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!

Or it could signal that Sony has something to help drive a price cut to be announced at E3. These new parts are probably only saving Sony a few cents, but overall it could help knock down enough of the cost to help Sony trim the price.
