I'm sorry to throw cold water on what I think is a very cool announcement (I'm
a big fan of on-demand video content), but where the hell is Google Video marketplace? It is
supposed to appear on the Google Video site, which as of this post remains unchanged. This is impossibly lame.
Normally, when companies (let's take Apple as an example) announce a new product the damn thing is there. If
not, you're just wasting everybody's time--not by announcing it, but by driving millions of people to a site that's not
ready. Google's emailed press release remarked that Video Marketplace would be available "soon," which is a
bizarrely vague prediction. Now it's the next day--the statute of limitations on "soon" has expired.
Note to Google: You've just taken the wind out of your own sails.
So ... Where the Heck is Video Marketplace?

(Page 1)2. There is a 99.99% likelyhood this isn't going to be interesting.
I expect the material to be:
1. In an "unusable" format (ie, not not Mpeg2/Divx/Xvid)
2. It will be burdened with Digital Restrictions Management
3. It will be WAY to expensive. For what it will cost you to get a series you can get it on DVD later, in much better quality.
And of course the fools (not google, they just have to suffer the fools) are talking about country restrictions, which means: Most of the world to not get the chance to buy this, so they will continue to download it off the internet thus making SURE no money is made of it. Very clever all around.
Of course someone has to start, and someone has to follow - so lets see what we shall see.
