Sony not only is a major producer of consumer electronics but also big in the film industry. Sony under Sony Pictures had the rights to produce and distribute Terminator Salvation. Although Terminator 1 and 2 remain the best Terminator we will ever see - the new Terminator is the first of 3 new Terminator productions. I am a big fan of Arnie and Terminator.

Have you known that Arnold Schwarzenegger was born in Austria? I am from Austria :) He is was the body building World champion and Mister universe in his best days. That has nothing to do with Sony but still Arnie is the Governor of California and acting in a film which Sony Pictures has the rights to distribute.

• Total Sales for fiscal year ended March 2008: $7.6 billion
