I completely see where you coming from in terms lines of resolution PAL vs NTSC... but for me I compared the output from my XBox that plays the PAL version, my PC output, and that of the coversion I did for my NTSC Denon. To my eyes the Denon, with my conversion looks better for my particlar setup. Progressive scan vs hardware upscaling are two very different things. The raw PAL version when blown up(again this is for my setup) looked more noisy and had jaggy issues. The Forudja chip in my Denon really makes jaggies go away and also limits noise, even more so than my PC.... better algorithms I suppose. Overall it just made the viewing experience better for me. To each his own that's all.

Plus it seems silly for me to by extra hardware when I own software that can convert PAL to NTSC properly without any picture stuttering or sound issues...

OK we should be doen hijacking this thread... sorry.
