Re: George Michael R.I.P.

I have ordered a copy of "The Final" CD/DVD from JB Hi-Fi. It will take them up to four weeks to import it. If it's NTSC, is it lesser quality than Pal?

Most people are probably OK with it, it's just one of my pet hates that something is lazily released in NTSC only, because North American customers don't often have PAL-compatible players/TVs - especially when the artist is from a PAL country or had more success in PAL regions.

NTSC is lower resolution than PAL (480 lines vs 576 lines), so the colours appear duller/more drab. NTSC has a higher frame-rate though, so fast moving shots will appear smoother. But PAL looks better and brighter.
