NX Absolute Released in the US

In what is probably going to be the last arcade release of 2008 or the first of 2009 depending on how you look at it, one US distributor site is listing the latest installment of Andamiro’s Pump-It-Up series, NX Absolute as available for sale. We saw NX Absolute at IAAPA (as pictured above), so this isn’t a surprise but it should be welcome news for fans of the series who have been waiting for their local game facility to pick this up.  I have checked a few other distributor websites and they don’t have it listed yet but this one site is saying that the game is already in stock so I doubt they’d say that unless it was available. There is a standard (29″ CRT) and a deluxe (42″ Plasma) version available, with prices around $7200 & $11200 respectively (as always keep in mind that prices will vary between distributors). Has anyone out there had an opportunity to play both NX Absolute and DDR:X to see how they compare?
