I don't think thats true, I don't own one but the research I did leads to No... Most, if not all, NTSC readers cannot read PAL format.

he is buying bluray, which leads me to believe that he has an HDTV, so NTSC & PAL dont matter since those are the standard definition requirements.

Typically all movies released on Blu-ray are encoded at 1080P24, there fore playable in both NTSC and PAL areas. But Blu-ray's can be region encoded and more recently newer releases that have not made it across the pond either way are region coded. There are also exceptions to this, some of the first movies released in Europe were encoded as 1080i50, with the PAL speedup applied, thus making then unplayable in North America.

That looks awesome. I'm looking for some way to decorate the bare walls of my new apartment. Did you tile print that on white construction paper?

I used Rasterbator. Then, I cut out the white borders and pasted them onto construction paper. You can't tell but it's silver, red and black that's it's pasted on. Then mounted it with those mounting adhesives. Total cost was like $6. I've seen it done way better. Once I'm out of uni, I definitely want to use better ways of mounting. But since this is for my dorm room, it will suffice.

I used my free printing at my university since that wouldve killed all of my ink lol.

I got rid of my old black Porter man-bag/murse, and got myself a new Takeo Kikuchi. It's dark grey and brown, with brown leather bits. Awesomeness! It would be severely expensive in most countries, but this sort of thing really isn't in Japan, where every guy has bags, and competition probably drives prices down a bit.

Oh, and it's perfect size. It's definitely not big enough for my MacBook (which I have a separate bag for), but would be large enough for a netbook (when I get one). ;)

He said he used the free printing he gets as his university to print it.

It does look incredible though. I may start rasturbating as well.

SHE, lol.

...and the 6x6 uses 36 pages. I don't think it impacted the printers that much. For what it's worth, my uni has laser printers.

I had to re-buy this because the seller i purchased it from scammed me and never sent it. Amazon covered my loss and then I purchased it again from much better seller today for 11 dollars less than the last time!
