The usual framerate of PAL ones are 25.00 fps (50?), and NTSC ones are 29.97 to 30.00 fps (60?).

Convert a PAL game to run on NTSC but with fine video formatting, and have a nice and fun 20% slower game! (tested on Devil May Cry 3: Special Edition -- game goes slower when fooled around with, but game timer slows down as well)

NTCS is the video format we have in the United States. PAL is the video formate used in the United Kingdoms. There's something to do with the number of frames that pass by every second during video play (I think PAL has more and is, thus, higher quality). I don't really know the specifics.

o.O is what is known as an emoticon. This particular emoticon is meant to represent the emotion of confusion or shock. It's a sort of bug-eyed expression (think of a cartoon character with his eyes popping out because something has just startled him).

Yes there is more different between the two. PAL has a higher quality than NTCS as well.

It's odd that there are two formated and one has a slower frame rate than NSTC. I can just change the frame rate and boom it's done. Or maybe I'm wrong and some things are diffrent between the NSTC and PAL than just the frame rate.

I'll go to the bank and withdraw $100 bucks. 50 for the game, 50 for spending money. Also according to the official Playstation site TEN is a 1 player game..

I always set aside $50 for the next spyro game. I like to spend money, so I need to do that.

Wow, I don't even know if I'll be able to get it in the same month it comes out (Probabbly not, since we still haven't started the newspappper crew back up again). It's the same way with all my games, cause I'm lower class. Oh well! At least I know I'll get it eventually.

*bleep* it, what's the real release date of this one anyway? Whatever's the case, my periodical exams are at the second or 3rd week of October, rendering me a weeks delay of playing it >__<

One thing I hope that will happen (which probably won't) is that they have an early product arrival (like the new Harry Potter book) and people get the game before anyone else.

Lucky girl! I need to find a way to preorder mine as well. I've got sooo many things going on in Oct. that I'll have almost no time to go to the store.
Smart move by checking the feedback and what not too.
