Google Video Store is LIVE

The just-announced Google Video Store is now live! You can browse the videos for sale from a new drop-down box. However, besides CSI and Survivor, I’m not super-thrilled with the selection, and apparently, I’m not the only one bemoaning the lackluster choices. Still, it’s a beginning…I guess. To see a 30-second preview of the video, you just click on it and the preview will play right in your browser.  If you want to watch the whole video (the entire episode, that is), you click a button curiously labeled "Day Pass." I suppose this is so you know you are not "purchasing" the video, you’re just getting permission to view it. Most current shows are $1.99, and let’s be honest, that’s all we really care about. Yeah, the Ed Sullivan Show is $9.99, but…ummm…who cares?
