microsoft store student .edu verification site

several laptops from the microsoft store have a promotion that you get a free xbox360 4gb (not the 250gb version) if you buy an expensive enough laptop. all you need to do is verify a .edu email. The trick is getting to the site where you actually input your .edu email address to get verified.

it took me two hours to find this link:

http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/html/pbpage.2012-pc-xbox-promo/pgm.77627100

freaking microsoft must've been hiding it.

the directions on this website are worthless and not true: http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/html/pbPage.LearnMore

there is no verify button on that link.

man, microsoft online store's website sucks
