Replace YOURNAME with name of the user you want to get the photo of.

If ?type=large is only returning a 200px wide image, then that is the largest one Facebook has.

You can scale the image larger by specifying the width and height in the query string: ?width=300&height=300 and Facebook will return a scaled-up version of the image. See this blog post for more info.

The limit on this seems to be 75% larger than the size of the largest stored image Facebook has. For example, my large profile pic is ~180px. If I request a width or height > 312, I get a 312px image back.
