Sony's loan
According to Games Industry.biz, Sony have taken out a loan totalling 80 billion yen (approx £377 million) from a number of Japanese lenders for 'general purposes'.
Bloomberg.com, via Games Industry.biz, have apparently stated that the money will be invested in semi-conductor manufacturing and liquid crystal displays, although some of the dosh will no doubt be used in the manufacturing of the PS3.
We've had a search around Bloomberg's site and we can't find the report, so unfortunately we can't source the original story.
