Though Toys 'R Us seem to be out of them, Kaybee Toys in other states (not California) may still have them. I will be in Las Vegas, Nevada in a few days and check with Kaybee there. Happy New Year!

Actually, it depends. There are an increasing number of devices which will show PAL inputs on AV inputs ... just because the appeal of economies of scale across Europe, US and Oceania for (eg) Chinese manufacturers. I was surprised to see that the AV inputs on our new LCD TV claim that it accepts NTSC (American style), PAL-1 or PAL-SECAM. |
