That depends how you define perfect... the PAL version has 25% more pixels (and go-faster stripes)

Perfect as in, the jaggedy outlines that would show when I watch a PAL disc on my NTSC television won't be an issue.

I have some region 2 discs, and though they look good, they're not displayed in the same quality as a region 1 disc is. If I had a PAL TV as well, then it would be true "perfection." Haha. Anyway, I'm sure you know what I'm on about.

My main objective in getting a region-free player was always to buy World Rally Championship discs from the UK, and I've been able to do that, so I'm really happy with it. Got The Catherine Tate Show, too.

P.S. Your "go-faster stripes" comment reminds me of Jeremy Clarkson, and also the fact that Top Gear is starting again soon! Can't wait!
