Oh, wow. I was actually going to crack a joke about that, I had no idea it was actually anything to do with it.

And you're lucky you're able to play it, us Brits have got to wait until next year to play it! Once again, the PAL regions get royally screwed.

Yeah, I've never really understood the long wait between NTSC and PAL.  There isn't THAT much coding difference between them, is there?

In some cases though, you guys get rewarded with some nifty extras, like with most Konami games, and even ICO.

My question is why do the two even exist?  Why not just use one or the other?

It's the multi-lingual support mostly, I think.  Most EU games ship with the likes of Spanish, Italian, German and French as selectable languages.  (not sure about portuguese, dutch or the Eastern European languages, actually)
