Dave Karraker, current Senior Director of Corporate Communications, is leaving SCEA. In an e-mail sent to members of the press, Karraker stated "I am saddened to leave such a great group of people, but I have been presented a global opportunity near my home in an industry where I have previous experience that I feel I must pursue." His position with the company ends this Friday. He will be moving on to Skyy Spirits.

We at PSP and PS3 Fanboy are saddened to see you go, Dave. You've been so incredibly helpful in providing the answers that our readers have been looking for, and we wish the best of luck in your future endeavors.

1. Is the Sony PR guy jumping ship bad news? Probably. But I suppose no worse than our buddy Peter over at that Windows company.

2. Maybe he was under so much pressure and purchased so much skyy vodka that they hired him instead...

3. PR people, like marketing people, are pretty much interchangeable and disposable. Sony losing Dave doesn't really hurt them or us at all.

I don't lament the loss of Dave and wish him much luck in his new job.
