This is the 16:9 "Letterbox" screen format (as if you were watching the movie in the movie theater). Head to the video settings if you don't want the screen in this format. I cannot remember which specific settings menu you use in the video settings, but look for something that gives you full screen or 4:3 or something like that. EDIT: The DVD Wide Display is what I was thinking of. Choose Pan and Scan. If that doesn't work for Blu-Ray, you might not be able to remove the bars via the PS3 (meaning you'll have to check the menus on the movie disc, which sometimes gives you the option). Its normal.
