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?

Here's that PS Vita summer campaign video in English as a price cut looms

Found this in various continental European languages a couple of weeks back, now its finally out in English, helping Sony promote the Vita as a summer-holiday essential for the kids with the mega bundle. Interestingly over the weekend, Sony's Annual Report suggested that a price cut could be imminent, saying.



"For PlayStation Vita, we aim to secure sales and profit growth through various hardware sales initiatives and the release of compelling software titles." Of course, that could just mean more bundles, but the comment found on page 10 of the report hints that at least Sony has some kind of plan.

The mega bundle is No. 2 on Amazon's best-selling Vita chart, not a difficult achievement, but isn't in the top 100 on the video games best-sellers, suggesting its not grabbing that much attention, or the campaign hasn't kicked off yet? Has any seen the ad on TV?
