If you are keen to try PAL DVDs you have the additional problem of having a TV set which will handle both NTSC & PAL. Most sets sold here uniformly do both but I gather this is not the case in the US although some must be available. If you became very keen and purchased a dual mode player from overseas then you might also need a step down transformer 240 volts -> 120 volts.

My appraisal of the world DVD scene, having purchased software from the USA, UK and locally, is that there is not a huge difference in price but the USA has a much larger catalog. Quality wise PAL does give richer colours and more lines per inch but NTSC can be close. Good NTSC software is fine but outstanding software in any format is not as common as it should be - but I'm getting off topic on to another hobby horse!
