Pros:
Extensive DVD-based site that gets the genre right
Around 150,000 scenes
Many of the scenes are available to download in 4K and HD
Navigation is very accessible and tag friendly
There are no download limits
Some of the scenes are exclusive to Bang.com
Cons:
Older scenes are not only a much lower video quality, but are also easily found all across the internet.
The navigation and model list are easy and useful, but searching through 30,000 models makes any search a con.
Bottom Line:
DVD sites have been around for more than 20 years. The premise is simple enough: Round up as many scenes as you possibly can, throw them all together on one site and hope the quantity and big scene count totals make up for the lower quality.
Bang gets this genre right. They have 4K and HD downloads which takes care of the common complaint with DVD sites (poor quality). There are daily updates and even pictures you can download. Maybe the most impressive part, but also disappointing is how good the Bang-produced scenes are. It does show how much one small change makes. Bang shoots their own movies and it’s why they have scenes that are exclusive to Bang.com. On the other hand, you may have to sift through their sites to find the scenes you are looking for..
There are helpful categories that help you find more scenes similar to your favorites. The streaming player has its uses too. I stream a little of every scene I download.
Those original scenes make all the difference between Bang and other DVD sites. There are around 1,500 of those original scenes. That is comparable to the numbers on a top site today, but Bang also has 140,000 other scenes. You also can almost always get a sale price on it. And unlike most sites these days, there is no download limit. It really is a great deal and just asks for the dad-joke of, “You get more bang for your buck”.
I cannot find anything to come up with a strong negative. The site is that good as is its content.
The navigation uses tagged categories and also has a category search or filter. Everything can be downloaded and it’s unlimited downloading. For my money, the site does everything it is supposed to do and surpasses every DVD site online right now.
The one navigation feature I do not recommend is the model search. You need to know the name of the model you’re looking for. You also will run into pages of models with the same names. I’m sure there are improvements that could be made, but even if they don’t improve, they are still one of the best value sites on the internet.

Pros:
- I believe it’s the largest of the DVD sites at current time.
- The overall numbers are a major plus but the various fetishes and niches interest me more.
- Nearly all newer DVDs are HD and they have over 10,000 HD DVDS, plus over 20,000 SD DVDs
- Very good download speeds (80% of max) which is important when downloading DVD scenes.
- Plenty of classic stars, scenes and DVDs too.
- Two new DVDs added per day.
Cons:
- There’s a reason a site can have nearly 30,000 DVDs, add two per day, nearly 150,000 scenes and 20,000 porn stars. A lot of it is bargain bin level. It used to be a lot of fun to try and sift through all these scenes to try and find that one diamond in the rough. Your mileage will (not may) vary. Bottom line will explain my method.
- Navigation is starting to become useless. I use the genre tab but even then, there’s a good chance someone used the wrong tag or forgot a tag.
Bottom Line:
When you join a DVD site you should know what you’re getting into. While there are DVDs from top studios across the world, there are some that are just a thrown together DVD of 5-6 similar scenes to fit the theme of the DVD’s title. You shouldn’t be expecting anything groundbreaking or revolutionary. These types of sites started with one main focus. Quantity. And for a long time, it was quantity over quality. I’m talking about technical quality. I don’t remember when the DVD sites started landing HD DVDs but Videosz does seem to be at the front of that group. They have over 10,000 DVDs that are in HD quality. If you’re not used to DVD porn, you may need to know this. Each DVD has 4-6 scenes on it. That means there are over 50,000 scenes on Videosz that are in HD quality.
I approach a DVD site the same way I have for around 10 years. Before that, I searched by model and that’s the easiest way to build yourself a large collection of your favorite model(s). There are models on here with over 100 scenes. I got out of that method as more and more of my favorite models kept retiring or god forbid … aging. I thought porn was fiction?
I started focusing on the niches, genres, fetishes and the specifics. You will find that these DVD sites are very good about filling your fetish needs. Even better than sites that revolve around one fetish. Who cares if it’s not exclusive? That kind of went out the window a decade ago. If I haven’t seen it, it’s exclusive and new to me. Here on Videosz they have 1,110 Handjob scenes, it’s likely higher than that. The numbers are usually a little behind. Even so, that’s bigger than any handjob site on the internet. If you like your scenes with at least four people, they have almost 3,000 of those scenes. If you like lesbian scenes they have over 13,000. I’m positive no lesbian site has that many scenes. If your fetishes and kinks included handjobs, lesbian and group sex scenes you just found the biggest source for all 3.
That is the value in a DVD site. The price is cheap. HD downloads on many of the scenes and you really don’t have to focus that much on what content you’re looking for since you should already know.
Videosz has pushed forward and started adding scenes from genres that go a little outside the straight sex world. They now have bisexual men and transsexual. The bisexual scenes are only around 500 according to their numbers and transsexual scenes are 1,400. You get a large variety of genres and a large amount of scenes. The only thing I can find to really complain about is a site like this one would be perfect for someone new to porn. You could try out all of the different genres and niches to see what you like and what you don’t. But I feel like a person new to porn would just be overwhelmed on the site. There’s so much content and a lot of it isn’t good. I have always recommended sites like this one to experienced collectors that are tired of joining a site that only covers one genre.
Everything works well in the navigation unless you start getting too specific. There are tags that you can click to find similar scenes. It’s just too much content to go through that. What ends up happening, you will want to use more than 1 tag for your search and the tags start breaking if you use more than one. If you chose Teen, then chose handjob. It may give you Teens giving handjobs but it also may mix it all up. That was also always a problem for DVD sites.
It's still a good and relevant site that is worth joining maybe every other year.

