Vectrex Mini interview - David Oghia talks up the nostalgic vector powerhouse

Having been wowed by the news of the Vectrex Mini at Gamescom , I rushed off some questions to VectrexOn's main man  David Oghia . After a post-event, well earned, break, he's kindly given us a lot of detail about the project and some new images of the unit to share.  His story mirrors mine somewhat, Vectrex represents a glowing, unaffordable, obelisk of gaming power from our youth!

Xperia Play to get Android Update

There are also security updates and fixes, but it looks like gamers will have to wait until E3 to hear anything about new games or gaming services. The update will hit next week, probably the same time of the US launch.



I'm still betting my ass that Xperia Play 2 will be announced later this year and offer a PlayStation 2 games library, either in to buy or rental form, the power is there in the processors to handle it and the PSOne library seems to have run into a dead end. Which will come as a shame to those Americans who can only buy the phone Mk. 1 phone from next week.
