It is available here in the U.S. at many record stores, I've seen it at Tower and Sam Goody's. I am sure Amazon or Barnes and Noble will carry it along with other outlets.

PAL is a broadcast standard, used in most of Europe and other parts of the globe. Here in the United States we use NTSC. There are a few other standards such as PAL-M and SECAM.   If you purchase a PAL DVD or PAL VHS, it won't play in a U.S. deck, unless you have a multi-standard. One trick, PAL DVD's will play in most computers.
