Lines and pixels are no more with HD because HD video eliminates the incompatibility between videos from different countries, since the same frame sizes are used worldwide. For instance, full 1080 HD is 1920x1080 pixels, 1080 HDV uses 1440x1080 pixels, and 720p uses 1280x720 pixels in any country. The problem that arises now is that HD >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> formats still have different frame rates between NTSC and PAL countries. While HD has unified the frame sizes, we are still stuck with "PAL" HD using 25 fps while "NTSC" HD uses 30fps.So NTSC is better seeing how it utilizes a higher frame rate with higher fields NTSC using 60 fields while PAL uses 50 fields and NTSC has higher hertz being 60hz while PAL uses 50
In this case I really prefer the PAL version.. And the sound sounds better in PAL, but some music are supposed to be fast.. And a lot of the games have a much better feel on them in NTSC.. Like Sonic for example.. Switching my PAL SEGA to be able to play in 60hz = a must do!
@andresdavid1228 Hm, Europe is slow, that's good in some games... US is fast brings a better swing to the music :S Hm, a really hard question :D I don't know :D
OK, here's the exact answer from a C64 enthusiast. Most C64 games play music by scanning the TV. Once the TV draws a specified scan line, the C64 bounces to a chunk of music, plays it, and then returns, waiting for the TV to draw the same line again. The reason why NTSC is faster than PAL is because NTSC TVs draw their screens at 60Hz, and PAL at 50 Hz. On a side note, the CPU of a NTSC 64 runs slightly faster than that of its PAL counterpart too.
@senorverde09 Interesting to see with the music is when you watch the memorymap at live, when c64 is playing some melody or drum beat you can see it reading the values (like a bitmap chart but with colors) green for reading, black/grey for data. (talking about ICU64, google)
No, American VHS tapes (and DVDs) run at normal speed, but your tapes (and DVDs) are 4% faster. This doesn't apply to Blu-Ray, though. If you want an explanation as to why, just Google "PAL speedup"
I know american tapes runs faster... one T-240 tape gives 4 hours of watching time, the same T-240 tape recorded on PAL vcr gives me 340 minutes... DVD... I get about 2 h playing time on single layer with SP

PAL is clearly better. It's not on crack and speed.
NTSC = Nauseating, Terrible, Shitty, Crap.

is it still the same right now? or only in old consols?

I think only old consoles... The same thing is for VHS tapes. American tapes runs faster than our do.

it seems much faster paced and a little higher pitched, although I'm not sure what that is supposed to mean, hahaha

it's because PAL runs on 50 Hz and NTSC uses 60 Hz so video games over there run slower than ours do. we were discussing that this morning on msn lol
