I did not see a mention of this yet (someone please link it if it was, or a mod can delete this thread), here is a link to Optoma's new WXGA (1280x800) 3D Ready projector:

I responded to ssiu's recent thread of the HD66 ( http://www.mtbs3d.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=5042 )and commented on the need to accommodate legacy 4:3 aspect ratio stereo3D games (XGA, 1024x768) without scaling. I did a search and--lo and behold--here we go!
This appears to be a more versatile 3D projector than the HD66, since you should be able to watch HD content/play newer widescreen games at 720p/WXGA and play your older 4:3 games at their native XGA resolution and just zoom/mask out areas of unused pixels if it bothers you (assuming the projector does not automatically scale the image--someone chime in if they have any experience with Optoma's projector configuration options).
EDIT: Added price to thread title, link to ssiu's HD66 thread, and some comments in last paragraph.
