thanks for your long and detailed answers to my questions (and for sharing my joke). One thing I still don't get: if regions are independent of video standards, and region 2 includes both PAL and NTSC areas, what resolution are region 2 DVDs at?
True, if the following two things are also true:
1) The PAL telecine session is as good as or better than the NTSC session; and
2) A PAL LD player exists that is as good as or better than the best available NTSC one.
I can tell you from direct experience that it is unclear that (1) is true, and that (2) is (unfortunately) almost certainly not true. We're trying, though...

1) Does this have anything to do with the cropping issue of the PAL LDs vs NTSC LDs as seen at the end of the screenshots feedback thread?
2) I take it from this that the X0 and X9 players are NTSC only?
