2005 Le Conseil de la concurrence sanctionne les fabricants Philips, Sony et Panasonic à hauteur de 34,4 millions d'euros pour avoir mis en place un système de prix de détail minimum imposés auprès de leurs distributeurs. Panasonic France est condamné à une amende de 2,4 millions d'euros. Le Conseil de la concurrence a considéré qu'il existait des indices graves, précis et concordants démontrant l'existence d'une entente entre les fabricants Philips, Sony et Panasonic et leurs distributeurs respectifs et a notamment retenu à cet égard comme éléments probants : * la communication de prix de détail « conseillés » aux grossistes et aux détaillants * l'alignement constaté des prix de vente d'un certain nombre de produits chez l'ensemble des distributeurs des marques concernées (une même référence de téléviseur par exemple étant, à quelques exceptions près, au même prix dans tous les magasins) * l'existence de mécanismes de surveillance et de contrôle des prix de détail (rappels à l'ordre téléphoniques de la part des fabricants ou des grossistes pour « faire remonter les prix », passage de représentants régionaux de la marque dans les points de vente, menaces de cessation de livraison ou de réduction des facilités financières octroyées) * l'existence - en ce qui concerne Philips et Sony - de contrats de coopération entre leurs revendeurs, procurant aux fabricants le contrôle de leur politique de publicité et de leur politique de prix.    
2005 Les sites britanniques de vente par correspondance ont porté plainte contre Sony et plusieurs autres fabricants d'équipement électronique pour pratiques anti-concurrentielles. Ils les accusent de pratiquer une double tarification: les supermarchés "physiques", systématiquement plus chers que les sites internet et confrontés à une baisse de leurs ventes, auraient fait pression sur Sony pour obtenir que celui-ci vende plus cher aux sites internet. Selon les plaignants, Sony aurait accepté et se rendrait donc coupable de double tarification, une pratique anti-concurrentielle interdite car elle aboutit à une hausse des prix pour le consommateur final.     The Scotsman
