Google Folds Paid Online Video Service

After an eight-month stint in paid video, Google has decided to shut down its premium video service.


Launched at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, it proffered programs like CSI, Survivor and Star Trek for $1.99 each.

An email to subscription users was released to inform them that money spent on videos, including those not yet seen, would not be refunded. The BBC reports that instead, customers will be provided credit on Google Checkout instead.

The Google Checkout credit is in the amount of $5 per customer and is set to expire in 60 days.
