WTF??? Insane Pricing on some PPV / VOD titles I’ve been watching a bunch of PPV titles at Adult Empire.com (the VOD/PPV site, not the one that’s been delisted here). There are tons of titles available for a 24 hour viewing rental for just $1.99. But… I went looking to watch some of the “Pickup Lines” series from Silverstone Video, and got a big surprise. The options for all Silverstone titles are the same as most of the other studios, but the prices are fucking unreal. A 24 hour PPV stream that most studios charge $1.99 for, Silverstone (or Adult Empire.com) wants $20.23. WTF??? You can also buy downloads, most of which cost between $14.00 and $25.99. Some are DRM protected and some aren’t. But Silverstone (or Adult Empire.com) again sets the mark – they want $44.95 for a download. That seems insane for a title that old that should probably be in a bargain bin. I’m assuming that the pricing problem is with the studio, but am I wrong on that? Is it possible that Adult Empire.com is setting the price that high? This is a possibility because AEBN has the title too and they only charge $5 for a 48 hour rental. Anyone have any idea why a studio or site would price those titles so far out of the normal range? Is it simple vanity in thinking that they’re product is so much better than everything else? Is it that they don’t give a rat’s ass about selling those titles on the internet? Any ideas?  | |

It seems crazy. My only guess is they cater for the very occasional porn punter, the kind that would not be fully informed like the members here. They only need one occasional uninformed sucker, sorry...punter, to pay and presumably make it worthwhile for the site. These prices almost bring me back to the good old days when one video was £40-£60. Hang on...those were AWFUL days. | |

Anybody who is smart enough to find and browse adult empire, is informed enough to make his own financial decisions. Why would you jump to the conclusion that the site is seeking to basically scam "suckers"? Yesterday I purchased two video clips elsewhere for $30. Why? Because I wanted them and the only thing standing between me and the videos is a dollar figure, something that I am fortunate not to be concerned over that small of an amount. To me they are of a helluva better quality, more interesting, than anything I've seen released on the big 4 sites. Those are priced so each new update is like less than a dime - but that doesn't make me interested in them. To each their own. Edited on Apr 10, 2011, 02:14pm | |

Those days are still here... I popped into my local, er, boutique a while back and they were selling DVDs for £30 and £40 :| Choose the right site and you could download hundreds of complete films for that! | |
