Sony has still not confirmed this to my knowledge. The latest spec sheets make no mention of it on the 350/550.

Remember that Sony's first-gen players were built by Pioneer, and also that the upcoming BDP-51FD/BDP-05FD are the only players releasing this year thus far that are confirmed to retain "source direct mode." Given the timing and featureset of the new Pioneer players, I don't think its guaranteed the new Sony players will still have this feature.
