Curious what the registering of "computers and cellphones" was all about, I entrered in my own hotmail email to see what would happen. I checked my account to see if anything would show up only to find Microsoft is deliberately keeping it from reaching my inbox and is hiding it in my "Junk Email" folder. Fortunately, I figured it out.

here's the message inside the Wii-mail, for anyone who's curious...

Those mother****ers.

 

[Mr Jared]

And yet, the Wii episode of South Park is available on XBOX Live Marketplace.

Wah Wah Wii Wah~

Bias denied.

Also, look at the address that email was sent from. That. . thing wouldn't make it through my spam blocks.

 

[ShutEye]

Awesome. This is the breaking point in the console wars.

 

[OpinionatedCyborg]

That's ****ed up, man... it's us against the world.

 

[AlanHemberger]

They just hate you for being you, Gahiggidy.

 

[TurtleSnatcher]

I see you are an avid subscriber to "MensGrowth"

Hawt..

 

[gimmmick]

why are people still using hotmail? Gmail FTMFW

 

[bishoptl]

...I'm going to bed.

 

[M3wThr33]

Actually it probably filters it as spam based on the sheer amount of numbers in the URL.

 

[Terrell]

No big shock there. Hotmail also tries to filter out Gmail accounts as junk.

 

[davepoobond]

hotmail is ****ing up a lot. i'm using their windows live mail beta or whatever and the ****ing log in system says there's an error whenever i want to log in. it works eventually but not when i want it to.

Wrong answer. Yahoomail ftw.

 

[davepoobond]

on a side note, read your ****ing mail dude.

 

[VALIS]

Apparently Microsoft is also conspiring against you enlarging your penis. Your dog is probably happy about that.

 

[baruflea]

The MSN Hotmail staff introduces a new line of haberdashery for the holiday season. Now you too can socialize in style, secure in the knowledge you too wear the same hat as an MS staffer.

When people comment on your sophisticated taste and cosmopolitanism, you can query them about it: do you like my hat? It's made of money!

 

[Linkup]

Didn't block mine. Your filters are probably set to 360 thus it blocked the wii.

 

[Corwood Rep]

Microsoft sucks. What a horrible company. **** Microsoft.

 

[johnjohnson]

I'd sue them if I were you.

 

[OpinionatedCyborg]

Didn't block mine. Your filters are probably set to 360 thus it blocked the wii.

I think M$'s filter randomly allows some users to receive Nintendo-related information, thus creating paranoia among our ranks regarding the existence of the filter to begin with. Fragmented thinking will destroy us! Don't fall prey to to their plan!

 

[medrew]

Wrong answer. Yahoomail ftw.

but only if you pay for the pop support!

 

[Altaïr]

they're filtering w6062637470146490 which looks like a randomly generated address, not wii.com

 

[Karma Kramer]

.Mac is the best.

 

[Roders5]

Maybe the wii just doesn't want to associate with hotmail hmm?

"Hum... do I want to allow w6062637470146490 to be my Wii friend? I know Mike's code is w6062637470146493 and Lisa's code is w606263747014649, but I'm not really sure who w6062637470146490 is."
