Vegas Ken's Comment
Note to fellow European PUs who tried to join yesterday: I currently don't see geo-targeted pricing on the sign up page; now it asks for 19.95 USD instead of yesterday's 24.95 EUR (=35 USD).

Hidemyass seems to work with the ccbill https sign up page but I'd be very reluctant to try to avoid regional pricing by entering my credit card details via a proxy. The proxy receives the credit card info in clear text and submits it back to ccbill. What assurance do you have they won't steal your info?

I did take the plunge at Orgy Max. I agree some sites are great but site structure and navigation was a bit of a let down compared to the major US porn networks.
Regarding ccbill, I've never had any kind of billing issues with them either. I believe Capn was just referring to the fact that ccbill often uses regional pricing aka geo-targeted pricing. No regional pricing on Orgy Max, though.

Holly Sampson without a doubt. Though I had a brief thing for Joslyn James the first time I saw her.
There's a taped live chat at Naughty America where Holly Sampson admitted the whole story. She's done some scenes at Reality Kings. Both sites featured her prominently on their home pages as Tiger's mistress for some time when the news leaked.

Since that Euro Cup took place more than a year ago, DDF's Sex Euro Cup may have some interest if your national team is the one that eventually won that trophy (their first one in the last 40 years) playing some of the best soccer ever seen.
In any other case, it's just a bunch of girls in funnier-than-usual body painting.

In a couple weeks, any Christmas themed shoot will look old. Holiday themed shoots (including Easter, Halloween or Valentinte's Day) are as pointless as when the model poses in a shirt for a sports team.

I guess I should have written "last" instead of "final": there's zero information in the network regarding the reason why the updates have stopped so there's no way to tell whether the sites that are currently not updating have stopped for good or are just in a very long hiatus.
On the other hand, it seems unlikely that a site like Naked Movie will return from the dead after 10 months, even though coming back with a spoof of a zombie or after-life movie would be quite fitting.

| Pros: |
-320 scenes on 10 very different sites.
-15 most recent scenes at 1024x560, 3000 kbps, MP4.
-Remaining scenes at up to 720x480, 1400 kbps, WMV.
-Very good flash player for streaming scenes.
-Good pictures, downloadable in zips (500 pics per scene).
-Great production values. Technically perfect.
-Still a very well-organized site. No additional features, though.
-Currently no download limit. Sustained 250 kbytes/s speed.
-White-label Naked.com webcams included.
-Free tour shows all 320 scenes you find inside. |
| Cons: |
-Video downloads not queueable: URLs valid for 2 hours only.
-Only 3 sites updading (2 new scenes weekly).
-No explanations on the drastic reduction in updates.
-No blog, no user forum, no site news, no scene comments.
-Their claim to be offering HD is very debatable.
-Still has metadata issues: mistaken performers or keywords.
-Free tour doesn't show release dates.
-There used to be a download limit earlier this year. |
| Bottom Line: |
I didn't expect to come back to this network so soon but I got a cheap cross-sale trial and, when cancelling it, knowingly accepted a multi-month membership at a ridiculously low price. At that time, I thought I had struck a good deal: they were updating 6 times a week and they had added three new sites since my last visit that looked interesting and had the usual hardcore US stars I like. I was very wrong.
The only three sites that have been updating for the last couple months are Molly's Life, Cumfu and Manuel Uncut. Molly's Life is like a metronome every week on Mondays and you get a second scene from one of the other sites every two weeks. This has reduced the update rate from 6 updates per week back in July 2009 to the current meager 2 new weekly scenes. Apart from Molly's Life, I wouldn't take anything for granted, though, because the other two sites have been absent for a month in the past.
Most of the last updates from the other 7 sites date back to June 2009, although some of the sites stopped even earlier. Naked Movie released its 7th and final scene in February 2009, a "Ghost Busters" parody titled "Nut busters" with a stellar cast: Gianna Michaels, Rachel Roxxx, and Shyla Stylez plus Jordan Ash and Voodoo. The three new sites that prompted me to stay were King Dong (a grand total of 24 scenes that wouldn't look like out of place at that other network that has the word Big in all its sites' titles; last update in June 2009), Porn Stars Lick (13 lesbian scenes mostly with boy-girl US stars; last update in September 2009) and Manuel Uncut (34 scenes and counting supposed to revolve around Manuel Ferrara but it looks like he isn't always at home and other guys have to step in to entertain the ladies).
Molly's Life and Cumfu offer what they call HD (1024x560, in fact) and Manuel Uncut still goes with the usual 720x480 despite the couple most recent updates are labelled as HD. Apart from these recent dozen of so-called HD video scenes, the technical aspects of the network have stayed mostly the same. This new resolution is streaming only but you still get to download the full clip WMV at 720x480, split in parts or at lower iPod-friendly resolution. They've also ironed out some minor flaws in their flash player and now it's even more convenient (they got the thumbnail functionality right, etc). Images stay at 900x600 but they still do a pretty good job. Website design hasn't changed a bit but it was very solid to begin with.
Go for the trial or monthly membership since you'll likely find something that will catch your eye. But carefully consider staying longer than a month because things aren't exactly ramping up. |

