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?

Will Sky Go Land on the PS Vita?

Way back when, in the UK, Sky briefly offered a service where PSP owners could download Sky Sports and TV content to watch on their consoles. It was a neat prototype before the many phone-based iPlayer-like services hit. Now, Sky Go is a massive expansion of that theme, currently for iPhones and iPads plus PCs.



Current Sky Subscribers get it free, non-subs can get it for a monthly subscription. Currently the service offers the four Sky Sports and News channels, all wrapped in a neat interface and using WiFi or 3G. Its not too hard to imagine the Sony Vita getting such an app or service. And, as Sky has divisions around the world, it could play happily in Australia, Italy and other territories.

Hopefully, others will follow and the Sony Vita with that lovely screen could soon play home to all your favourite entertainment. Check out the great trailer for Sky Go...
