I've had problems entering the live draft room during my drafts through Yahoo. It always stops loading when the red bar is about 90% complete. I've waited up to 10 minutes and it never lets me into the room. Actually, it did let me into the room once, so I know it can work, but it usually does not let me in. Additionally, when I run the test system the test only comes up successful about 50% of the time. Has this happened to anybody or does anybody have troubleshooting tips? I have a fantasy hockey draft later this week.

I want to buy a second controller for my Playstation 3 to use when friends come over. I don't really want to buy another Dualshock since it's expensive. What is the best 3rd party controller to buy. I've been reading that some 3rd party controllers don't have SixAxis support - is this a major problem.

I have a PS3 waiting for me and I'll be able to start playing it next week. My question is if once I open it, I can plug it in and play it right then. I thought I read somewhere that I have to go online, download updates, and do other things online before I can start playing games. I have the Wii and that was so simple - just open, plug and play. I'm hoping the PS3 is this simple.

I've had problems entering the live draft room during my football drafts. It always stops loading when the red bar is about 90% complete. I've waited up to 10 minutes and it never lets me into the room. Acutally, it did let me into the room once, so I know it can work, but it usually does not let me in. Additionally, when I run the test system the test only comes up successful about 50% of the time. Has this happened to anybody or does anybody have troubleshooting tips?

When playing the higher difficulty levels in Guitar Hero 3, what makes the Hard and Expert mode more difficult than Easy and Medium? Does everything move faster or do you have to hit more color buttons in the song? For example, when I play the game at the store, I'm not good at having to hit all 5 different color buttons on one song - so on Easy do songs only use 3 colors?

Which version of the Xbox 360 should I get - the Core or the Premium version. I just want a game system. I don't play online or download games or videos. Also, I don't plan on using the 360 as a DVD player, stereo system, or anything like that. Basically, I just want to buy a game from the store, put it in the 360, and play the game.

Also, if I buy the Core and don't buy the hard drive separately, how will I be able to save my games? Do I have to buy a memory card?

1. Any updates to the rumors that the Sharks are getting a new logo, new team colors, and/or a new jersey design next season when all the teams get new Reebok jerseys.

2. Of course it will make us sick to see Pronger lift the Cup. Is it because (1) we hate Pronger, or (2) Doug Wilson was stupid for not pulling the trigger on the deal to acquire him for Carle, Bernier, and draft picks. If we had Pronger he'd still be lifting the Cup, but in teal.

I'm going to Vegas this weekend and staying at the Mandalay Bay. I want to play in like a 10 person sit-n-go tournament. A good entry fee would be around $50 or less. Any suggesstions? What hotels in general offer sit-n-go tournaments or smaller/cheaper tournaments?

1. Marleau is one of the best (but not necessarily the best) big game players in hockey.

2. Nashville is the dirtiest team in hockey.

3. The Predators will eventually be the Kansas City Predators

4. Barry Trotz is getting fired.

5. Barry Trotz will continue his journey to find his neck after he gets fired.

Forgot the incidents, the real question in this series, which was also unresolved in last year's series, is where did Barry Trotz's neck go and does his lack of a neck make him talk out of his a$$. Did you hear his comments on the Radulov play? He said "Bernier saw him coming ." Yeah right, Bernier has eyes in the back of his head just like Trotz has a neck.

The evidence:

1) They do nothing to acknowledge Modano breaking the US goal record. A simple note on the scoreboard would have been enough. When Gretzky tied Howe's all time goal scoring record at San Jose the San Jose fans gave him a standing ovation.

2) The Stars management is correct - Nashville profits more from revenue sharing than any other team (because they can't sell out their seats). Yet they still complain about the league becuase of their suspension to Tootoo and now Radulov.

3) They say the Sharks should be suspended for their actions at the end of game 2. The difference is the Sharks were goons but challenged the Predators face to face. If they didn't want to fight they could have turtled up. Radulov made a hit against a defenseless player who had his back turned.

4) They say the Sharks whine but I heard plenty of "refs you suck" chants from fans during the first two games. That's just as much whining to me.

I see that some people's Yahoo Avatar are personal photos of themselves and not the cartoon figures that you can create. How do you do this? I've looked around in the create an avatar section but haven't found this option.

I'm trying to decide which Wii game to buy. Based on whatever criteria you want to use, how would you rank these games?

1. Wario Ware

2. Cooking Mama

3. Trauma Center
