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. Of course, I had seen it in stores back in 1983, but at that time it was far too expensive for me.  Today, I own five Vectrex systems at home. Vector-based games ...

Vita prices on the way down ahead of E3

This could be coincidence, but I got an email from Amazon this morning with Vita 2000 consoles down to £139. That's down from £169 last week, although the price has fluctuated up and down over the months. That comes on the heels of US sites and stores reducing the prices of PS TV and Vita memory cards.

Game also has it at £129, and I'm sure the few other places that still sell the Vita will be adjusting things soon. So, while there's no particular guarantee of an E3 price cut, it looks like stores are trying to sell them while they can, before any official price cut, perhaps to £109 or £119, kicks in next week. With most games in the catalogue now between £10-15 for boxed copies or regularly on sale on PSN, the Vita is becoming quite the gaming bargain.

Also, note the 64GB import memory card is only a little more than the official 32GB card, if you can afford it, you'd be mad not to pick one up.
