According to sources at
GI.biz, the former head of Sony Worldwide Studios, Phil Harrison, will
leave the company at the end of the week to join Atari. A puzzling acquisition, if true. Atari hasn't been known for its
success in the industry, and many see it as a
sinking ship. Of course, the same could've been said about the PlayStation brand just a year ago. Since then, under Harrison's leadership, the company has seen a dramatic turnaround in sales and image.
Perhaps Harrison can work his magic on Atari as well? Stay tuned for the latest developments.

It would be nice to see the Atari mean something again. Just the mention stirs old memories in me.

I think Phil thrives on the challenge of making companies successful again.

With MANY high profile resignations this season, is it just me or has everyone except Nintendo been having a difficult time this console generation?

According to the Whois information the owner of the domain is "Colorize design group sweden". It sounds like someone Sony would hire since they probably don't have an in-house art department to do it for them. I wouldn't say it's real, though, I wouldn't say it's fake either. Nice catch.

Would you guys vote people down that say 1st to a post question. It's just stupid. And Phil would be a good fit at Atari, since they need someone like him to turn them around.