Pros:
-Huge amount and wide variety of content from Private, DDF and other well-known studios, also Bang-produced exclusive content.
-Rich site functionality with good navigation and streaming options - can set point-of-interest markers on the streaming navigation slider.
-Detailed scene information with links to model scenes, movie scenes and movies/series from the scene studio/producer.
-Scenes can searched for and filtered by category tags.
-Model index.
-History page shows all scenes visited, you can create your own playlists in addition to Watch Later and Favourites.
-Can like/unlike scenes, add to Favourites, Watch Later or other playlists (but see cons).
-Plenty of HD content and 4K with reasonable downloaded file sizes (also 720p, 540 and 360p content dating back over a decade!)
-Good download speeds with resumable downloads with a download manager and no limits.
-Membership continues after Prime subscription expires, allowing you to browse new scenes (but see cons).
-Good value.
Cons:
-Most content is not exclusive.
-Some scenes missing model info, incorrect model(s) listed in some scenes.
-Lots of duplicated content.
-No photosets (doesn't bother me but worth mentioning).
-Performance can be slow on older computers and browsers - performance is generally not great on older PCs with scenes taking a while to load.
-Some pages don't load correctly, missing scene preview images.
-Playlists (Favourites, Watch Later and custom lists) seem to be limited to 100 scenes (with no warning).
-LIKEing a scene confusingly adds it to Favourites.
-Poor editing of some scenes with ending cut too early, sometimes just before the cumshot!
-Quirky site behaviour, particularly with adding or removing scenes to/from collections (see bottom line).
-Models listed but have no scenes/content.
-Ads.
-Some older (not sharp) HD content encoded at excessive bitrates (some at 20Mb/s) so huge file size.
Bottom Line:
-A mega site with over 25000 movies from 261 studios, which make up in excess of 130,000 scenes. Where to start with content that dates back over more than a decade!? Content is a mixture of exclusive scenes produced by Bang and partners, the rest is produced by other studios and is included as movies.
-The home page tells you how many videos you've watched, showing you a list of newly released scenes, with recommended scenes based on your viewing history. There are options for navigating and listing content:
* a left-side menubar has links for new videos, trending, most popular, most liked and upcoming (early access with streaming only).
* a BANG channels page lists 25 channels such as 18 and Extreme, 18 and Black, 18 Schoolgirlz, Mom and Abused, Amateurs, Anal Virgins and so on.
* a categories sidebar of 67 unique categories such as anal, amateur, blowjob, teen, bbw, black, asian and so on.
These channels are just glorified category filters for scenes, but are helpful for locating content you might be interested in.
-Navigation is good, with scenes listed in order of latest release date and can be filtered by categories such as anal, DP and so on. The options for scene listing are:
* thumbnail gallery of 32 scene thumbnails per page with mouse-over rolling screencaps.
* detailed listing of 32 scenes per page showing six screencaps from each scene.
* movie listing of 36 large movie thumbnails per page.
The scene screencaps above provide a useful (if limited) scene preview, helpful in deciding whether or not to skip a scene. From scene listings you can add a scene to Favourites or Watch Later, you can also click on model name to browse their scenes. Scene listing also has a categories sidebar for filtering scenes, with applied categories listed at the top, allowing you to remove an applied category as desired.
-Browsing a scene allows streaming and download of the scene, with streaming made easy with keyboard controls, allowing you to skip forward/back 10 seconds, as well as the usual scene navigation using the mouse which also shows thumbnails on the navigation slider to help you get to the good parts quickly. The scene page includes links to model's other scenes, to the movie, the movie series and to the producer/studio's other content, so it's easy to be lead down a rabbit-hole of scene browsing!
-A very useful and necessary feature of the site are scene collections/playlists. There are Favourite and Watch Later playlists provided but you can create your own named ones, which is just as well because each playlist can contain a maximum of 100 scenes! There's no warning of that - if you add a scene to a playlist with 100 scenes, a random scene from that playlist will be silently dropped to make room for the one you've just added. As mentioned in cons, the collections functionality can be somewhat quirky: added scenes not always immediately appearing in the collection (whether Favourites, Watch Later or whatever) until after adding more scenes; also, removed scenes sometimes remain in the collection until some random time later on. Clicking the Like button in a scene adds it to the Favourites collection, which is unexpected and initially confusing. The final bugbear with the collections facility is that there's no indication from the scene page which collection(s) that scene has been added to, unless of course the scene is a favourite. All of this will probably only bother those folk with long-term memberships who are lovingly organising their favourite content.
-How you navigate the huge amount of content will be your first decision. My initial approach was to do a search on my favourite porn models and locate all their scenes, then clicking on the scene series for anything of interest. I also filtered all of the scenes to find ones with my favourite categories, and again from each scene I'd look at other scenes from the same series. I don't know if that approach would work for all, but it was pretty quick and effective for finding scenes I liked, though the starting point of filtering scenes by favourite pornstars seems a good starting point. Be aware that when browsing a model's scenes, there are many duplicate/recycled scenes.
-The site provides lots of other functionality: account settings allow you to switch on/off settings such as scene autoplay, dark theme, playlist toolbar, you can even set preferred categories or hide chosen categories for use in your default search and in scene filters. The setting to switch off ads (they're not very intrusive) seemingly does nothing.
-Despite the gripes, I highly recommend this site, though if you already have a large porn collection, much of the content you may already have (as I found) but it's great site for exploring a wide variety of scenes that go back decades. Also finding a Prime membership deal is pretty easy, so it's also good value though I'd recommend a long-term membership if you want to browse all the content. All in all recommended.

Pros:
The biggest, most overwhelming porn site I have ever joined.
132,436 scenes and they update with at least 12 scenes per day.
18,144 models, that's a small city.
Their original series scenes are quite good.
45,107 of the scenes are available in HD quality and 1,613 of the scenes are available in 4K.
Somehow this monstrosity of a site has good navigation.
No problems using the biller that others have experienced according to the comments here.
Cons:
Maybe I should quit my job? This is like a mountain of porn came crashing down on my computer.
The size of this site very well could be its biggest con. I am using the category filter to at least find some content I want, but the pages and pages of scenes is just frustrating.
Bottom Line:
I was looking for a site with a little bit of everything. A little bit. This site has a whole lot of everything. Some of the less popular niches I like have these totals:
395 bisexual scenes which is more than 90% of the bisexual standalone sites I have joined. They make that and my point even clearer when they show me they also have a bi-sexual category with 14 more scenes.
1,285 "shemale" scenes. What I do like about their search engine is you can click shemale, it brings up the 1,285 scenes. You can then click solo and it searches within the 1,285 shemale scenes and shows 44 of them are solo.
Niches that are usually very uncommon are common on this site. The Voyeur category brings up 1,419 scenes. They even have 1,787 compilation scenes.
While I did find a lot of scenes to download in the above specified favorite categories, it's their Original series that sets them apart for me. They have 12 of these Original series. These scenes have high production value, but it looks like they have stopped releasing many of them. It could be due to the Pandemic, but it's still disappointing.
The video quality does vary the further back you go, but most of what I have watched is at worst 480p and are decent quality. I am not as much into the technical parts. Most of my interest porn started with Vivid, bisexual scenes and males masturbating. Most of those are in 480p quality or standard definition.
The problem with the older scenes is I am thinking these are just from DVDs and a lot of them are not interesting. One of my main reasons for joining this site was the content I used to get from Tainster. This site has 36 DVDs of Party Hardcore content. These DVDs are broken into parts which was the only disappointing part about finding them here. The Party Hardcore site also breaks the performances into multiple parts which can be difficult to watch as they change camera angles from scene to scene. When combined with all the bisexual content and transsexual solo content, it makes this site a very good value for me. I just wouldn't want to be a member trying to find something without knowing what you're looking for. The navigation is handled by just clicking boxes. It works well, but the categories are often vague and unless you know exactly what to type into the search box, like "Party Hardcore", I believe you could spend a month just looking for the content you want. I don't see this as a site I will return much, but it was good for finding some specific content I was looking for.

Pros:
THOUSANDS OF VIDEOS
Top shelf talent both classic and new
Still frequently updated
Newest videos are 1080p with some being 2160p
Great download speeds
No download limit
Cons:
THOUSANDS OF VIDEOS
Your gonna need a new external drive
Clumsy search index
Site needs an update
Majority of site is 360p-480p (see below)
Bottom Line:
I listed thousands of videos in both pros and cons because this is a site that you can easily get lost in. Dvd's and pornstars go way back to the early 80's. So plan your membership length accordingly, if your looking for the older suff it's gonna take longer than 30 days to go through this site, I can't stress how big this site is!
Site is in the same vein as adult time as in They have their own content as well as multiple other sites offering there catalogs here including penthouse, smash pictures and lethal hard core to name a few. Immoral productions is also offered here too (I'm so jealous of Porno Dan!!). Also like adult time is even though the site has content here it is not their entire catalog. To access their stuff in it's entirety you of coarse have to join their site.
Most videos are understandably low resolution as the site has videos from the infancy of the net, most older videos are 360p-480p, while sill watchable may put off some members. The newer stuff is all the way up to 720p 1080p and some 2160p.
The site itself is nothing special, not a con, just saying it doesn't cater to any particular fetish and is just mainstream porn. But do not get me wrong, as far as their own content, it's pretty good. I'd say above average but still vanilla. A couple of the newer channels is what I joined for, those being ynger and real teens. These are Bang! own original series and are worth the price of admission by themselves. I like them mostly because they focus on "teens" (we all know some of them have been 18 for about 6 years lol) newcomers so a lot of fresh faces.
Site feels a bit dated but is still functional. My main gripe is the seriously messed up search function. Go alphabetically and you get just a streamlined listing of models. Go letter by letter and you get more models listed but still not all. I typed in and manually searched for various models not listed and they did have content from them. A couple were listed but had no content so why bother listing them?
I took points off for the search function, other wise this site overall is a dam good site worth a membership.

