Google Decides To Reimburse Google Video Customers

We posted a few weeks ago that Google was ending their download-to-own video service. This move essentially ended support for the videos that people already downloaded and paid for, but Google offered credits to those people for use with their Google Checkout service.

Well as it turns out, there were far too many pissed-off people that were effected by this, so Google changed their minds. Customers will now receive full refunds, even if they have already vouched for the Google Checkout coupons and the videos will remain playable for the next six months. Seems like a happy ending to a service that shouldn’t have ever existed.

Thankfully, Google appears to have listened to peoples concerns, and has had a change of heart with their policy. According to the Official Google Blog, Google Video customers will receive a full refund via their credit card (once you’ve confirmed or updated your credit card details), any existing Google Checkout coupons can be kept as a way of saying “sorry [Google] goofed”, and Videos will remain playable for another six months.
