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! But he's had the energy and drive to do something about it, and met the right people to get the job done!  What first got you interested in Vectrex and what spawned the idea of a Mini version?

PlayStation Plus coming to PS Vita at E3

Sony wants more of your money. The greedy bastards not only expect us to pay for Sony's Music service, since the company won't put Spotify or LastFM on the Vita. To rent or buy movies, since U.K. Vitas don't have Netflix yet and now it is "offering" us PlayStation Plus.

That's fine for the PS3, which has masses of content to give away on a monthly basis, but the Vita is rather bereft of games right now. So, what can Sony offer? Well, we'll find out at E3, the move to cloud gaming might be an positive move, if the Vita can handle it. But the main reason folks sign up is for the free games and apart from an army of old PSP and PS One titles (which we can't currently play, something else Sony needs to announce at E3), then there's little to tempt us.
