Yet another flash ad, apparently. This stuff is worse than any of the others.

I really need a PSP for my dorm room. I'm failing my classes due to lack of PSP.

Aaaargh.

On my work PC, any other browser than IE is blocked. Can't use anything else.

Any way to pin point the network that is delivering this? checking the click-thru link (control+click is usually the best way).

Same for me too, I put Firefox on it and it let me install it, but the admin deleted it. I put it on almost everyday, and he got really tired and left me a word document telling me to knock it off. I am the admin of their Power Mac G5 though, and I made it so that he can only use IE for Mac. He he he.

Could you please give a litlle more info on what you need and how to get it.
I pasted the link, but that obvioucly doesn't help.

I assume you don't want the final URL that the ad refers to, right ?

The final URL is circuitcity.com. How does that help ?
The ads are hosted by intermidaries, not by CC directly.

The final URL is a start, BUT the click through URL from the banner itself is more telling.