Pros:
- I'm thinking it's the biggest porn site on the internet.
- It's a DVD site sort of and a separate studio that shoots their own content and that licenses some content that's only available on previously exclusive sites.
- The amount of classic content makes it worth joining. I'll go into that in BL.
- Navigation is pretty good considering how much content they have.
- Download speeds are very good, 80%+ of my max download speed.
- TBP/PU price makes it an even better deal
- Could be a treasure trove for collectors and likewise, could be a good place for newer porn users to start a collection.
- Numbers that are unbelievable in amount of content.
- The original content is on par with most of the big networks like DDF, Reality Kings, etc...
- Updates 4 full DVDs per day and 4-5 updates per week from their original content.
- Will leave you feeling like you got your money's worth.
- 16,500+ models
Cons:
- Well, it can be overwhelming. I think the numbers will show that better than I can say it.
- Here's a real con, the vast majority of the videos that aren't their original content come in all shapes and sizes of resolution. Including some as low as 480p.
- In some sort of strange way, I consider this a con, there's a lot of content on here that was exclusive to other sites for many years. Maybe it just feels like I've spent all those years collecting exclusive content now see a portion of it here in one place.
Bottom Line:
I usually start a review with a lead-in to the expected tone of my review but...
118,552 videos. Over 20,000 DVDs included in that number.
Others have mentioned the connection to Videosz and I can see that too. Some of the videos I've download still have the Videosz watermark on them. But there's also videos from once exclusive sites like DDF and 21 Sextury. Consider me shocked on those two. I thought maybe the DDF content would be a small sampling but it's over 700 videos from DDF.
The studios they have on here are common for DVD sites to have but not in this amount. They have 1,649 videos from Private. And 3,600+ from Eromaxx. Eromaxx is the studio behind Tainster. I do remember Videosz having some of Eromaxx's content for nearly 4,000 videos? More than anything, I'm showing why it's overwhelming even to an old porn digger like me. I have joined DDF, 21 Sextury, Eromaxx/Tainster and been overwhelmed by their sites. Here, they have these studios plus 8 pages of more studios. I would need a year subscription to this site to feel like I covered all of it.
Also of note: When you come to a DDF video on their site, under the video it states it's from DDF and that's on every video that's not exclusive to Bang. I think it's a nice touch because it shows they're not trying to fool anyone.
Their DVDs took up the first 3 weeks of my membership. April Flowers, one of my favorite models to collect, has more content on here than my entire 10 year collection of her has in it. She was a huge star in the late 90s, early 2000s. Charlie from Vivid? She's here. Just name a model, they're here. My all-time favorite model Eve Angel almost always did exclusive content only. She has 30 videos on here.
There is the one big con and that's the varying quality. I'm taking a guess that whoever licensed this content from exclusive sites did so for the original content not any remastered content. Same with DVDs, they are in the original resolution so you will see a lot of 640x480 (the old standard in DVDs) videos but where does the need for quality pass the need for quantity? A good example, the April Flowers scenes, because they are from around 2000, I've never seen them anywhere in any better than 480p quality. So, no loss there but there are DVDs here that I have seen at other DVD sites in better quality.
Over to their original content. They have it separated into sites like most networks do. You get these exclusive, original sites with amount of content out from each:
Bang! Real Teens - 107 scenes
Confessions - 53 scenes
Glamkore - 33 scenes
Bang! Japan - 353 scenes
Casting - 77 scenes
Real MILFs - 7 scenes
Gonzo - 56 scenes
This original content is very similar to what you'll find on the big networks. I will mention that the Japan content is uncensored and as the number of scenes shows it updates a lot.
So, if I were to try and explain what this site is it would go like this ... it's a newer network that has read and heard many complaints about not enough content so they went and added a top-tier DVD site and collection to their site so if you feel there's not enough original content, you can go back and find some DVDs you want or collect favorite models.
I can say with confidence that this hasn't ever been tried, at least not on the scale they are doing it. I do remember a few networks trying to add DVD content to their bonus sections but I would say Bang's non-exclusive content surpasses Videobox and Videosz. Which shows the value. With the TBP/PU price at $17.99, you're getting a DVD site as good as the best DVD sites and an exclusive network too. For some reason, I keep going back to the Japanese content. I have always been intrigued by Japanese models but most of the hardcore or even solo masturbation I've found is censored. Their Japanese content includes uncensored, situational masturbation, like sitting in what is supposed to be a public place with a skirt on. One camera shows the model's face while the other is in front of her skirt, under the table, showing her masturbating in "public". The other original sites they have are good but I have been burnt out on most of the straightforward network content.
My score might not look as impressive to some but I'm putting a personal twist on the score because I don't have the time to go through all this content. I also believe it goes into elevating quantity over quality which has also hurt the DVD sites in my recent reviews of those. If you have the time and patience to go through 122,000 videos and you like current networks like Reality Kings, add 10 points on my score. I did get all the April Flowers content and a couple of other old favorites. I also downloaded 75 of the Japan scenes too. Others will say my score isn't bad and it's not meant to be. This is a good site for anyone. Collectors like me will find content they haven't seen of their favorite models. Others will like the original content. It's deserving of the praise it's receiving.

Pros:
-Loads of good content from various studios.
-Some exclusive to BANG!, such as BANG! Originals.
-Wide variety of hardcore genres, something for everyone here.
-Good search - flexible navigation options with scene screencaps.
-Scenes link to model, movie name, movie series and studio name.
-Can LIKE and post comments on videos.
-Videos have tags to aid search and content filtering.
-Can save videos and models to Favourites and playlists.
-Plenty of HD content and newer scenes available in 4K.
-Scenes can be streamed with flexible options provided.
-Can download scenes at various resolutions: 360p, 540p, 740p, 1080p and 2160p where available.
-Good download speeds with no limits and works with download managers.
-Login sessions take a long time to expire, which makes downloading easier.
-Some scenes have photosets which are downloadable as ZIP files.
-Membership seems to continue after subscription expires and you can still stream some (older) content.
Cons:
-Only newer scenes have photosets.
-Content is not exclusive.
-Older content not available in HD (not a fault of the site but of the technology when the content was first shot).
-You can search for a model for whom no content exists - where's the point in that?.
-LIKEing a scene adds it to your favourites, causing some confusion.
-Some older HD content is unnecessarily encoded at very high bit rates (such 18Mb/s), meaning huge files, even though the content itself isn't that sharp or detailed and so doesn't benefit from a high bit rate.
-A lot of duplicate content with different scene names and titles, usually easy to spot as long as you browse scenes by model's name because the screencaps are the same or similar. I weeded out over 50GB of duplicate downloaded content, thanks to investing in a duplicate files finder.
-There's just too much content to easily digest! (though maybe not a bad thing).
-Advertising, though it's not too intrusive imho.
Bottom Line:
-Bang.com is essentially a mega site, much like Videoz and Videobox - in fact some of the older content here I've previously seen on Videobox over 6 years ago. Some of the content is over 10 years old.
-I really like the navigation options: scenes have links to model(s), the movie the scene comes from, the series the movie belongs to and the studio, meaning that related content is very easy to browse if you find something you like - this makes it easier to find content you're interested in, for example, if I view a creampie scene that I like, it links to the movie called Creampie Girls Vol 4 listing all scenes, which in turn links to the series Creampie Girls which lists all the movies in the series. The only problem with that flexibility is that you can get lost and forget what you were originally looking at.
-You can browse models by country, though you have to click on a model's details first to get the country link.
-Whilst most content in encoded at reasonable bit rates, I found quite a lot of HD content that's encoding at higher bit rates than is reasonable. I identified them and re-encoded them and saved over 22GB of disk space! This might not bother you in this age of cheap storage, but it's worth mentioning.
-You can navigate the vast content via channels like Hot Step Moms, 18 and Abused, 18 and Black, and so on.
-A lot of the content is very hot and there's a variety of genres, including shemale, BDSM, plenty of gangbang and most other hardcore genres you can think of.
-Streaming the content is very flexible: use the left and right arrow keys for going back or forward 10 seconds, spacebar to pause/play, up/down arrow to increase or lower the volume and M to mute. A top tip if you're streaming just to quickly preview the scene before downloading it: click on the cog icon on the right-hand side of the progress bar and choose a lower bitrate (say 720p if you're watching a 1080p scene) to make the streaming faster and less prone to buffering/pauses.
-The fact that your actual membership of BANG! continues after your subscription expires is brilliant and a very canny decision by whoever runs the web site, after all if you can preview scenes that you want to download, you're more likely to start a new subscription.
-Overall: good value for money and worth joining, though you may need more than a month to digest everything BANG! has to offer.
Was a member approx. 2 months prior to this review.
Pros:
- An almost inconceivable amount of content
- Newer stuff is HD
- Apparently the entire Videosz.com library but with Bang watermarks
- No download limits
- Long timeouts for download links
- No constant auto-logouts.
- Content dates back at least to 80s in some cases, maybe earlier.
- Original content specific to Bang
- Streaming and downloading available
Cons:
- No photos that I've seen, but I haven't looked too hard.
- Older content isn't HD (not much of a con because technological limitations)
- Some actresses will be listed but won't have any content available
- Old content is pretty poor quality
- Ads inside
Bottom Line:
Holy cow what a site. It's enormous. The site claims 117,000+ videos, and I believe it. It is one of those sites that you join and think to yourself, "Yes, this is how this entire thing is supposed to work." Search for an actress and (most of the time) there she is. Often with a dozen or more clips available. Want content from an actress? They've probably got it.
There are options to choose "channels" such as "Bang Originals", "Glamcore", "Hot Step Moms", and others, and there are tags to direct you to other clips. I find those a bit too vague, but something that is really nice is that the clip usually has the name of the actress, the name of the movie, the name of the series, and the name of the studio all underneath the streamable video, and all clickable. You also have options to make playlists and create favorites.
Even with the most recent Bang Original clips I've only seen up to 1080p video downloads offered, so that might be a con for some. I find the video quality to be acceptable and appropriate for the size, but most of the time the smaller 720p offerings look just as good to my eyes. Most of the middle-to-older content seems to be available in up to 540p, and it looks decent considering the source material. The oldest stuff is 360p or worse, and it looks it. That's not a dealbreaker, but it's something you'll encounter often if you look at actresses who worked a couple of decades ago.
Every video that I clicked on was available for streaming.
The content is apparently shared with Videosz.com, so if you join Bang you get all of the other site but not vice versa. I think there's a good case to be made to join Bang over Videosz for that reason, but I'm not a member of Videosz.com and can't say what may or may not be an advantage to lean the other way.
Every video's page has ads on the lowest part of the page, which counts against the site every time. I paid to be in here, guys. If you want to offer *me* discounts, make a page I can click on to re-direct and join with the affiliate link. Those ads aren't there to save *me* money, even though they ultimately may. Those ads are there to make the website money off of the same people who have already paid money to get past the paywall.
A nice touch is that there are additional actress suggestions underneath every video that is being streamed or downloaded. I'm not entirely sure if they are related to anything or might just share some similar tags, but it's a good way to discover actresses you might not know about.
The actresses will sometimes have duplicate scenes, but it's fairly forgivable just because of the vast amount of content available. Many actresses I clicked have over 100 clips to download. Wow.
The search option works well, and if you give it a moment while you type it will try to match your entry with suggestions in real time.
Also, it might be worth a look around to see what other sites share content. I saw some stuff from partyhardcore and some other familiar content, so you might save money at the other sites while also getting thousands of other clips.
Bottom line? One of the best adult sites I know of. Fairly vanilla but with wildly varying movies available, and it includes some raunchy stuff like gonzo, shemale, etc., too.

