US is a NTSC region, yes.

Not to be confused with NTSC-J, which is Japanese.

The easiest way to be sure: buy it in a US store

It's dangerous to go alone! Stay at home.

Europe region is Pal, NTSC is a USA.

Yes, the United States is an NTSC region. I think Japan is an NTSC region too(note that current Nintendo systems are still region locked).

PAL stands for Phase Alternating Line.

NTSC and PAL aren't region codes, they're SD video standards, and they don't really exist anymore in the HD world.

NTSC is 480 lines (as opposed to 1080 with HD) and PAL is 576.

Video standards... The dark age of gaming when the legendary "Black Lines" were afflicting almost all PAL games ported from NTSC regions!!! (should I feel old as gamer for remembering that? XD)

This is true, but I think the two terms have just come to colloquially refer to different hardware regions. Would be less confusing if the video game industry just adopted bluray region codes.
