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.

Xperia Play even cheaper than two weeks ago

The Xperia Play is getting price cuts all over the place. A few weeks ago, it was Expansys, now its the new-to-me Chitter Chatter, doing a deal at £155 plus £5 free credit. Not bad at all for a gaming phone with a 5MP camera and Gingerbread.



However, this rush to the bottom does now sound like stores clearing it out, is that because it isn't selling well - or is there a new model in the pipeline? Sony did say it didn't see the need for a refresh, but with a whole herd of next-gen phones now arriving, perhaps one is needed sooner rather than later?

With the new iPhone 4S out packing awesome visual detail, the Xperia Play could soon find itself looking rather jaded in the fast-moving world of gaming-class phones.
