How to Convert an NTSC PS3 to a PAL

The Sony Playstation 3 was meant to be played on an HDTV, which is neither PAL or NTSC. The HDTV signal is universal anywhere you go, so converting a Sony Playstation 3 from one format to another is not only impossible, it is next to useless. If you are using your Sony Playstation 3 to watch movies and are unable to because it is in a different format, the best solution is to convert the media and not the hardware.
