Region is region, and NTSC vs PAL is NTSC vs PAL.
The region code is just a number, and the player is supposed to check
the number and say "Wrong region" and refuse to play a disc if the
region is ... wrong.
For instance, there are other regions besides 1 that are NTSC (Japan,
IIRC). You won't be able to play a Japanese disc without hacking your
player for region.
But after you hack your player for region, you still won't be able to
play a PAL disc unless your player can convert.
Usually the cheapest players are the ones with both capabilities or
hackabilities (and maybe even the ability to ignore copy protection as
well).
Go to videohelp.com and check things out.
