Google Video Store Delays Shutdown - Offers Full Refund
Google has decided to delay the shutdown date for its video shop, Google Video Store. According to an article at Ars Technica, the search engine giant will be offering full refunds to customers who have purchased videos from the DRM service, and will keep Google Video Store up for another six months.
Google originally had no intention of offering full refunds, but the resulting backlash from irate customers who had purchased videos from the service changed their minds.
It’s surprising that Google didn’t realize that their video store would be useless with the purchase of YouTube.
How many of you have purchased videos from Google Video Store?

Nope, never purchased from Google Video. Thankfully, I knew better than to do that.
Shine on,

Hehehe, another Google service bites the dust!
I never did purchase anything from Google so far. I do like their free services though.

Never buy anything from google and I`ll probably never buy FROM them.
Yet I may think to buy THEM.
But is not a top priority for me now, first I must see what cash
I have to buy bred tomorrow and, if something remains, I`ll think about.

@Madhur:
Hehe it never really took off. That’s probably why they bought YouTube
@Valentin:
I agree buddy. Buy bread first so you don’t buy Google on an empty stomach
