Are you not worried about using a game console with a Plasma TV?
I would be afraid of burn-in of any elements of the gaming screen that are
stationary for hours of game play.

My 42 inch Samsung plasma has several anti-burn in features, like pixel
shifting and special wiping screens. My beautiful new 50 inch Pioneer
plasma unfortunaely seems to lack such features.
