Eighty bucks for a PAL copy ?

There are plenty of NTSC games that are not as rare and still fetch higher prices

Yeah but the last few complete Pal copies I've seen sold for around £30... so £50 is quite high.

[Marco]

I guess that means that the value of a game is in the eye of the beholder / buyer, and not ours to determine.

How hard is it to convert a PAL cart to NTSC??

[CPUWIZ]

Easy but that would be forgery.

[deathtrappomegranate]

My UK TVs (3) can all use NTSC equipment with no problems. Similarly, PAL 2600s will still produce output from NTSC carts, albeit at 60Hz, which can then be displayed by any NTSC-capable TV.

 

Is the same thing true in the US?

 

It's clear that there is an advantage to TV manufacturers in Europe to make NTSC-compatible hardware, because electronics (HW/SW/everything) tends to be cheaper in the US. I wonder whether modern US TVs can accept PAL-format input?

 

There may not be the same imperative for cross-operability in the US.

[CPUWIZ]

There is quite a few TV's on the U.S. market now that can handle a PAL signal. They don't even cost that much more than a regular TV.

 

P.S. Nice snipe on the hidden Bumper Bash earlier.

I am impressed, rare carts like Chuckwagon can't do it but a PAL Motorodeo can, it's at $117.02 with 2 days to go.

 

For Marco:

That's because CtCW is common as dirt

Didn't that atari PAL guy (the guy who says "PAL rocks!") once say that this game was easy to find on ebay.fr or ebay.de?

You can find them all over the web. Just do a google search for emoticons.
