The USD prices are updated once or twice a year (I think it's actually once--in the late summer/early Fall IIRC).
You can, however, buy the pass online denominated in EUR directly from the Bahn; they will mail them to you in the US.

They charge 3.50EUR for shipping and accept Mastercard, Visa, American Express, Diners, JCB
You can also buy the rail pass at some German train stations (but not all); I can't seem to find the list on bahn.de of possible stations. I think the pass sold at the stations may also only be available for 10 or 15 days, and not for all of the possible number of days combinations.
