Speaking to IndustryGamers, Wedbush Morgan's outspoken games analyst has said that he regrets saying that are ripping people off over the pricing of the new Go handheld.

"I sincerely regret the choice of words in my response to Geoff Keighley's question in last week's Bonus Round, where I said that Sony is 'ripping off' the consumer by pricing the at 249.99 USD," Pachter explained.

"I made a poor choice of words, and I do NOT think that Sony is doing anything nefarious in choosing their pricing strategy."

The PSP Go will arrive on October 1st worldwide, and will cost 249 Euro on the continent, as well.
