Club Nintendo Fail!

Much like many people, I got a Nintendo WII for the holidays and much like most of those people I attempted to signup for club nintendo – club.nintendo.com. I say attempted because nintendo doesn’t seem to know how to run a java web application or they didn’t plan for the kind of hit their application would receive after the holiday rush. I have been trying to register my wii serial number with them to extend my warranty and create my family account all day only to be met with 500 error after 500 error. The worst part is that they didn’t even create a custom error page. It is the standard error document. You will also notice that there was a 404 when the server attempted to fetch the error page it is supposed to display. It is bad enough that they can’t keep their app servers running but because of the sorry error document handling, I FAIL YOU NINTENDO!
