NTSC offers a 20 higher frame rate compared to PAL (60 fps vs 50 fps), however, that’s at the expense of color accuracy. Again USD, not sure how the exchange rate is down under but I assume it isn't very different. PAL offers a 20 higher resolution compared to NTSC (576p vs 480p), however, some NTSC to PAL game conversions, cover the extra space with black borders instead of offering more detail. you'll save a lot of money, but expect to shell out $20-$30 per game for those "classic must-haves" like Ocarina of Time, Mario Kart 64, Goldeneye, etc. If you're just playing the games and not interested in collecting - not concerned with the condition of the cart, if it comes with a box, etc. I've seen boxed versions of Majora's Mask going for over $150 (USD). Price-wise you're generally looking at no difference between versions, although N64 games now-a-days can be pricey in general. I recommend getting an NTSC console you'll probably find games more easily, even in Australia where PAL is the standard because you'll most likely be getting most of your games online, where NTSC is pretty much a de-facto standard - meaning most games you find for sale are assumed to be NTSC, while PAL versions are usually marked as such and sometimes can be harder to find. You can run Project64 all day, even with a controller, plugged into a TV, the whole 9 yards, but it will pale in comparison to playing the real thing.
