Games in NTSC run at 60 frames per second while PAL at 50 frames per second. So if you want to play Street Fighter then 60 fps would like much better. However, it really wouldn't matter for a RPG! It has mostly to do with the fact that people buy NTSC games because they are released much sooner. Don't ask me why!!! I hear people complain about this too often because they don't understand marketing, programming or the game industry. We can have a thread that can go on forever about game release dates but I won't take part in it. This is all I have to say :) George "James Banks" wrote in message news:8dc85o$18e1@chuka.playstation.co.uk... > Further to my original question, why do people prefer NTSC versions of > games to the PAL versions ??
