I might be over-simplifying things, but this seems like a bit of a downwards step for Mr. Harrison.

By the way, who is the mysterious "David"? Does he have but one name, like Cher and Grimlock?

Damned good call. I have slaughtered the writer responsible by slow strangulation with my Bristol Rovers (1991 - Roman Glass sponsored) soccer-ball shirt.

Phil Harrison is one of the retarded Trio from Sony no doubt he will definently be the end of Atari cant wait!

Can't have been that bad if he helped lead PlayStation2 to achieve as many sales as it has, along with some quality games to back it up with.

Sure, he's had a bit of a s**t last 12 months, but so have Sony.

Even though I disliked Sony some years ago when he was making waves, he still had a charismatic air about him. Probably because he was a Brit and dammit that means something to us patriots!

I'll miss his rubber duckies.

Good lord, what utter nonsense. In comparison to you SS4, Phil is a god-like figure :-) And what did Atari ever do to you? Oh wait, you probably had a Lynx when everyone at school had a Gameboy. You're not still bitter about that are you?

Spong - are you sure that SS4 messages aren't written by a bot to spark controversy?

To the story, I'm quite impressed with the move by PH - I agree with the 1st post that this does *appear* to be a downward step for him though, he had one of the most prestigious jobs available and now he is involved in a company that could very easily implode within weeks or months.

I say he must have his reasons though and I wish him, and Atari, good luck.
