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.

Sony dropping game activations from 5 to 2 per user

It has always seemed a little excessive that you can download one game and play it on five machines. I mean, I get having a PSP and a PS3, and maybe a spare machine - but five? Anyway, Sony's putting an end to that from the middle of November, reducing the activations from 5 to 2 FOR NEW GAMES ONLY.

That means you can still have your old PSOne games or others across your PSP, PS3 and Vita - and will only need to download new games to your Vita and PS3. Makes sense to me, I'm sure a lot of gamers will moan, as they always do. If you have games registered to a bricked PS3 or PSP, you can use the website to deactivate them for installing on newer machines.

UPDATED - Sony's blog has the formal news

Sony says this is to keep the copyright holders happy, and if the Vita and future PS3 games *cough* Grand Theft Auto V *cough* are going to be downloaded by the majority only, then its fair enough. The update will take place in mid-November in Japan and presumably by rolled out everywhere else shortly after.
