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!

Improved Vita Value Pack hits Japan in November

Sony is upgrading its Value Pack offer in Japan with a new bundle out in November. Packing in an 8GB stick, 15 days of PS+ plus free-to-play games, it comes with JUDAS CODE, Chain Chronicle V and Destiny of Spirits Asia. Apparently, these are installed on the card, not download codes.


There's also boosters for Phantasy Star Nova, Monster Hunter Frontier codes and other goodies to add some serious value. It will be available in red, blue or black with 3G and costs £19,980 yen which is around £115 (plus taxes).

While it lacks mega-game value, this sounds like a decent deal and could help shift some hardware in the run up to the holidays.
