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.
