I dont think the ntsc/pal makes a difference, its like above if its region locked or not, isnt the release date global anyway ?

It does, All games from the USA are in NTSC format, our consoles need PAL format in order to play, plus 99% of games are region locked.

If your lookng for region free or PAL try Buy Video Games for Consoles and PC - From Japan, Korea and other Regions! - Play-Asia.com although not all there PAL games are English speaking, theres some cheap copies of Halo 3 on there but they all speak Japanese

I don't think PAL/NTSC had anything to do with HD formats/signals.

Thanks for the Play-Asia site. It shows what titles are region locked and it looks as though PGR 4 is.

Plus it isn't out until October 12th -- I thought it was this week.
