Pal? Ntsc?

Yes I read the link, and I already knew most of that, so if you don't like people typing what's on top of there mind, then keep it to your self!
And where the hell did you read that about DVD being PAL?

There are 8 regions (also called "locales"). Each region is assigned a number. Players and discs are often identified by the region number superimposed on a world globe. If a disc plays in more than one region it will have more than one number on the globe.
1: U.S., Canada, U.S. Territories
2: Japan, Europe, South Africa, and Middle East (including Egypt)
3: Southeast Asia and East Asia (including Hong Kong)
4: Australia, New Zealand, Pacific Islands, Central America, Mexico, South America, and the Caribbean
5: Eastern Europe (Former Soviet Union), Indian subcontinent, Africa, North Korea, and Mongolia
6: China
7: Reserved
8: Special international venues (airplanes, cruise ships, etc.)

Wrong. Japan DVD is PAL. Check it yourself

There are 8 regions [truncated]

The problem here is that you are mixing up DVD regions and TV/Video standards. Yes, Japan and Europe both adhere to region 2. This does not, however, mean that they have to use the same video standard.

Europe uses PAL and Japan uses NTSC. The DVDs sold in Europe are not necessarily the same as the ones sold in Japan even if they happen to share the same region.

I'm not implying any of the sort
I was just saying I knew japan was using PAL for dvds.

And this is the core of it all; Japan is NOT "using PAL for dvds."

The DVD region system has nothing to do with the TV/Video standard used in specific parts of the area that the region cover.

Yes, Europe and Japan both belong to region 2. But this does not mean that "japan was using PAL for dvds."

When the DVDs are manufactured the difference is that the movie is encoded to PAL for all the discs shipped to Europe and the same movie is encoded to NTSC for all discs that ship to Japan. Of course, both discs still have the region code set to "2", but that, my friend, does not mean that all discs with a 2 have to be PAL-only (or NTSC-only for that matter).
