Sony once had an active research and development team investigating paranormal activity. A report into Japan’s fascination with mythic creatures and folklore, carried by Japan Today, reveals that during the Nineties the Japanese consumer electronics giant financed a laboratory to investigate the phenomena of extrasensory perception and other Fortean fancies.
The project ran for eight years and delved into extra sensory perception, remote viewing and Qi (metabolic) energy.
When Sony’s chief researcher in the field, Yoichiro Sako, addressed the Annual Meeting of the Society for Scientific Exploration in Las vegas, he declared: “As the 21st century draws nearer, we can see that society’s materialistic values, fostered in many respects by modern science and technology, have become outdated and unworthy. It is clear that we have come to another turning point in history and science. What we require to meet the challenges of these unpredictable and confusing times is a new paradigm to guide a new age. I believe that the key to this new paradigm lies in the research of biological, mental, and spiritual phenomena that have been overlooked by modern scientists.”
Sony closed its X-files a year later, after the death of the division’s chief proponent Masaru Ibuka.

Seven people died and 12 more were injured yesterday when a 25-year old man went on a killing spree in Japan’s iconic Akihabara electronics and video game district. Traditionally a magnet for AV fans, Akihabara (also known as Electric Town) is now equally famous for its anime and manga hobby stores.
Tomohiro Kato reportedly drove a two-ton rental truck into pedestrians, after the main Chuo-dori street had been closed to traffic at the height of the Sunday shopping period, before beginning a frenzied knife attack. His youngest victim was aged 19, the oldest 74. A traffic police officer was also attacked.
The incident took place just a short walk from the bustling JR Akihabara Station.
Violence on the streets of Japan is relatively uncommon, although there has been mounting tension between nerdy Otaku teens and their cultural rivals in the Akihabara area. However this attack is not thought to be related to Otaku violence. Coincidentally, the attack came on the seventh anniversary of a similar deadly spree by a man at an Elementary School in Osaka.

The UK broadcast landscape changes again today with the official unveiling of Freesat, the BBC/ITV joint venture that aims to bring redefine standard and high definition TV services. Unlike Sky, once installed Freesat viewers will have unlimited access to around 80 free-to-air channels. This number is expected to double by the end of the year.
From today, high definition receivers are available from 120 pounds with standard definition models priced at 50 pounds, plus 80 pound dish installation. All receivers are made by the Alba Group, and are for sale under the Bush, Goodman and Alba brands. The service begins with one high definition channel from the BBC, but ITV is expected to offer HD when it joins the platform in a matter of weeks.
Confidence in the system seems high. Freesat’s Commercial Director Richard Lindsay-Davies, says: “This is a supercharged platform in comparison to Freeview and there are some nine million HD-ready TVs out there in the UK that are currently not receiving any HD content. That’s a big potential market.”

PS2 owners have finally begun to migrate to the PlayStation3, thanks to GTA4 hardware bundles. Bob McKenzie, Senior Vice President for Merchandising, at US chain GameStop, says: “The launch has been tremendous in driving traffic to our stores, as well as providing a vigorous lift in PS3 console sales over this time last week.”
In the UK, Xbox 360 individual games sales eclipsed those on PS3. Official sales figures show that the Xbox 360 edition sold 335,000 copies on its debut day, compared to the PS3’s 274,000 copies. There’s no confirmation yet on how the console bundle battle is shaking down.
Sony has been banking on PlayStation brand loyalty playing a huge part in the adoption of the PS3 by gamers, even though the overall software base isn’t that compelling. It looks like the latest edition in the Grand Theft Auto franchise may just be the killer-app the platform’s been waiting for.

Blu-ray player sales in the US plummeted in February. According to data released by the NPD Group’s Retail Tracking Service, dedicated player sales dropped 40 per cent, as a string of special retail promotions and bundling deals came to an end. NPD director Ross Rubin suggests that the format war with HD DVD was not as big a factor in player sales as previously thought, saying: “That stand-alone Blu-ray players haven’t picked up significantly from HD DVD’s loss shows that few consumers were dissuaded primarily by the format war. Consumers continue to see a gap between Blu-ray’s premium video quality and its premium price.”
Standard DVD player sales have also slumped, but the upscaling DVD category is booming, bucking the trend with US sales up 5 per cent in the first quarter of 2008.
