The PS's in Britain (& most of the world) are 17.5% slower than the Jap & US 
machines because we have the PAL television signal which uses 625 lines on a 
television instead of 525 like NTSC..  thats why most PAL games have big 
black borders (to cover the 100 extra lines)..  & b'cause they run at 50hz 
(which means the display is updated 50 times a second) whereas with NTSC, 
your tv's have a refresh rate of 60hz..
