Google To Shut Down Video Retail Operation

Posted on August 11, 2007 by Alex Nesbitt

The NY Times is reporting that Google is closing its video retail operation.

The company will stop offering download-to-own and download-to-rent programs on Wednesday, according to an e-mail message sent to customers yesterday. Google started selling shows like ”Survivor” in January 2006.

I didn’t even know Google had a video store. I guess they aren’t perfect after all.
