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. I only really discovered the console world in the late 90s, which is when I got my very first Vectrex.

PSN EU Update: Metal Gear, YouTube, Jonah Lomu and Ridge Race Ultimate plus that huge sale!

The PS EU Store update post has been made (actually update between 3&4PM UK time, with most of these releases probably not happening until Friday) with a decent roster of Vita games.

Top of the list is Metal Gear HD Collection, which arguments about it not being in HD or a proper collection aside, is pretty damn hot gaming. The pack is only £19.99 which is annoyingly less than I pre-ordered for, but not by much. It does weigh in at 3.3Gb however, so you might be better off getting the physical version if you're low on space.

Evergreen Jonah Lomu Rugby makes it over to our shores, at the rather pricey £39.99

Ridge Racer Ultimate Edition (should be available today, as all the stuff is already in the store) offers all the passes, tracks and music for one price £19.99 which is what I paid for the rather weedy first version, hey-ho!

Next up is the YouTube app, which is free and has been discussed already.

Apparently, there's a small patch already, so refresh your LiveArea once downloaded to get the best experience out of it. On the DLC side, we have:
Gravity Rush
Spy Mission Pack – Gravity Rush
Prices: £3.19,€3.99,AU$6.95

Pure Chess
Pure Chess Forest Vita
Prices: £1.59,€1.99,AU$3.45

Touch My Katamari

And under no circumstances must you miss the PSP game sale with some of the top titles on the venerable format getting awesome discounts.
