Google video store goes live

The Google Video Store has just gone live. A few films and TV programs and news clips are available. But as yet this looks like a true beta.

The design is perhaps a little too simplistic and the thumbnails need work. But the obvious challenge is a lack of content. But, like Google Base, the Google Video Store depends on the content creators entering their offerings and maintaining them well (including packaging and presentation).

It'll all depend on Google now and their users. If downloads start selling, more content companies will join and off will fly Google Video. But it looks like it's got a long way to go from here.
