PAL ps3 limited to 50 hz in sdtv and hdtv?

From reading on various forums it seems that Pal/Ntsc speed problem still exsists even with hd (they still output as 50hz or 60hz)

Is it true Pal Ps3's are limited to a 50hz output even in hd modes

Can anyone confirm this?

So if you have a Pal Ps3 and an hdtv your games are still going to be 17.5% slower than an Ntsc Ps3 and hdtv?

So what is the point in buying a Pal Ps3 then?

Hmm not sure :( sux if it;s tru tho, and it wouldn't surprise me tbh as we usually get teh shaft from Sony / Nintendo over here :(

I'll check it out later an dmay post my resutls from Resistance...

Ade.

My PAL PS3 does 60 Hz. It's always 720p, 60 Hz or 1080i, 60 Hz.
