2011 was such a bad year for Sony, earthquake tsunami, Thailand floodings, strong yen, PSN hack etc... Hope 2012 will be better, starting with Kaz Hirai's new position.

One of their production plants in london was burnt to the ground during the riots last year also.

It was a huge warehouse, not a production plant. I think it was their biggest warehouse in all UK, but I'm not sure.

Even worse so.

A warehouse, fully insured and no financial loss whatsoever.  More of incoinvenience than anything else, irrelevant.

Fully insured or not, it was still another massive set back for sony to add to the collection.
