Site is no longer affiliated with Met-art, so don't bother submitting a support ticket there. The site is now closed with absolutely no notice and merged with barelylegal.com which is also closed and rolled into hustlerunlimited.com. Login doesn't work and no replies from support. They just stole their subscribers money and ran.
Site gets by now on sparse updates that seem to be old material often in SD. MetArt has apparently taken over management of the site or at least MetArt is now responding to support requests. Rather they are most often replying without responding or resolving. Maybe they will get their issues ironed out but for now I would avoid. If everything works Ok you might find a few items you like but if you have support concerns, good luck.
I joined this site today and am really disappointed. Videos while in the mp4 format are extremely small, most common is 360 with some being even smaller! Even 95% of the newer ones 2015-2018 are only 480! 720 0r 1080 is extremely rare! Click full screen on this crap and it's so blurry that it is completely unwatchable. What a rip-off!
Worst site i've ever used. I've used brazzers, twistys, mofos, and erito and whenever i've tried to contact customer service it's always been easy and helpful but with hustler i can say their "24/7 customer service" is a SHAM because i can't get in contact by email and the only person for the phone is ALWAYS AWAY FROM HER DESK. I bought a month and I can't even login because for some reason the account i JUST PAID FOR is locked.
It's really hard to preview into what's in each of the so called subsites on this network. As Taboo is the only part interesting me, it'd be nice to know if there's anything going on in here.
Are they still adding in photosets? Those used to be the highest quality content they had. Is the film series still being continued? And most importantly, is the HD nowadays really quality or pixelated like few years back?
I just reviewed the site, and instead of changing the score, Ill just say it here. TONS of videos I downloaded are now not working properly, even when I try to play them in different media players. I kind of think Hustler did this on purpose...or maybe they are just stupid and fucking lazy.
Either way, be extremely cautious. If you are looking to stream their vidoes, it may be worth joining, but there are other sites you can do that on. If you are looking to download, then youve been warned. Id personally suggest alternative means of getting their content.
Borderline scam IMO. Content may be good but everything else is meh or worse.
I am very disappointed with this site.
Without going on a lengthy tirade I will list some of the reasons why I find this site to be a major disappointment.
1)Video Quality.
The videos here are of the worst quality I have ever seen.
Pixelation on the "HD" videos is so pronounced they are
virtually unwatchable. Have you ever seen the "mosaics" in
Japanese porn that are used to cover the genitals? Imagine
if those mosaics were enlarged to cover major portions of the
action! Thats what it's like viewing a video from Hustler.com
2) Download Speeds
Download speeds were extremely slow. At times less than
100kb/sec. I cannot live with that.
3) Picture Count/Quality
The amount of pictures available on this site is very
disappointing. On some the picture "sets" there were no more
than 5 or 6 images available. Added to the disappointed is
the piss poor quality of the images. The images are dull,
lack detail and sharpness, and the colors are washed out.
In short, the images are nothing like the images in Hustler
magazine that we have known and loved for years.
Maybe i'm stupid, but it's difficult to understand why a
corporation such as Hustler, that has been a pioneer, an
industry innovator, would produce such poor quality porn.
I just dont understand it.
I cancelled my subcription to this site and I cannot
recommend it to anyone else.
It appears that even the new "released" DVD is outsourced and bought from some other studio. Oh well, besides the pictures, I guess this site is quite dead :(
Ok. So now that I finally thought they have come to their senses and released an entire DVD Domination Zone #2 at one go (their fist update since the first of December) as all the scenes are listed as updates on the 5th of January, all but one scene links back to the listing when you actually try to play it.
Would have been too much to give us an entire DVD after more than a month of no updates, I guess...
The photosets on the other hand are still great. I'd love to see them make this subsite focus on the magazine.
If anybody's wondering about the same things as I did in my previous comment, I can tell that the site is simply a subcategory of Hustler's DVD collection. The pictorials are there but they are not zipped and the rest of the magazine content is missing.
Although this site has regional pricing in €/$ depending on where you're surfing from, I noticed it's not too strongly enforced. Joining through some of their so called subsites sometimes gives you USD prices for exactly the same deal. For example via Hustler's Taboo site I was given subscription options in USD and while I still couldn't get those PU special prices, the three month package is quite reasonably priced if you are into this kind of stuff.
Just wanted to point out that while their newer videos are getting better quality from a technical standpoint, it appears as though they have some encoding problems as there are many more artifacts and glitches in the videos than you typically see at that bitrate.
It indeed appears that the TBP pricing is only available for US residents which makes the monthly subscription quite expensive.
If someone is member, I'd like to know few things about site:
Is it mostly DVD's and scenes from them or do they focus on single HD scenes like many other networks (my preference)?
How is Hustler's Taboo? I saw some scenes years ago and they were more like HouseOfTaboo in style but now it appears in previews that they have mostly scenes from their DVD's there too. How much content is on the subsite?
I'm sure there are many Hustler subscribers around and would love to see a comment or a review of this subsite. The previews look great but tell only little of the actual amount and quality of content.
How is the video size and are there good photosets available?
I was considering joining this site, because it looks attractive enough, but the 19.95$ PU offer doesn't seem to apply in Europe, because the monthly membership was 29.95€. I tried it a couple of times just to make sure, but same price appeared. Sorry, I am not joining at that price...
