Google Purchases Sign-Up Page Discovered // canavarlar

Earlier in the week we pointed to some interesting unannounced Google
sub-domains discovered by Tony Ruscoe. With much rumour of an
upcoming Google Payment service (a.ka. Google Wallet) to rival PayPal, the
most notable of the new sub-domains were purchases.google.com, and
purchase.google.com.

After some exploring, I managed to find the actual sign up form for a
service Google have coined "Purchases".

"Welcome to Purchases

Welcome back, email. Before using Purchases, we need to know a little
more about you. Please enter the additional information below.

If you want to use the Purchases service as part of a separate Google
Account, click here . (Note: you can only be logged into one Google Account
at a time) "

Although the sign up form doesn't appear to be functional and is vague on
details concerning the what the service offers, it does ask for a credit card
number suggesting this indeed could be Google's upcoming payment
service.

Update: The sign-up form does appear to work if you have a US address,
unfortunately that excludes me. Anyone from the US care to comment on
what's behind the curtain?

Update: Seems Google have now removed the page. If anything, this
proves they have something worth hiding. If you missed it, here is a user
posted screenshot of the page
