it's the latest

The PS3 has the latest Blu-ray drive (when compared to the current Pioneer and Sony stand-alone players). It is also capable of Blu-ray Live and supports the Java features of Blu-ray. If there are changes, it's firmware is upgradable. Sony designed it based on the capabilities, present and soon-to-be released, of the Blu-ray format.

I think what you're looking for is a "constant height" projector. The height will be the same, regardless of the aspect rario, but the width will increase with wider aspect ratio movies. This is of course not possible without a front projector (and the associated anamorphic lens and screen). A fixed size display, by definition, is not capable of this and will always have black bars with aspect ratios wider than its own -- unless you zoom and cut off the sides of the movie.
