well this is my first post here on the forums but i have been visiting them since early October or so. my question is, i just bought The Prestige on blu-ray and when i got to play it on my ps3 it still has the black bars on the top and bottom of the screen. I have the ps3 running to a 42" plasma in 1080i with component cables. my understanding was all bluray movies wouldnt have the black bars on them. I have watched many movies in HD on digital cable and none of them ever have the black bars on there. I am wondering if there is a setting I am suppose to change on the ps3 (i have all 480i, 480p, 720p, and 1080i already selected in display settings) i looked all over the menus of both the ps3 and the prestige and found nothing for it. also the bonus features said on the back cover that they were also in 1080p, and when i watch them they do not have the black bars, its just the movie.

can anyone help me out?