Pros:
Bang! Has a lot of pros:
1) As of today their are 113,329 Videos
2) A wide variety of high quality porn from many good producers of porn. At least videos from 246 studios.
3) Their is no download limit
4) Some photo sets are available with their prime videos
5) Some of the hottest current and past porn stars have HD videos on this site.
6) They offer multiple exclusive BANG! only created content totaling 5 sites.
7) You can view the site as 23 channels to make viewing easier.
8) Their membership is very affordable in fact I got mine for around $9
Cons:
Bang! has a lot of cons:
1) Sometimes they have multiples of the same scene swelling their numbers in a needless way, just keep the HD scenes imo.
2) Only 1/3 of their library is in HD a little over 42k videos, and some of these are 720p.
3) They will try to cross sale you other sites on sign up
4) Their could be far more photo sets in better definition
5) Their older content has poor transfer quality leading to blurring and missing pixels but still better than other top mega sites
6) They will often times update with content already on their site instead of new content
7) It is almost impossible to sort for HD videos
8) Most of their content is non exclusive
Bottom Line:
For the longest time I did not join BANG! because I had gotten a lot of their content from Videoz whom you can tell from my previous review I really liked. Which is unfortunate and I will explain in this review why.
The Good.
This is now what I consider to be the finest porn mega site on the internet for an affordable price. At over 100k videos, 40k of which are HD from over 240 studios you will probably be able to find your brand of smutt on this site. Their are almost 7300 Dp's on this site.
They have 5 exclusive sites that are very good. The best of which in my opinion is called Bang! Casting. Allow me to sing the praises of this single site. Hookup Hotshot is rough but I cannot stand seeing fake eyelashes all of the girls faces. Facial Abuse is rough but I could do with better production values and less vomit. But Bang! Casting has JUST the right amount of roughness in each scene. Without a doubt this single site has the most rough sex with the best starlets in the business in my opinion and I have seen them all. This is kind of my area of expertise. For this one site alone I would have paid $30 a month. Its a fine line between gonzo and no production values and yet this site strikes the perfect balance.
The Bad
Their is a lot of non exclusive content here. But their is also a lot of content in even better quality than what you can get on the studios official site. I have found about 50 scenes which are better than what I got on the official site. In addition I found a higher quality scene for every scene I downloaded from VideoZ making me think that Bang! is now far and away the best porn mega site provider on the internet.
But still their is a lot of low quality content (About 60% of their entire library). They could update more often, true updates not fake recycle updates.
My thoughts on how the site could improve itself.
Re-encoding and up-scaling old scenes has a lot of value. I would like to see some famous scenes get the restoration treatment. Some Sasha Grey and Carmilla Bing scenes could really use some love in this area. The only reason I bring this up is because I suspect they do up-scale videos already.
I would like to see more current stars get DP's on Bang! Casting. I would like to see at least 1 new Bang! Casting scene per week as it is my opinion this is far and away their best content on the web.
The Bottom Line
If you are looking for a mega porn site that has rare videos in high quality then this is the site for you! If you are looking for rough sex done right then you have come to the right place. If you are looking for the most bang for the buck it would be hard to beat this site. So I now crown Bang! as my number 1 suggested porn mega site with exceptional rough sex scenes!

Pros:
- Huge site
- Hundreds of Studios
- Thousands of Videos (non-exclusive)
- Original material is very good
- Four distinct original sub-sites
- Full trial
- Bills through Epoch
- Photos available
- Allows download managers
Cons:
- Bitrates are a bit lower than standard
Bottom Line:
Its difficult to write a review of this site in 5000 characters because it is so large and so broad. Because of that Ill make some general comments on the overall site and then address the original material specifically.
The overall site is huge and appears to be either a clone of or at least affiliated with Videosz. Videosz is one of the largest mega sites on the net and Bang is no exception in that regard. A membership to Bang will give you access to thousands of videos from hundreds of studios ranging from recent to 20+ years old. Sites like these are an excellent source for finding older videos for collectors. For example, Bang offers many older titles from JM Productions and many of the scenes are higher resolution than what is offered at JMs own site.
Its fair to say that access to the non-exclusive stuff is worth the price of admission here but, in my opinion, the real value is original material. Ill focus on that for the rest of the review.
Bang.com is a studio in its own right, producing some top-quality original porn and they make it available here as well as on DVD.
There are four sub-sites offering original material. These are, in no particular order:
This is, in my opinion, one of the best casting style sites available. If youre a fan of casting style videos this is worth checking out. The scenes all feature known A-list porn models so in that sense they aren't true casting videos but the style of having an interview followed by a sex scene aligns them with that genre. What sets this site apart is that in many of the videos the interview takes place outdoors or in a public place and often features public nudity. Im a big fan of public nudity and really appreciate that this site does it well. It isn't on the same scale as FTV Girls but it is very well done. The sex scene follows and is shot in a hotel.
There are currently 32 video available with streaming and downloads. The site updates with a new scene weekly.
Bang Gonzo
This sub-site offers truth in labelling: its a purely gonzo site with A-list models in hot sex scenes with Manuel Ferrara in all of them. Manuel brings his usual intensity to the scenes and, as is his style, he showcases the beautiful women he is with. True to the title, there is little or no scene set-up Manuel and his co-star are on the set and the sex begins.
There are currently 32 video available with streaming and downloads. The site updates with a new scene weekly.
Bang Confessions
This site is difficult to categorize. It isn't an interview; it isn't really gonzo; its a combination of both. The scenes have some interviews with the models and we get a sense of their personality and then there is a gonzo sex scene thrown in for good measure. As with all Bang originals, the models are current A-list.
The site currently has 11 videos and update irregularly. Lately the updates have been approximately once per month.
Bang Casting
This sub-site is apt to be the most polarizing since it follows a casting theme but tends to be very rough. The scenes see the model (an A-list as usual) getting roughed up by one or multiple men. The scenes often have rough anal sex and sometimes have the model being spat on. There are a few scenes with the model being urinated on. All of this is clearly consensual.
There are currently 32 scenes available. The site updates at least monthly but some updates have been added more frequently.
Overall the original sites offer streaming (no resolution options) and downloads. The downloads are all mp4 and are available in 360p, 540p, 720p, 1080p, 2160p (4K). The notable exception is that Bang Real Teens does not have the 4K option. I downloaded the 720p scenes and found that the bitrates (at just over 2000 kbps) are a bit low but the scenes look good.
Photos are available as zips only but it is fair to say that this isn't a photo site. Photo size is 1735x2600.
The site allows download managers for queuing scenes and I had no issues using one for that. I found the download speeds slightly slower than I normally see on similar sites but nothing that is worth complaining about.
The site offers a full trial and that may be worth trying just to see the site or download a few scenes but my advice is that if you are a true collector you wont be satisfied with a trial. Even without a discount this site offers excellent value. The trial (and full membership) bill through Epoch so cancelling is easy.
This site deserves a deeper dive but Im running out of space. The bottom line? At the risk of trademark infringement the easy answer to the question of should you join this site is Just Do It. Ive been an avid and active porn collector for more than 20 years and I can say without reservation that this is one of the best sites Ive encountered in the past few years. I will rejoin again and again and if they offered a better deal for recurring memberships I wouldnt leave.

