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..
