Will the PS3 blu-ray feature burn in a plasma as bad as when using the game mode feature?

I have read reviews on a few plasma's and it is said that video games played more than a 2+ hour time period can cause burn in. Is this the same if you are watching a blu-ray on your PS3 or is it something different in the technology?Will the PS3 blu-ray feature burn in a plasma as bad as when using the game mode feature?
(The Devil is in the details with this one)



There are people who bring home a new HDTV, leave the Brightness and Contrast at 100% (set by the factory so the unit will stand out if it is used for a floor display). Then they play old 16-color Atari 2600 games for hours. This causes burn-in.



I have a Brother in Law who has been playing his PS2 on his plasma for over 4 years without a sign of burn-in. The PS3 is even better at not burning in because of it's photo-realistic images with games.



And there should be no problem playing BluRay movies on the PS3.



Big Hint: Get a copy of the BluRay versions of "Cars" or "WallE" and go to the Setup menu. It has test-patterns and instructions you follow to turn the Brightness/Contrast/Colors down to sane levels for your TV and BluRay Player.
"to sane levels" lol

Burn in occurs when a fixed picture is left on the screen for too long. Most PS3 games vary the background enough so it's not a real problem and Bluray (or any DVD player) is fine. Channels like CNN that have a fixed bar or logo at the bottom of the screen can be a problem for plasmas. Also, the older video games with fixed backgrounds are bad.Will the PS3 blu-ray feature burn in a plasma as bad as when using the game mode feature?
Most plasma makers have taken steps to greatly reduce the chance of burn-in. Make sure you use the screen saver function.