Just to let you know when I joined, I joined because of how it was rated, which I think they are OVER rated this site. Anyway when I joined thru pornuser.com to Hustler, the reduced price was only for 1 month, it then switches to the regular price of about $30.00 dollars...I checked again with the CC company and it also stated it was a TRIAL. Another thing that got me mad was that the bonus sites are bogus, the DVD's are broken down into classes, babes, teens. milf etc. and that is how you get the bonus sites. I'd say save your hard earned money and join some other DVD site which would be money better spent. Pictures cannot be downloaded, unless you click and save every single picture one by one. Not all th DVD's can be downloaded, the movie size is about 720 or smaller on some of the DVD's.
I noticed in your review that you mentioned the intrusive watermarks. See my remarks below, so thanks. Maybe one of these days the webmaster will take notice and people like me who hate their big yellow glaring logo will be able to subscribe.
I figured that I wouldn’t do a full review since there have been a couple recently and I’m in agreement with most of what the reviewers say.
First off is a really general opinion of the site. I was glad to get access to such a large portion of the Hustler catalogue. Three cheers to Larry for that. But I was mostly disappointed with the site. There are a few little things that I can point to that I didn’t like, but overall it was a just a feeling that the site could – and should – be so much better.
I don’t get this. If I had the resources that Hustler has, I’d make the best damned porn site on the ‘net. It’d be easy to access and navigate through, and I’d have multiple options for streaming and downloading that would push the industry standard. I figure that of all the old ‘mainstream’ print empires, Hustler would be the most likely to try this. Playboy wouldn’t, because they have no hardcore to offer. Penthouse – well Penthouse tried to be everything to everyone and became nothing to nobody. But Larry Flynt seemed to get video early.
The Hustler website, however, seems to have something about it that I can’t quite describe. It’s like it was born of an order from Larry who said “This internet thing seems to be catching on a bit with the young people. But it’s just a flash in the pan and people will abandon it soon and come back to magazines. Get in and get some of that internet business but don’t go overboard because it’ll die.” That’s the sense I get about the site. It’s a kind of malaise. The kind that plagued North American car manufacturers for so long. You know – when you bought a Big 3 car and got a sense that some engineer said on a Friday afternoon, “It’s good enough. Let’s go home.”
There are little things. For one thing, the stuff that was posted years ago has never been updated. Those files still have crappy resolution and come in multiple parts. The best resolutions available don’t appear often and even those would barely meet the standards of many other websites. The search function for the talent didn’t work. I tried it several times throughout my membership and it never worked right at all. And for those of us who download, in many cases the highest quality download was much less than the highest quality stream.
Bottom line for me is this site is definitely worth a membership to get access to Hustler’s stuff, but it could have been so much better. Picture it’s 1976 and Larry Flynt brings out the Vega. It has an engine that’ll blow up in 20K miles, a three-speed manual tranny, and bias-ply tires. Kink.com is Honda, sneaking in with a little product called the Civic that has more technology in it’s radio than the entire Vega. The Vega was a decent little car, but for a lot of people, good enough ain’t good enough.
Many people have already pointed out the good stuff and the bad so I won't do a review, just go over the stuff that I encounter and thus add my 2 cents...
-not enough photos
-sometimes frustrating to navigate
-some videos cannot be downloaded
-DRM is not in effect anymore. See reply #1 from webmaster
-a pretty decent price
-a lot of interesting videos such as the This ain't series (this ain't star trek, this ain't happy days, etc.)
-a lot of pron that clearly has a large-ish budget behind it. Quality stuff all and all, but the DRM is frustrating...
First off, as a pic fiend, I was pretty disappointed. The galleries are usually really small, ranging generally between 10-20 pics, and there are no zips. So, aha, I finally got it: It's a video site.
There are a lot of videos. And there are a lot of theme-based Hustler "sites" you can access from the main one. The themes are things like college girls, anal, "cum crazy," milfs, etc. Vids that show up on one may appear on another as well. You could see this either as an annoyance or a convenience.
There's a lot of variation in terms of what you can access and how quickly. Some vids were "1200" (864x480 wmv), some were only up to "768" (720x480). Some had smaller dimensions than that. And sometimes, they were streaming only.
I like to preview vids online and click ahead through scenes before I decide to download. With some of them, it was a snap, but not with others, which I just downloaded before viewing.
Some downloads took under 5 minutes. Others took quite a bit longer.
For the price of $20, it's not at all a bad site, but it's not great, either. I'd joined years ago and just hated it then, but it's definitely more user-friendly than it had been.
What are the number of video updates at Hustler for 2009?
I would like to hear from someone at Hustler that can indicate in a clear and specific way
what the number of latest updates have been made in 2009 and what is the normal update sequence.
Also, some of the latest movies are only steaming. I would like to know why some are only streaming and some are not.
Thank you,
Bruce

The current PU score for Hustler is 72.9, the TBP score is 82.6. That is a big difference, One reason might be that the TBP score was given Nov 4, 2006. The PU scores are from more recent reviews. Actually, if TBP was following PU rules for scoring, Husler would have no TBP score, because the reviews would have expired, and the scores based on those reviews would have expired as well.
A second reason for the difference in scores is that PU members mainly have an aversion to DRM.
Hustler videos were until recently DRM protected. That would have lowered the score massively for many PU members, or they would have avoided the site altogether.
bruce987 writes in a comment dated 04-26-09 that Hustler has removed DRM 3 months or more earlier.
But TrashMan writes in a review dated 01-24-09 that "Downloads have DRM".
james4096 in comment dated 04-22-09 writes, "It does seem like they have removed DRM on their wmv videos....but the video quality still stinks in most videos."
Webmaster reply 02-28-09, "we removed all DRM protection a couple weeks ago".
