Need a Quick reply for a Quick Question

Is there any quality difference between NTSC and PAL.

Im gonna get the simpsons series one on dvd, and the PAL version cost £30 and the NTSC cost £15.

I have a multiregion dvd player, and a tv capable of playing NTSCs.

Im very keen on getting the NTSC vesion, but im not sure if the aspect will be screwed up or something.

Thanks for any replys

A very quick response!

Yes there are differences, but in this instance the differences are working in your favour. Although many people argue that PAL is superior to NTSC unless you have an expensive home cinema set up you really ae not likely to see any differences, especially in an ols animatd tv series. There are certainly no issues with aspect ratios.
Many collectors prefer to purchase american tv programs in their original NTSC format.
This is a real no-brainer - buy the region one and save yourself £15 I did!
