I know there was a post like this on the old forum, but for the life of me I cannot find it! So forgive me if anyone is having to re-cycle their answer ...
I'm totally new to the PS2 world and the excitement of WE8 (slowdowns aside) has got me thinking about getting one.
Like most of you, I'm quite fussy when it comes to full screen, fast, sharp visual quality and regional compatibility (as a Gamecube man, I have a region switch modded machine running NTSC games only via VGA or component).
1. I noted that the PS2 has a PAL60 option on PAL games and can output RGB. Will an NTSC game running on a PAL PS2 therefore provide the same visual experience and speed as if it were running on an NTSC machine?
2. So assuming I get a modded PAL PS2 that by-passes region protection, is there any reason (advantages) for opting for a JPN or USA NTSC PS2 instead?
Note: I'm not too bothered about PAL game compatibility nor going online, I'm just thinking it's easier to get hold of a PAL PS2 walking into a shop, versus having to import a unit and risk customs hassles etc.
Cheers
