You're kidding right? we're allmost at 2010 here, there are like 0 games with out widescreen support since like 4 years ago.
Hence the the use of the term "older". Then there is the FOV issue which I mentioned later in that same sentence:

There are a lot of half-baked vert(-) widescreen implementations out there that give you "widescreen" by culling the vertical FOV (Examples: Gears of War and Mass Effect--not very old games though, are they?). There are also other implementations that simply stretch the 4:3 screen out to widescreen, which is not acceptable (Examples: Warcraft 3, Lego Star Wars).
Having the option to run your stereo3D games at 1024x768 will also give you a frame rate boost to make otherwise unplayable games playable in stereo3D.
I have a reasonably large game library (170+ games, I recently did a survey). Projectors that support XGA resolution natively are a nice option, even if you do not game in stereo3D. When the time comes, I will definitely go for a projector that can handle XGA resolution without downscaling the image (which rules out any projector with a 720p-native DMD).
