According to Mikko Hyppönen's post to F-Secure's blog Sony Electronics has confirmed that they received the research report this week:
http://www.f-secure.com/weblog/archives/archive-082007.html#00001266
The post says that companies have opened direct discussion channels and Sony will receive the internal technical report of the case.
Maybe we will see an official response document from Sony later.

That is not exactly new news.
The devices are old and all that is "rootkit-like" about them is the
fact that they interact with the kernel in order to hide their own files
from corruption.
Not everything that interacts with the kernel is a rootkit. Or would
anyone want to classify GRSecurity as a rootkit? RBAC will let you hide
parts of your filesystem as well...

Now I was outraged by Sony's Copyprotection Rootkit - but this is simply
something different.
