Daniel, <<Sony is interested in the other 95% and had a 120 day option from the January 5th announcement to buy everything.>> A Sony buyout of GIC is just rumor and speculation, at this point. GIC would seem to fit nicely with Sony's stated business focus. For those interested in more research from the Sony point of view-- sony.co.jp Excerpt- "Sony has always drawn on leading technology to carve out new markets. This drive is now focusing on digital and network technologies. Under the "Digital Dream Kids" concept, Sony aims to harness the potential of digital technology to continue supplying hardware and software that are sources of enjoyment for customers around the world." irthrifty
