Did you buy the 720p or 1080p panny? I have a 46" Panny (46PZ800A) and it is fantastic. As someone else said, give it 100 hours before calibrating, but feel free to play games on it. Just don't play anything which has a constant HUD up for more than 1-2 hours at a time and you'll be fine.

Got me the 42PZ800A Panny, couldn't go any higher cuz of room limitations but for my viewing distance I think this one is just about right.

Say, for the break in period what would you suggest I set the preset too, cuz I think it'll come by default set to dynamic, I was thinking of setting it to standard or what ever the equivalent is.

You preferably want to run it in a mode with a lower brightness than dynamic, especially if you are gaming on it initially. Normal or Cinema will be good for this, chosing one based on what you think looks good.

I haven't had my professionally calibrated, but I ran some calibration images on my PC in dynamic mode and changed it to what I felt looked correct. My results were extremely close to Cinema, and from reading posts on avsforum the Cinema mode (which is THX certified on the US models) is apparently close enough if you are too lazy or cheap (like me..on both accounts) to get it professionally calibrated.

That said, some people feel that the Cinema mode looks a little washed out. To me normal basically looks the same, but less washed out so feel free to go with whatever you like. You can calibrate the screen for each input, so if you'd prefer brighter games and more natural looking TV, you can set these independently.
