I got mine, but that was over a week ago, maybe they are blocking now.

They are not blocking the invites. Here is what happened.

1. Guy asks friend to send them a gmail invite.

2. Guy can't find it in his mail, gets it resent a few times.

3. Guy still can't see it and goes "OMFG MS THE BYATCHES ARE BLOCKING GOOGLE", and sends post to slashdot.org

4. Story gets posted on slashdot.org, many people read it, but only one person confirms this is true.

5. Guy realises he wasn't looking at his "inbox" when wanted to find the invites.

Hey presto an internet myth is born.
