Google added their 4th region - US East - in October last year[1] but it's true that this is poor effort compared to Azure and AWS.

GCE's multi-regional buckets are quite awesome though and cheaper than paying Amazon to move between regions

Could you go into what the price difference is or what your use case is? Just curious in what situations I might want to consider Google over S3.

* benchmarks are easily fakeable - please don't bet your company on one

But Google has absolutely the best peering available, which is a great advantage for many regions.