Pros:
+ Great search, filtering, sorting tools to navigate DVDs and pornstars.
+ Frequent updates. (Looks like 2-3 DVDs daily.)
+ Large amount of full HD content.
+ Intuitive Web site design.
+ Ability to "favorite" DVDs, scenes and pornstars
+ Ability to create playlists.
+ Plenty of variety in porn videos. (i.e. something for everyone!)
+ Works well with download manager
Cons:
- Web site design a bit antiquated. If viewing on a large monitor, only fills out about half the screen.
Bottom Line:
I avoided the large, DVD mega-sites for a long period of time. I enjoyed the smaller sites for their generally higher quality videos that were focused on the genres I enjoyed.
VideosZ dispelled my prejudices for mega-sites when I joined up for the fist time about a year ago. The search and filtering tools allow me to hone in on the porn I want. Once on the search screen, there is a "genres" bar on the right that allows you to select categories I like and exclude categories I don't. The best part of the search tools is after the filtering, there is still a huge number of search results to browse through. I especially enjoy the feature that allows me to download video files from the search screen. (Most sites have the extra step of clicking into a streaming page before downloading.)
To sum up, VideosZ is well worth the $17.95 monthly fee. (w/ the TBP discount!) They also give you access to bang.com, that has a lot of the same content but there is some original bang.com content.
Current Member for less than 1 month (at the time of review).
Pros:
+Huge library of 18,000 movies and more or over 105,000 scenes to choose from.
+They add three new movies per day.
+Over 13,000 performers to choose from ranging in age, enthnicity, appearance and place of birth.
+ You can download all the scenes in MP4 and the resolution varies but usually 640 x480 is the best for older scenes.
+There are now over 20,000 1080p HD scenes on the site to download.
+You get to see up to a months worth of futur updates.
+Movies/scenes can be streamed online.
+Each scene is tagged with multple keyords that help narrow results when searching those keywords.
+The search engine allows to search by performers name, studio, keywords to name a few.
+Site is not overly crowded with third party advertising.
+They manage to offer studios not available on videobox and they don't expect you to pay more to get access to their entire library.
Cons:
-Scene tagging could use improvement. As it is searching by keywords is never going to give you as good a return as I would like.
-A huge percentage of updates is older content and sometimes it is actually many years old and that includes the more recent updates as well.
-A large percentage of the newer updates is actually content taken from various websites so it's important to make sure you don't already have that on your computer.
-Content is not exclusive as this site shares a decent amount of movies with videobox.
-The older content is starting to show it's age and they haven't bothered to remaster any of it so that's not going to change.
-They can't seem to offer a studios entire library of content which can be quite frustrating.
-There is a lot of duplication of content within the site in large part because one studio sold the rights to another and the same scene can be found under more than one studio.
Bottom Line:
*My last review is fours year old and it wouldn't surprise me if that is also the length of time since I was last a member. I can safely say that as far as I can see absolutely nothing has changed in regards to site design and ease of use which is a good thing because changes aren't always positive. It's simple, uncluttered and rather easy to find a decent amount of content without doing too much research. Of course adding more keywords to the scenes and making sure they are accurate would definitely help.
*It would be nice if they tried to Remaster some of the older content.
*One of the advantages with joining this site is that you get access to some studios like VB don't have and unlike VB that teases it's customer with content that they can see but don't actually have access to. VideosZ is kinder because you get all of the content for one amount and no request to upgrade membership.
*The adding of HD is sure to please many people but be forewarned that a percentage of these scenes is actually content taken from websites.
*I think this site is a must for anyone that is interested in getting more than what they paid for because you clearly get this when you join VideosZ.

Pros:
- One of the largest DVD sites on the internet.
- Lots of HD scenes as long as you consider 720p to be HD.
- A few standout studios (Eromaxx, Elegant Angel with standard membership come to mind), you won't find on other DVD sites.
- Though the search engine isn't the best, between it and the tags, categories, it is the easiest of the DVD sites to use and find what you're looking for.
- Good PU member price at $17.99 with no additional charges or add-on channels to buy.
- Lowest quality videos I've found are 540p, nearly 4,000 DVDs, 20,000+ scenes are 720p or 1080p.
- More varied niches that update regularly.
- Download speeds are above average and consistent.
Cons:
- There's not a lot wrong with Videosz, as with any site of this size it can get frustrating trying to find specific niches, but it's still not that bad.
- Older videos highest resolution option is 540p, I'm reaching here since it's expected to see older videos be lower quality.
- Could use a little more "classic" scenes, though my definition of classic is only late 90s, early 2000s.
Bottom Line:
Back several years ago, I posted reviews for both Videobox and Videosz and said I was starting to like Videosz better. Now, it's not even a question. There's niches here that I don't have much interest in, but they should be there. With these DVD sites they should offer as vast of a selection as possible to mimic old video stores.
One of my favorite parts of Videosz are the different studios. Eromaxx currently has 372 DVDs on Videosz, a total of 2,987 scenes. Eromaxx is an excellent studio/standalone fetish network. Being able to get a lot of their content included with your membership to Videosz is a major plus. I've never seen a single scene of theirs on other DVD sites. Elegant Angel, a standalone site and Videobox premium channel that costs $15 to add on VB, is included in your subscription on Videosz. The amount of scenes is pretty similar, VB has 1,644 Elegant Angel scenes, while Videosz has 1,551.
They also have other smaller studios I haven't seen on other DVD sites. The search engine is usable, but I'm not going to say it's 100% accurate. The site as a whole has a nice, clean design with drop-down menus that allows you to separate scenes/DVDs by studio, actress, category/niche. You also won't find perfect tagging or niche-listing, but again, it's not bad.
It's hard to get around making comparisons as to why Videosz has surpassed Videobox, for example, Videobox added tranny/shemale DVDs awhile back, but some members complained so they stopped adding those. Members complained about handjob videos so those slowed. Videosz keeps a more balanced update of genres. I never really understood why a DVD site would limit itself to certain genres based just on the vocal members complaints.
The standout here is Eromaxx's inclusion. They are a pure fetish network that adds a lot of variety to the usual bland world of DVD sites. They are most known for their "public" orgy sites, Party Hardcore, Drunk Sex Orgy, and those are here, but there's also scenes from Fully Clothed Sex, My Fetish and nearly all of the sites included in a Tainster membership.
The overall technical quality is good. They've cut back on daily updates, going from 5 to 3 DVDs, which is normally a bad thing, but of the new updates, roughly 2 out of every 3 are HD quality. It looks like they're trying to add a little more quality over quantity, which I think is a good thing on a DVD site. Based on their numbers they have 3,145 HD DVDs as of 12/14/2015 and those DVDs equal 16,039 HD scenes.
The download speeds reach 90% of my download max speed and it rarely drops. Free Download Manager works, but for whatever reason if you load up a bunch of links, it gives a generic name listing in the download manager's list. Instead of saying "Big Wet Ass scene 1" it will say "video 12" then the next 10 listed will also say "video 12". This can be frustrating if you're downloading a lot of scenes at once since you can't see what you've already put in the list. Once you start the download manager the names change from the generic name to the real name.
I gave up downloading thousands of scenes per month, so I really can't say much about the download limits. I download 25-50 scenes a day, mostly because I've become more selective of what I download.
It's worth mentioning that I noticed a bonus section on their site. It says it's a reward system for loyal customers. It says after 3 successive months as a member you will start receiving bonus access to premium videos from Vivid, Hustler and Club Jenna. Not really for sure how I feel about that since one of their biggest strengths, in my opinion, was keeping their site out of the add-on premium channel mess. I won't change my score for it since it doesn't cost anything to receive those add-ons, but will mention, there are zero Vivid DVDs included with their regular subscription.
Overall, I would say Videosz is the best DVD site on the internet.
Was a member approx. 6 months prior to this review.
Pros:
-So much content that it makes your head spin.
-Variety of niches that can appeal to many different fans. They have BDSM to Transsexuals to Lesbians to MILFs to Bisexual to BBWs, etc.
-The newer stuff has HD quality downloads.
-Very cheap for the amount of material they allow to view and download.
Cons:
-Older content video qualities are poorer.
-Beware of the links to other sites. If you press it, you will automatically be charged for that site.
-Most of the materials they have can be found in other sites that show DVD content.
-Could use a better system to sort through the material i.e. like if you want to get to page 245 out of 500, then they should have it so that you could get to that page faster then having to constantly press the latest number, and I believe their current system skips at 8 pages at a time.
Bottom Line:
If you are new to porn, this is definitely the site to go to and view. They have so many of the DVDs that are out there, so you can view it for the cost of an older DVD. Beware of the links, and enjoy the content.

