Neil clued me in on this feature:
My Nintendo Wii has an email address:
The bad part: is that I have to initiate all initial conversation from my Address Book on my Wii before I’ll get the email.
For example, I have to add your email to my address book… and in return it will send you a reference email to reply to… to allow us to be connected. For the first contact, then email can be sent freely… Lame.
The cool part: is that my Wii glows a soft blue when it gets a message… even if it’s “off”. WiiConnect24 is freaking sweet!