You just had to be a regular member of BangBros: you got a page asking you to choose whether you wanted to continue to regular site or beta site when you tried to log in. The beta had a different URL but you had to use your regular login and password.
I currently don't have access to BangBros so I don't know if the beta is still running. It's been 4 months so it could well be the beta is now closed and they rolled the changes into production.
You may get an answer from a current member regarding dl if you write a new comment asking specifically for what's the current dl situation.

| Pros: |
-Official site of US porn star Luscious Lopez aka Dasha.
-Exclusive material. Except for solo sites from other models.
-A bit of everything: anal, big tits, interracial, threesomes, ...
-53 main scenes plus their photo galleries and bonus scenes.
-10+ standalone solo Luscious Lopez scenes.
-Max. video resolution: 640x480 WMV, 2000kbps, 20 minutes.
-Interesting BTS content and bonus scenes.
-1600x1200 picture. Zips. 80 per set. 50% landscape.
-Easy access to alternate content from scene (gallery, BTS).
-Release date and small description on most update lists.
-Inexpensive unlimited one week trial.
-ccbill. No regional pricing. |
| Cons: |
-Sporadic updates: currently, about 1 new scene per month.
-Good metadata but no search engine or model index.
-Scenes under 4 broad categories: main, solo, bonus and friends.
-No way to find other scenes from models in the scene.
-Pictures' composition is rarely good.
-No interaction with model but an email form and Myspace link.
-No user forum, no webcam chats, no blog, no candids, ...
-Old-looking design even though site is only 2 years old.
-Uninformative free tour: list of 10 most recent updates only. |
| Bottom Line: |
I'd been a member a couple years ago and I got a very good impression. I'd been keeping an eye on the update list in the free tour for some time and decided to join when update rate seemed to be catching up speed last summer. Currently, though, it looks like they are back to about one update a month. On a side note, I think it's a mistake that the update list in the free tour is limited to the 10 most recent ones: I'm sure they would make a somewhat better impression if they showed all that's available inside, even if the updates are so sporadic.
The main attraction of the site are the videos. Despite some budget limitations in terms of settings, the cast includes well known models like Gianna Michaels, Kelly Divine, Sara Jay or Sophie Dee to name just 4. There's also a lot of variety in male talent, including top performers like Jack Napier, Marco Banderas or Mr. Pete. No one but Luscious Lopez appears in more than a 3-4 scenes, which is always good. Scenes are also quite diverse. According to some of the BTS scenes and what I've seen around, my guess is that the scenes are only available here or at the solo sites from other cast members. Pictures aren't that well shot on average so, despite the decent size, they serve for little but getting an idea of what's in the video. There are also some somewhat better solo photo galleries without videos.
What stands out the most for me is some of the BTS content. You really get the feel of how they shoot a porno, probably even more than the regular behind the scenes from DVDs. How they care for continuity, how some guy has real trouble staying hard and continuously asks the girls to blow him to get wood, the lengths they go to prepare for a minute of anal scene. Luscious Lopez has an interesting personality and at least you see some of it through this content. Wish the site offered some interaction too.
One thing I liked is that it's possible to find all the related content from a particular scene: video scene, bonus scenes, BTS and various photo galleries are all linked among them. Contrary to similar solo sites which, for some reason, always dump the photos and videos in separate listings and you have to puzzle the pairings by yourself. Even though, it's a pity they have such a broad categorization, listing scenes only under 4 different categories. Scenes' descriptions have an Action section that looks like some quick tagging system ("Anal, POV", "Lesbian, Toys" or "Threesome, Outdoors") but it serves little purpose since they don't have a search engine to exploit that info. At least, they clearly put aside scenes without Luscious Lopez in a friends section.
As far as solo sites of US porn stars that aren't linked to major companies go, this is a pretty reasonable site. If you're interested in seeing interesting never before seen content of Luscious Lopez, going for the trial membership is a no-brainer. |

