RE: (GUI) Playfield aspect ratio

Fair enough, but given the choice of a vertical bar that gives you a 
square playfield, or a horizontal bar that gives you a widescreen 
playfield, why choose the widescreen?  The screen already starts out 
in a widescreen aspect, and then it gets exacerbated by having HUD 
elements laid out horizontally.

That's what I'm trying to figure out.
