Also, the games should not have any static graphics onscreen during gameplay as my PS3 is connected to a plasma ( you know, reduce IR/burn-in risk ). Thanks.

P/S : Does Sony sell a bigger game controller? I hated the existing one because it is so damn small and hurts my hands playing with it.

The sony controller's haven't changed since the playstation 1, due to it's overwhelming popularity. But, you aren't the first person I've heard that doesn't appreciate it's design.

If you're into a lot of FPS, you may want to check out the FragFX controller for the PS3. http://gear.ign.com/articles/799/799262p1.html

Video games and plasma TVs really don't go hand in hand. I can't think any game that does not have some sort of static image. If your plasma is latest-gen, burn-in shouldn't be a problem as long as you've logged at least 100 hours on your set. I would still avoid extended gaming sessions however, moreso if your TV is last-gen. Pretty much the key with games + plasmas is take frequent breaks (30m-1h) and switch the TV over to something else.

I'm a big racing fan. Gran Turismo 5: Prologue ships in April and it is a MUST HAVE. I just finished Ridge Racer 7 as well. Pretty good game if you're into arcade-style racing, and very good graphics. I think its one of the few 1080p/60 games out there.
