I must say that the USA is unlucky not having widespread support for PAL in DVD players and TVs. I know the pros/cons of NTSC and PAL - but at least here in Australia basically all TVs and DVD players can do both NTSC and PAL.

In the US, most players won't play PAL discs...or play them incorrectly.
