Ohh... why call it a letterbox then? lol

It is a film term for perserving the original aspect ratio on a screen that does not naturally accomadate it.

So if you ever watched a film on a television and saw black bars at top and bottom that is called lettboxing.  Some games have adopted this practice I guess to give games a "film aesthetic". 

Hmmm... interesting.
