Bryan proves my point. His 3:05 is equal to 2:34 on PAL. He could have gotten an Elvis at least 7 seconds faster, and still manages to untie the NTSC WR by 4 seconds.
Dan, why would a PAL player play Invest, Extraction, Rescue, Air Base, AF1, CI, MBR, and Maian SA/PA? I mean, they can only get like 90 points on each level, so why bother? With your logic, if you were a PAL only player you'd only play half the levels and end up with 3000 points. In fact, you may as well not play at all because NTSC seems to have a slight advantage in every level (except DS and Maian).