| Pros: |
-100s of models from Eastern Europe and South America.
-Cheap privates: most at 1.99 per minute; few at 0.99 or 2.49+.
-All models state in their profile what's OK for them in private.
-Fast navigation and search. Feeds start almost immediately.
-Very good image quality (above average).
-Forum for users to discuss models and review private shows.
-Most models can be seen for free before going private.
-Any surfer may see free shows and participate in free chat.
-6 payment options though none of the usual adult ones.
-Recurring membership option to access additional features.
-Constantly adding new features to improve user experience:
--Mouseover on model at results page to see show preview.
--3 different results views: compact, big thumbnail, text details.
--RSS feed to notify when favorites come online.
--Facebook-like profile page for performers and users. |
| Cons: |
-Regional pricing. 50% more expensive in Europe.
-No indication of time spent/credits left while in private.
-Recent chat history/money spent goes back only 15 days.
-Models often wait some time before starting the show.
-Many creepy rooms: dolls, teddy bears, kid decorations.
-Non-exclusive models; found at the same time at other sites.
-Models seem to be mostly at cam studios, not their home.
-Red background is hideous: looks old, makes you wanna run.
-Almost no models from the US or Western Europe.
-Members chat is pointless: models rarely answer.
-Non-members/guests in free chat produce lots of noise.
-Same model may have several different profiles: confusion.
-No recording options for shows.
-Very impersonal. Maybe new facebook style will help.
-Who is Jasmin? |
| Bottom Line: |
A recent review here prompted me to give this site a try. I was a bit reluctant initially because, even though they offer up to 6 different payment systems, none was an adult processor I recognized. Also, the weird name of the site and that impossible red background made me feel the site was some relic from the internet cam scene past.
This seems to be, in fact, a very lively cam site and, leaving apart the site's look, one of the most technically advanced I've seen. In fact, they keep on adding features that make browsing and searching for performers more convenient. They have also very recently given a kind of facebook style to the performers profile, integrating in a "wall" the reviews they used to have in separate forum, the model's pictures and presentation, etc and adding some new model-users interaction features. I personally don't see the point since most models aren't exclusive to this site and I doubt they will participate more than they already did but maybe things will change. Users may now also have a profile page stating their tastes, etc. which, if models are able to see it, might be convenient to speed up private shows.
The main drawback I've found in private chats is that you get no indication of time spent and models often take some time before they start the show. Some times, they use the old trick of typing questions for a while. Other times, they keep on going through the free show motions for up to a minute until they suddenly realize they are in private and start the show; I don't know if it's an act or that, since they are obviously working at the same time at several cam sites, the system they have in place doesn't notify them properly or takes some time to close the connections to other sites. It's not a feed delay issue because there's no delay in chat once she acknowledges your presence.
On a side note, even though I noticed many models at other sites simultaneously, all the multi-site models I found had the lowest price per minute at Live Jasmin, even after taking regional pricing into account.
There's also a recurring membership option available that costs 15 USD/EUR every 15 days and gives you some additional features like messaging to performers, being singled out in chats and lifting the favorites cap to 96 from the 24 that non-members get. It's probably not worth the money unless you're really into this site and want an expanded experience. |

