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? I’ve always been passionate about retro-gaming, but my first love was computers rather than consoles — the ZX81, then the Commodore 128.

PlayStation Vita TV looks a real handful

PlayStation TV will be the budget entry in the family when it releases in the west later this year. At just $99/€99 (hopefully £80) it will provide access to PlayStation Now streaming, Vita games, PS One titles and second-screen PS4 streaming, which is a lot of activity in a PS heavy household. But will anyone else buy it?

UPDATE - Price confirmed at £85 which isn't too bad. Will pick one up, assuming we finally get Netflix, Amazon Instant, Cruncyroll and others in Europe.

Sales collapsed after launch in Japan, as it can't play all Vita games, so everyone will be expecting it to fail over here, but who knows. Here's some western images, showing its relative size and features. A $139 bundle will come with controller, HDMI cable and Lego Movie PSN code.
