Not with my PSX games. I'd cost me a fortune to rebuy all my games with NTSC versions. It's bad enough that I like my games to be "as original as possible" (as in: no platinum versions, if they're 1996/7 I like having them without the PlayStation mark and in the old-school double CD-cases.) I've bought the original Tekken numerous times because my original was platinum with no manual, second one was the cardboard ex-rental, and the third (and one i use right now) is the total original. I take pride in knowing that I have the original Ridge Racer and Battle Arena Toshinden, the games that started it all.

It started with the Gamecube when I realised Nintendo was taking the piss out of Europeans with their retarded European GameCube. And I'm taking a wiiiiiiild guess I'm not the only European who uses at least S-Video. Then I made the decision to buy North American PlayStation 3 and Revolution consoles, so I might as well get North American PS2 games just incase the head of Sony Australia was talking crap about the PS3 being region free.

And since I use a TV-in card for my PS2 and GameCube, there's no real concern about using NTSC.
