Also, playback of PAL on an NTSC TV will never look perfect (or even better than the NTSC) and you're not going to get the "extra" resolution either. You're just going to get speed-up and some artifacts (which vary depending on your playback machine).Ah , but not everyone lives in the US . For those of us outside America who have TVs that will accept a higher resolution an NTSC disc represents a drop in quality , pure and simple .
As to PAL speed up ... I can honestly say I've never noticed on Brotherhood of the Wolf which I own in both PAL and NTSC , haven't noticed it with Spartaus or In the Mood for Love either (which I just had to buy the Criterions for the great extras) . Are you sure you can tell a difference , or is this just something (mainly American) people tell themselves as a consolation that the step down in resolution isn't so bad after all . (just a joke)
