Well I'm happy with my PAL copy of the original Star Wars, apart from the 4% faster running time, though it does appear to have been pitch corrected, as the original THX VHS releases were BTW.
However it appears the PAL versions are merely upscaled from their NTSC counterparts from other comments on this forum. Would having the NTSC version yield better picture quality as it hasn't had to go through this upscalling process? Any comparison shots between the two would be great as I need to know whether to get the other two DVDs in PAL or NTSC.
Thanks!

Getting the original NTSC material would be better.
