File No. 1-6439                                                                   

 

Dear Ms. Blye:

On behalf of our client Sony Corporation (“Sony”), I am writing to confirm the request made by telephone this morning to your colleague James Lopez for an extension of the expected timing of Sony’s response to the November 14, 2006 comment letter of the staff of the Division of Corporation Finance of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Staff”) on the Company’s annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended March 31, 2006.

Due to the nature of the Staff’s comments and the necessity of gathering financial and operating information from various departments and subsidiaries on a global basis, Sony has requested that it be permitted to file its response on or about December 20, 2006.
