If you’re sick of all the PlayStation Vita coverage of the past few weeks, you can finally find out what all the fuss is about for yourself, because the device has finally landed on store shelves in North America. The Vita gives gamers-on-the-go a second thumb stick, something we’ve been asking for since the PSP launched back in 2005. A front touchscreen, a rear touchpad, and graphics that rival the PS3 round out the device. It also has some augmented reality features.
