Oh, really? As a non- native speaker, I had no idea. It just sounded wrong to me ("Sony are"), but noticed that almost everyone was using plural and assumed they were right.
My current biggest pet peeve is people using "amount" instead of "number". As in the "amount of hours I put in", "the amount of NX threads", "the amount of people who...". "Amount of hype?" Sure. "Amount of money x cost me"? Great. "Amount of chocolates in my pocket"? Whyyyyy?!
