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.

New Vita 2000 owners compare their devices in Japan

With the Vita 2000 launching in Japan overnight, here's all the news and info on its arrival, with pics and any scenery dressing I can provide via the power of Twitter....

Here we have an early unboxing video (actually a series of 8)... like the fact that the AR cards are now reduced to a sheet of printed paper (cut out your own), other difference include the replaceable battery on the new model, and some slightly slower using. The internal memory is also unusable when you insert your own memory card (duh!)

Remember though, Sony is trying to get new gamers on-board, so only us oldies will grumble about these changes (although it might increase the value and sales of the original model).

To help sell the Vita, Square finally announced an on-sale date for FFX-HD, on December 26, with a dual-game bundle that's the same price as the PS3 Blu-ray edition, nice move (for once) Square. Love the piece of art they've, released to celebrate.


Here's some happy Americans on tour who picked up their new Vita months before any hope of seeing it on their home soil. Not much sign of a queue there though.



Thousands of happy new Vita LCD 2000 owners have ripped open their boxes and immediately started comparing the image quality with the OLED model. I'll post more pics as they arrive and any news of sales, queues, bargains and other details.