Pros:
Frequent Updates
Large & varied selection
No download limit
No expiring links
Very transparent
Cons:
Mediocre video quality
Could use more tags
Watermarks on video
Nothing exclusive
Bottom Line:
VideosZ is a decent "mega DVD site". It is quite similar to VideoBox and much of my review of that site applies here, however there are some differences and overall I preferred VideosZ.
The first thing about VideosZ which I liked was how transparent it is about its content. As a non-member you get to use essentially the same UI that members do to search for content on the site. You can also see what the updates are for the day and what they will be on each day for the next week. In comparison, VideoBox hides all of this and makes its content and UI a mystery to potential members.
The site is fairly well organized and its pretty easy to find what you are looking for by studio, model, or tag. I do think they could use more tags to better help people find videos of particular types but at least its usable, accurate, and looks nice.
Downloading is similar to VideoBox in that it is awesome. Fast speeds, a 24hr login, and no expiring links.
VideosZ and VideoBox have a lot of overlapping content but there's enough differences on each site that you'd likely have a hard time choosing one library over another. Off the top of my head I believe Max Hardcore, White Ghetto, Smash Pictures, & Harmony Films were on VideosZ but not VideoBox. But they each have a bunch of videos the other does not.
VideosZ is missing a couple features VideoBox has such as being able to create custom clips or being able to scrub a video thumbnail to view it and choose a playing position. In contrast VideosZ navigation is overall nicer looking and the movie/model info much more accurate.
The most important things for me in a site are content, video quality, and value in that order. And while VideosZ (and VideoBox) do have good content, and arguably very good value, I feel that the video quality of both sites is significantly below where it should be for a pay site.
VideosZ videos come in 3 formats: avi 480p or less ~2200kbps, mp4 540p ~2800kbps, and HD mp4 720p ~5500kbps. Slightly under 10% of the DVDs are available in HD.
Unfortunately, those video specs are not really telling. For example it's possible to get a 720p video that looks pretty bad or one that looks pretty good and both have the exact same encoding specs. I assume the source videos vary wildly in quality.
I could be wrong, but it seemed like VideosZ had more "HD" content than VideoBox and their 720p videos are a slightly higher bit rate than VideoBox which was a bit below 4000kps. However every VideosZ video has a "www.VideosZ.com" water mark on it. I don't really mind this when the watermark is from the original studio, but I disliked seeing the VideosZ watermark on the video, sometimes leading to 2 watermarks, theirs and the original studio's.
It's also worth noting that VideosZ offers those who have been members for 3+ months access to additional videos from Vivid, Club Jenna, and their Hentai section. I have not tried any of that out though.
VideosZ is currently 17.95 thru PU/TBP compared to 12.00 for VideoBox. If you are not concerned with video quality, then both sites are very good. If video quality is important to you then their value diminishes a lot unless you are looking for an old video you don't expect good quality from.

Pros:
- Huge library of older dvds from both wellknown and lesser known studios.
- Very good indexing of acresses & their aliases. Have found many scenes with my favorite actresses previously unknown to me.
- Stable site and downloads. Using a download manager works just fine.
- Video quality of standard definition scenes/files is surprisingly good given the compression. Even older avi-files looks ok when downloaded, upscaled and zoomed to widescreen (using a better quality media streamer on a full hd-tv).
- Discounted price through TBP gives good value.
Cons:
- Legal terms: seems like you are billed for 1 month at a time while quitting membership is more or less immediate. This is biased against the customer who might not get the full 30 days he/she paid for.
- Not easy find what you are looking for. The content categories are not very detailed and search options are limited. No information on who directed a movie/scene. Most "free" tube sites provides better indexing of their material.
- Personally I would prefer being greeted by the choosen username instead of my real name on the site.
Bottom Line:
This is the first pay site I ever signed up for, so I have not much to compare with.
The site offers a huge archive of older scenes and I have had no technical problems with it. Basically I would rate it above "Average" and below "Excellent". The biased legal terms and limited scene detail information limits the use and therefore I reward this site with a score of 80. Its a good site really, but far from being even close to "Excellent".
Current Member for over 2 months (at the time of review).
Pros:
Huge selection of videos with 74,000 scenes, 54 categories, 9 sites.
Excellent high quality video.
Supports Roku streaming.
Never a problem.
Free access to Vivid, Hustler, and Club Jenna videos when member for 3 months.
Members can keep their own playlists.
Fast downloads.
Has HD and DVD movies.
Daily updates.
No download limits.
Cons:
A little pricier than some competitors, but there is a discount through Pornusers.
Some of the best content I can't access through Roku and must be downloaded or streamed over the PC. Content such as from their bonus sites like Hustler.
No other cons that I can think of.
Bottom Line:
VideosZ is one of the best sites I've subscribed to. Lots of content, thousands of scenes and niches.
Excellent quality video.
Fast downloads.
Daily updates.
Has both HD and DVD movies.
You get your monies worth with this site.
Current Member for less than 1 month (at the time of review).
Pros:
-Ridiculous amounts of content. Well over 12000 films totaling over 70000 scenes
-They have brought in good number of 720p HD films. They have close to 700 HD films at the moment
-Very good update rate, lately 5 films per day with one HD release
-Many great studios featured, some like Harmony Films look like they might have actually more material here than on the official sites
-Very good TPB price with no regional billing and using reputable cc billers
-Fast download with DL manager up to over 12MB/s but usually somewhere little below 10. Sometimes the files can get stuck on slower speed
-Very nice site design. Modern and clean looking and has configureable options to fit your personal tastes
Cons:
-The scene preview is actually better when you are not logged in. Multiple screenies tell a lot more than the frozen viewer image. You can see more when previewing the whole title. At least it doesn't autoplay the scene (there's an option for that too)
-In site ads
-Some of the older films on the site are not up to DVD quality
-Some suspiciously old films released as "HD" updates caught my eye in previews. Well, they are upscaled and end up just taking more space on your hard drive. Luckily there are not many
-Compilation releases have same scenes as some films released before as original titles
-Could use maybe even more search tags with the huge amount of scenes
-Some releases are quite B-class
-Pre checked cross sale on the cc billers web page
Bottom Line:
VideosZ is a very typical site in the genre that is often called DVD site. While the world today has little to do with DVD's, the basic meaning is that you are offered a huge selection of complete film title releases from various studios on one site. Frankly I'm not wholly sure if all of this new stuff even gets a proper DVD or Bluray release on physical media these days but the new content is only a part of the whole deal as these sites feature large archives of older and even vintage releases.
While there's over 200 studios on this site with releases, not all of them have much content or are very high quality. The top ones in the sheer numbers of material are Legend, Red Light District and Platinum X Pictures. Other famous ones or the ones I personally like include Elegant Angel, Private, Harmony Films and Evil Playgrounds. When you go to the actual websites of some of these studios that offer memberships, you might actually notice that on this site you get more material from them for a better price and in better quality. Plus everything else of course. The shortage of material certainly isn't going to be your issue with this site with over 12000 film titles. The shortage of storage space and download bandwidth on the other hand could be ;)
The site updates frequently and here it means "a lot". On average you get five updates per day, one of which is HD release in 720p. The higher resolutions are available in mp4 and there are also smaller avi-files. It's a bit hard to tell if some material available in HD gets released in DVD resolution but one thing is clear: At times they seem to have run out of HD release and fake one. It was indeed suspicious noticing "Zazel: The Scent of Love" as a 720p HD release when I remember this film from when was young (it was shot in 1995 according to Wikipedia and apparently also released as remastered Bluray HD release but apparently the version available on this site is not the true HD one). The quality of the releases is varying without doubt, some are top class and in HD while others are quite mediocre fillers. The quality of more recent releases is good in HD and DVD quality in non HD films. The old stuff doesn't always come close to DVD quality and theses sites aren't too keen remastering old stuff apparently. Obviously it does little to attract new subscribers compared to adding new material.
Of the studios avaiable here, I'm particularly happy with many HD (38 out of 114) and DVD releases from Harmony Films. Very high quality fetishy European stuff from great directors like Tanya Hyde, Strangelove and Gazzman. This site is probably better source of their films than their own site and certainly cheaper! I'm also happy to see a very comprehensive selection of Private DVD's with almost 300 titles on this site. Sadly they are among the older stuff so the quality is not the best around. Paradise Film is another one worth mentioning, not only for good things. A large number of HD releases are from this company that is unknown to me but strangely the scenes are all not. I'm sure I've seen a number of them on sites like DDF and 21Sextury. They also seem like "direct to digital distribution" releases with many same scenes across different titles resultin in lots of duplicates. Their quality is top however.
The site itself is good looking with clean design that works well. Search function works ok and it completes the name of actress or film so it's easier to find what you are looking for. There are also many categories for easier browsing although sometimes you wish for even more as some like "fetish" are quite generic. Downloads are fast, I could manage up to 12MB/s using download manager.
One of the sites to stay on, not just subscribe for a month or two. Again for the cons I had to think quite hard and when I look at what I came up, I feel I'm complaining about nothing really. Remember to buy an extra hard drive first and maybe upgrade your broadband!

