There absolutely should be no pop ups.

The street fighter ad should show up in the top right corner of ANN, and shouldn't have any sound or create a pop-up.

Click on the ad should bring you to http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=7300208&type=product&id=1468714 in the same window.

If you aren't getting these results, please tell me exactly what is happening (be as specific as possible) and include information about your platform and browser.

Hmm, I have the same platform and I'm not having any problems with it.

It looks like you're only seing the background image. Do you have flash installed ?

Just to make it clear, Best Buy is advertising for Best Buy, not ANN. ANN just sells the space for the advertisement. That's how it is with any banner ads that you see.

Not quite. A 3rd party advertising firm is advertising for Manga Entertainment, and linking directly to Best Buy.
