Yea I know, it just amazes me they limited such a good player to ntsc only.
Most of the good-to-great LD players are NTSC, due to the huge acceptance of the LD format in Japan, and the moderate success of LDs in North America.

I've heard (from people who know more about LD players than I do) that even the best PAL LD players were mediocre, at best, when compared to just mid-level NTSC players.

Pioneer made the best players, and being a Japanese company, I guess they just didn't put much effort into PAL players.