Pros:
+Over 12000 dvd's to choose from.
+They update with 35 new releases each week.
+All content is dated.
+You can view a percentage of their upcoming releases and the dates when they will be uploaded.
+They offer some studios not found on Videobox and they also have more movies from some studios available on Videobox.
-They have started to offer some dvd's in HD.
Cons:
-A huge percentage of their library is also available on Videobox.
-Videosz may have more releases from one studio but in return VB will have more from another one.
-Download speeds are often quite slow which is deadly for a site with such a huge library.
-The same scene can be on more than one dvd since there are many third party studios.
-A large amount of the content is at least 5 years old and a lot is much older.
-For some strange reason they list some studios but don't actually carry any of their movies.
-They have the bulk of some studios content but they also only have a tiny portion of many other studios.
-A large percentage of their releases are not new movies but often older content.
-Video reolution is not the greatest. There are plenty of videos that are 480x360. Not bad on a competer monitor but watching this on a bigger screen is likely to be noty very fun.
Bottom Line:
*This site is more or less identical to VB except that VB seems to be concentrating on releasing more recent movies while VidesZ is trying to bring bask ones. It does have it's share of more recent movies but I'd say that this is by far the smaller percentage than older titles. Now for some that is a bad thing but for others it's a great thing because some of the movies being offered byt VideosZ were all big hits at one time but have since stopped being produced for dvd so this is a great place to still get access to them. Even if the titles are still available on dvd then this is still a significantly cheaper place to get them than actually buying tons of dvd's.
*It would be nice to see better download options and also higher resolution on their videos.
*Their Paradise Films & Evil Playgrounds studios are great for people interested in Eastern European porn and who haven't yet joined a site like Teen Mega World because these studios get their content from the same source. Of course if you have joined that studios and similar ones than you may want to skip by the content from those studios because you probably already have it on one of your drives.
*The bottom line is that if you are looking to get access to certain studios that VB doesn't carry then you are obligated to join this site. I mean it's less than 20$ with the TBP/PU discount so it's a bargain that anyone should take. Just be aware that if you have to have HD content then this may no be the place to come because they only have about 650 titles that are HD.

Pros:
- Lots and lots of content 11,196 DVD's each with a few different scenes for a total of somewhere like 66,000 scenes. Out of those 472 DVD's are HD quality for a total of 4500 HD scenes.
- Options for download are AVI at 360p MP4 at 520p and for the HD MP4 at 720 p
- Frequent updates (daily DVD's)
- Excellent selection of DVD's with many titles from several different studios, a lot of niches offered, but the focus seems to be on 18 and rough sex. (around 10,000 18+ scenes, 10,000+ anal and only around 5000 mature and under 400 softcore; 500 BBW, 600 European and around 3000 behind the scenes)
- Nice browsing options including a very convenient "Network feature" so you can quickly select the kind of scene you want.
- Streaming works well, good ways to find similar content or more content with the same model, overall good technical webdesign and functional too.
- Great download speeds, very fast no time-outs no issue downloading multiple scenes overnight.
Cons:
- A few videos aren't labeled properly/ some links don't lead to the right scene. I remember the site suggesting more Amai Liu (teen) scenes but instead it led me to a group scene with some mature models.
- Many of the older DVD's are only available as avi at 320p, while this is in no way the fault of the site, it's a bit of a disappointment.
- The site has animated adds at the bottom of all pages, no bid deal since it's easy to ignore them, but might be a con for some.
- Sometimes the recommendation engine is not the best. For example after I watched several anal videos on a Max Hardcore scene it recommended me some girl punishing a guy scene. It didn't happen very often, but it was a bit strange.
Bottom Line:
It's always hard to review a mega site like this one mostly because the content is taken from DVD's so if the light is bad or the action is filmed at odd angles it's not really the fault of the network. Also the content is not exclusive and it's tough to say how much you could find on other sites in different quality. Would it be a better deal to join Videobox or Videosz or maybe Pornstarnetwork? Hard to say since there is much overlap, but also some DVD's unique to each site.
Also like every other network there are a lot of DVD's here that I wouldn't spend money on, but I can hardly blame the site for it, they are simply offering everything they can get the license to.
That being said Videosz had a lot of content and are updating aggressively, being very close to the offering of Videobox (I think right now Videobox has 1000 or 2000 more DVD's but considering you have to get an extra membership with evilangel or Kink or whatever to get everything on Videobox maybe the two are about equal).
The one downside to Videosz is that some scenes are on here twice under different names, probably as studios released different DVD's with content they already had out there. It's not a huge problem but I'd say I found maybe 30 or so scenes that were on here twice, mostly older stuff. Videosz also seemed to have more of an issue with correctly identifying the actresses in the movies, and sometimes their recommendation engine was a bit off.
I'd also add that Videobox seems to have more studios available on their network, but Videosz has more content from each of the studios they do feature. Also Videosz seems to have more hardcore action and more 18+ while videobox has more of a diversity, with more niches tagged.
Another nice addition to videosz is the so called "networks" like 18&abused, 18 Schoolgirls, 18 babysitters. It's a quick filter link that allows you to get some specific content, now most of it is 18 and something so it's pretty obvious the site's focus is on young adult sex.
Other than this rather minor difference the site is pretty similar to Videobox and the difference is really one of which interface do you prefer. They are both high quality technically, allow for easy preview of the scenes, great download speeds, good value and easy searching.
If you're still purchasing DVD's I'd highly recommend this site or one of the similar DVD network since the quantity of scenes available is unbeatable.

