No japan and USA are NTSC, and australia and europe are PAL. France i believe still use SECAM.
But with all this high def shit it doesn't make much difference anyways, it's not really pal or ntsc anymore, cos originialy i think pal had 576 verticle lines compared to 480 on ntsc, but ntsc had a higher refresh rate, but with 720P. 1080i, 1080P etc etc those old standards of broadcasting are out the window.
