Some of my demos are in black and white (from the us and japan store) crazy gold, nija gainden and armorcore 4 can some one explain why? My reason would be;

1) My tv aint HD but why dont other games go black and white
2) I need to change something around
3) There from us/japan store

Yeah what the guy above said.  The only reason you would get Black and White images is your TV doesn't support NTSC playback.  Which is really weird, is your TV hella old?

The demos on the US and Japan stores would be set up to run on NTSC sets for standard definition. Because you are using a PAL tv and a SCART connection they are going black and white on you. If you want the true colors you will have to eventually spring for a high-def tv and proper input cables.

All of which has nothing to do with this.  So what if you have a large standard definition TV?  What you need it a large standard definition TV that does PAL and NTSC playback.  Well actually what you really need is a HDTV that does PAL and NTSC playback and handles both 50 and 60 HZ HD. :)

Unfortunately there isn't much you can do then.  Just drop a lot of hints to your parents.  There are plenty of cheap SD TVs that do both PAL and NTSC.  Good luck with it.
