Mobile gamers rejoice!

Sony’s Playstation Vita will be in stores Wednesday.

Elliot Chun from Future Shop tells 660News gamers will love the visual experience.

“A beautiful five inch Organic Light Emitting Diode front display screen, meaning it’s O.L.E.D front display top of the line quality. They’ve incorporated both front and rear facing cameras and that’s great for either augmented reality style games or using them as an actual device to take photos,” Chun says.

The vita includes dual analog sticks and a touch pad on the rear of the device.

Chun adds you can check e-mails and web browse on the Vita, just like a tablet.
