bretheren

The mayn diff. between PAL and NTSC is the higher resolution of PAL... PAL has about 600 horizontal lines and NTSC 500 (a bit more or less). Most games are from JAP, so those must be "fixed" to fill the whole screen in PAL-Format, otherwise something is missed = black borders !

FFX PAL isn´t that bad, but if it´s the same problem with FFXI, than I´ll buy the US Vers. of that game !!!

Thumbs Up! to Sega for making their games auto-adjust to PAL and NTSC.

July 2002: If you had bought $1000.00 worth of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth $49.00. Enron, $16.50 left. Worldcom, $5.00 left. If you had bought $1,000.00 worth of Budweiser beer one year ago, drank it all and turned in the cans for the 10 cent deposit, you would have $214.00. Based on the above, my current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle.

Its all moot now

in about 3 - 5 years or by the time of the PS3 there will be a HDTV format options on all games

and in about 5 -10 years the world should all be on the same format

I hope they can develop the OLED tech fast enough.. Seems to be the next biggest thing.
