Electrocuting, that's immersion ! In a batthub with a sixaxis, that would rock your socks. By the way, now that Guerilla and Polyphony showed their cards, which teams at Sony could surpass them in your pov ?
Good question. I think that with Sony's tech sharing initiative that bascially turns every first (and some second) party team into a member of one giant technical sewing circle it makes the playing field alot more even.
I mean, you could potentially have someone like Ninja Theory giving advice and sharing tools and tech directly with someone like Insomniac and vice versa.
Personally, while the established teams like Naughty Dog and Sony Santa Monica are always going to impress, I think it's the newer (second party?) teams that are going to do the most impressing. I think 'new' talent like Quantic Dream, (the next game from) Evolution and (in a few years) Ready At Dawn are going to be heavy hitters for Sony.
But for a more established studio in Sony's first party fold, then without a doubt Sony Liverpool. The thought of a 'proper' Wipeout sequel on the PS3 using their jaw dropping F1 engine is.... nice.

Cambridge? Really? Personallly I have to go with Santa Monica...
Sony Cambridge are bascially one of Sony's main R&D units. They directly helped Ninja Theory will alot of the heavy lifting on Heavenly Sword and having worked on developing tools for the PS3 they are now working on their own IP with an in house engine.
While their games have never been critical darlings, they have been real technical showcases. If anyone can really open up the PS3, it's certainly going to be Sony Cambridge.