Pros:
A huge archive of DVDs. Today's count stands at 10441 with five new ones being added daily.
Approximately 350 DVDs are available in HD at present, at 1280x720p. Most are in mp4 format. If you don't like large files there is also the option to download the DVD at reduced quality, again in mp4 or, for the smallest files, in avi format.
Excellent search engine.
Excellent streaming (depending on how many scenes you are downloading while viewing.)
People who like niche content are not forgotten, with studios like Niche and White Ghetto and
others that present the occasional unusual fare being well represented.
No download limits.
Favorite scenes and DVDs can be saved for a viewing or download later on.
Cons:
I really have to stretch to find anything negative to say. Videosz is slightly more expensive than its nearest competitor. It also does not have the capacity to create custom clips, but that's about it for me.
Bottom Line:
I like Videosz, as a matter of fact I like it better than its not-to-be-named main competitor in the DVD business.
I had complained in the past that niche content was being ignored at Videosz in favor of run-of-the-mill mainstream material, and it is true that it still represents only a small part of the whole, but they have way more than, okay I'll name it, Videobox, who are too conscious of the importance of holding on to their target audience to be bold enough to present an update now and then that would most likely be resoundingly rejected by the majority.
I would still like to see more niche material because after long years of porn viewing I do appreciate anything that is different, even if it isn't always pretty, but also understand the law of supply and demand.
I am enough of a realist to understand that if they didn't cater to the majority they would quickly be out of business. So keep on doing what you are doing, Videosz.
Your average update is in no way inferior to anyone else's and I have the feeling you are trying hard to keep everyone happy.
That's good enough for me to give you a high rating.

Pros:
-Large site
-Decent price with PU discount
-Download managers work
-No DRM
-5 new DVDs per day
-watermark is usually acceptably sized, but there are some annoying cases - see cons.
-There are some decent scenes I haven't seen elsewhere
-Vids available in two sizes: mp4 "high" and xvid "medium-low".
-Streaming is acually pretty decent for medium and low - minimal buffering. Not so great on high, see below.
Cons:
-content is pretty varible, an aweful lot of crap to sort through
-prechecked cross-sell
-navigation isn't the best, I didn't find keywords too helpful, lots of mislabeled stars or stars under multiple names (why don't they combine them I mean for April Flowers, there is also an April with practically the same headshot, come on man.)
-Download speeds aren't the best, I averaged about 500 KB/sec using DTA.
-Video quality not the best, especially on older videos. The best I downloaded was 720x540 2700 kbps total bitrate mp4, and not very crisp. I'd say worse than DVD quality.
-Some videos are not framed well (placed watermark in black space around video making full screen video effectively smaller)
-No custom scene downloads - I find this feature handy, I'm sure some might not care.
-Maybe my connection isn't "super-fast" enough, but streaming on high quality was horribly glitchy with tons of buffering.
Bottom Line:
Yet another site that is far too focussed on quantity over quality. I guess it must be an advertising thing, but on most sites of this nature I'd prefer 1 or 2 decent DVDs a day than 5 stinky piles with an occasional decent film dropped in every once in a while. Unless you specifically know what or who you are looking for (bearing in mind that there are lots of name errors) this site can be quite a nuisance to browse through. It is not rare to go through a whole page of 24 DVDs and not find one decent scene to download, but perhaps I am just pickier than most.
Perhaps I am making it sound worse than it is, there are certainly some decent scenes here, it is just such a pain in the ass to find them. I gave up after two weeks of my membership, and doubt I will return again unless I stumble across a lot of spare time in the near future.
Overall I'd say this site is slightly above average, their recent implementation of user comments will probably be helpful in sorting through the trash - I found such comments helpful on videobox. Although haven't seen to many folks posting comments yet, hopefully this will pick up some. On the downside, the video quality is average at best, the navigation is sub-par for a site this large.
This site does some things well, and the price is nice with the discount. But definitely not worth being a member for more than a month every now and again.
It would be oh-so-wonderful if one of these DVD sites decided to go against the flow and focus on quality content, and less freaking gonzo. I know how they love saying they have 8722 DVDs available to download, but who gives a shit if 8000 or so of those are terrible...

Pros:
+Great selection of movies, some accidentally fell off my 'want to see' radar ages ago so I was really pleased to see some of these listed (a near entire DP Mamacitas series!) probably saving me a fortune.
+No issues on standard dvd resolution files, I didn't expect anything special though & I always opted for the highest quality download offered.
+No cancelling problems, just remember to keep any numbers given to you during join up, such as 'Transaction Number' etc..
+No rip off joing fee for non US customers ie $18 doesn't mean 18. Perhaps other DVD sites should take note of this.
Cons:
-The genre search may be one of the more extensive ones that I've seen, but it's far from perfect. One niggle I had for example was for when seaching 'Double Penetration'. Titles or scenes were returned to me which had no such act and sometimes titles exsisted but weren't returned. Even Videosz description for said scenes would be very inaccurate.
-As already mentioned (and addressed by a Videosz rep) there's a few titles on the site that still aren't available due to DRM problems. I only came across a few and got an quick email response from Videosz explaining the sutuation.
-Although I've said there's a great selection of movies to see, some of their product choice is a little baffling. Why just a couple of the Douple Parked series, what about the other 17?
Bottom Line:
Before deciding which of these 'dvd' sites to join, I opened up my spreedsheet program and spent hours listing all the movies I wanted to see from each website. Videosz came out on top. I haven't written 2 of the other sites off completely and may join those at a later date.
So my membership just came to an end. Got what I wanted. Found a few gems. enjoyed my stay. Will be back in a year or two.

Updated:
03-10-1008:51am (Update History) Reason: Final conclusions
Pros:
Lots of content
Newer Videos have good quality
Cons:
-False Advertising
-Many videos not available at all
-They seem to buy videos that no-one else wants - too many chicks that aren't all that attractive
-"New" Releases are often videos that are 10 years old.
-Too many scenes are poor quality even on high quality download
-I hate their flash viewer
-you have to frequently log back in
Bottom Line:
I was a member of this once before, so I guess its my fault for giving them another chance. I found something on this site that I'd been trying to find for a while, and the "Free Preview" shows that its available for download. After joining, it shows "Coming Soon" which basically means "sorry charlie, we fooled you".
A large number of videos are not available. You waste tons of time finding something and then find out its not available. Or sometimes the quality is so bad its not worth watching. Their "New Releases" are new only to the site. On March 1, 2010 College Girls Do 4, a video from 1999 was presented as new. Do I want to see Julie Meadows before she got her boobs done? I guess they get better deals buying old videos that nobody else wants. There's no way to sort on ACTUAL release date. So you have to sift through all of the old garbage. Virtually none of their "new" releases are new.
Their viewer will not allow you to advance the playhead past whats been downloaded. If you do, it terminates and you have to start over. This means you can't jump past the interview or the masturbation or whatever. A real time waster.
If you buy the argument that our most valuable asset is time, this site wastes more of your time than any other I've been on. You search for something you want, and then you find out its "Coming Soon". There is so much garbage; so many unattractive women, that it takes a long time to find anything really good. Then you find out that the video was encoded 5 years ago and the quality is unwatchable. Or if you find something and you don't feel like watching 10 minutes of ass-licking you can't jump past it in their viewer.
They still have login problems. You'll be navigating around and
for no apparent reason you'll get the invitation to join page.
Another time waster and annoyance.
They get the lowest score mainly because they falsely present videos on the preview that are not available when you pay. Cheats get the lowest score. Otherwise I'd give them high 50s, mainly because they don't have real new releases, and because 2/3 of their content is encoded in low quality.
*** UPDATE ***
My month is just about up now, so I wanted to report 2 things:
1) All 3 of the videos I was interested in when I first joined are still not available, despite Clement's claim that they would be done in 2 weeks.
2) They are still advertising the videos as being available before you log in only to be Coming Soon once you do log in. So clearly they are comfortable baboozling people and they think they make more money with such a practice than they do with an honest approach.
I'm very comfortable giving them the lowest possible rating. So I guess we're even.
*** Final Update ***
None of the videos that I was interested in that were tagged "Coming Soon" when I joined was availabe on the last day of the membership. So don't believe them when they tell you it will be available in 2 weeks. Its just not the truth.

Pros:
Vast selection of material, including many DVDs not found in other sites. Several ways to down-
load scenes. Many older DVDs with popular models are available. Many models on this site are not available elsewhere. Fairly good access to specific models and types of fantasies.
Cons:
Downloads are a problem. Must use a download program that is not very effective. Older materials are grainy and washed out. Streaming some of the scenes can be annoying because of stuttering and stopping during viewing.
Bottom Line:
For anyone looking for a site with a large data base of material, this is it. Subject approach can quickly narrow down interests. Relatively inexpensive, and a bargain compared to other sites.
Overall all, a good site that is handicapped by limited download issues.
