Well, on the one hand I don't see how this approach would *add* in any way to the gaming experience of the PAL player (I live on planet PAL, too BTW :-)), on the other hand, I'd say that it'd probably look even worse on PAL screens, since adding those 20% would change the aspect-ratio as well, which might result in an odd looking screen anyway. That is, if you don't grow the PAL skeletons 20% as well. Another thing on the minus side is, that you always say "Can't do this/that, because of the PAL version", so in any way, I'd rather sacrifice the big-screen for maybe 10% of your targeted customers and invest the gained ROM into features that really *add* to the gameplay.
