Ronnt, I'm using the Sony S350. I have the T2 skynet. When I first play the T2 on it. It too said it need to go online. but, you still cancel it. The loading of the main menu is slow. You can't start the movie from the version you wish to play. It only start until the liongate logo and hang. So, have to start from the chapter function. Just update the S350 with new firmware update, now it can start from the version movie I choose. No need internet connection for movie playback. only for bd live and special feature content.

The reason for the slow loading of T2 skynet edition was due to java script something. That what I heard. I guess Blu ray disc are advancing faster in tech than the bdp.
