As some of you may already know, today is the day of the "Sony Boycott" that was organized by the underground online group known as "Anonymous". As previously reported, the boycott was to be held inside Sony stores around the globe, where users would loiter around and not buy anything. It was argued over how successful such a spread out demonstration could really be. However, the photographs below suggest that Sony is not taking the demonstrations lightly.

Reports are coming in that Sony stores across Europe are closed for the day and it can be speculated that the closings are in anticipation of the demonstrations. Shoppers are being greeted with signs which state: "We are sorry the Sony Centre is closed" "We will be open as soon as possible" and "CLOSED DUE TO UNFORSEEN CIRCUMSTANCES". Some of the stores are even being guarded by local Police and security guards. One can only imagine the amount of lost revenue due to these store closings.
If you notice a Sony store is closed in your area please don't hesitate to report it in the comments and we will add it to the list.
