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?

Start Saving; Sony's Tretton Hints at High NGP Price

This doesn't sound good, a note on GI.biz reckons that Sony could be preparing the world for a fairly steep NGP price. Tretton's words "I think when you're buying a platform, when you're buying technology, you're hopefully buying a device you're going to enjoy for many, many years," suggest this thing isn't going to be as cheap as rumoured.

Or, he could just be spouting off, as we've had a bunch of quotables from Mr. Tretton in the last few days and until something concrete happens, presumably at e3, then all of this remains just words. In practical terms, component pricing in Japan could go up quite a lot in the recovery from the earthquake, so whatever your best guess was it is probably time to start revising them up a little anyway.
