my PS3? My PS3 is connected to my TV using the HDMI inputs. Whenever I watch Blu-rays on my TV (I have a 50" 16:9, HD TV) I still get the black bars, as if my TV was 4:3... My Xbox can stretch the images to delete the black bars (with no distortion, because its a 16:9 TV) on DVDs and such. I was wondering if theres a similiar function on the PS3. When I set up the PS3 for HDMI, there is no way to choose the aspect ratio, so I don't know what to do, I've looked through every 'setting' listed in the PS3s menus too...
I've tried pressing triangle while watching the Blu-rays, and all I get is these options :

The buttons for 'red, green, blue, and yellow'
The directional buttons
'Enter'
The numerical buttons (1-10)
Pop-up Menu
Top Menu
Return/Goto
Angle Options/ Audio Options
Subtitle Options/ Subtitle Style Options
Volume Control/ AV settings
Time Options, Display (select)
Then the fast forward controls (slow, skip, etc...)
Repeat, and A-B Repeat

I can't find it... the display just shows the info, like, scene, etc... And theres nothing in AV options.
