Exactly, Sony is a multi billion dollar company. It doesnt cost them anything at all to let a domain name expire. It's pocket change to them, and keeping it could also get them more money if some other major company wanted to buy it from them for alot of $. That's exactly why Sony still has it, but on February 11th, 2004. It will be expired and if Sony renews it, then I would call it a good sign, but right now it's just a domain waiting to expire.