Zero Tolerance On Demand

|
| Status: |
Was a member approx. 2 months prior to this review.
|
| Pros: |
-Official site of US porn studio Zero Tolerance.
-Top US porn stars at their best and in HD.
-Exclusive content not available anywhere else.
-One new HD DVD per week (5 new scenes weekly).
-Released here as soon as physical DVD hits the street.
-313 DVDs (92 in HD) yielding 2335 scenes (617 in HD).
-MP4 Resolutions: 1080p, 720p, 360p. Plus WMV or xVid at 540p.
-Photo galleries for most of the scenes.
-Membership to Black Ice Pass and Third Movies included.
-Access to 750 DVDs counting those on these other two sites.
-Fast, resumable, hassle-free downloads.
-Free tour works exactly like members area (same info).
-Thought-out powerful search engine.
-Segpay. No regional pricing, no problem canceling. |
| Cons: |
-HD files are big by nature: easily, 1 Gb even for 720p.
-Non-HD scenes pale in comparison with HD ones.
-Not all bonus scenes from DVDs are available.
-Some scenes without pictures, including some DVD cover ones.
-Must login again at Black Ice Pass and Third Movies.
-Login through CAPTCHA every time.
-Download images 900x600. Resolution lower than 720p video!
-DVD covers available but low resolution (506x350).
-Wrong scene info when physical DVD hasn't same scene order.
-Metadata is not perfect (no director or male performer info).
-Streaming is a bit too simple: no key frame thumbnails.
-Zero interaction: no message board, no scene comments, ...
-Support pages still focus on DRM but there's currently no DRM. |
| Bottom Line: |
I was willing to try some HD and this site seemed the place to start: top US stars, a fairly large collection, decent price and no download limits. I really liked Zero Tolerance On Demand and its twin sites Black Ice Pass and Third Movies. I think other porn studios should follow their example: offer online all the content from their DVDs as soon as they are released physically, couple it with a powerful search engine and a plethora of download options at good speeds. It's a great idea to make the free tour work exactly like the members area; only sites who deliver are able to do that.
Search engine is very well thought-out and it gets you some powerful searches. You can, for instance, easily search for scenes that don't have a particular act you don't give a damn but have those two you wish all scenes had. I only missed that HD was not a keyword once you were in a particular star: you have to rely on a small HD logo on each scene to tell them apart. Metadata, though, is not perfect; for instance, even though you get access to other DVDs in the series, you don't get any info on who the director is so, if you want to find more scenes shot by the same guy, you have to rely on the always handy iafd.
Except for some color scheme and design differences, all three sites work exactly the same. The main drawback is probably that each studio still has its own site and search engine. When willing to watch all the scenes from a particular model, you have to go through three different searches and, likely, three different logins. Perhaps Black Ice Pass all-black scenes are a niche on their own but the differences between Third Movies and Zero Tolerance On Demand are almost non-existent. Maybe Third Movies is a little less hardcore? Zero Tolerance On Demand has a 1% lower percentage of MILFs?
Apart from integrating all three sites once and for all, another thing they should look into are the photo galleries. I'd like to know who shoots their DVD covers and movie stills because they do a terrific job: girls look as good as in any glamour photography site. It's a pity that they end up offering the pictures only at 900x600 and there's no way to get a resolution higher than 506x350 for the DVD covers. It doesn't make much sense to have those pictures at such resolutions when the video scene frame is almost twice as big.
I had no problem opening files in VLC media player but it was funny to see that their support pages don't offer any help regarding how to play HD files and they go to great lengths explaining the intricacies of DRM while there doesn't seem to be any DRM files and, it seems, they went DRM-free several years ago.
If you are curious, I'd strongly recommend that you give the site a try even if it's only the free section. If you are into US stars you'll sure find something that will catch your eye. |

What can you tell about the cam shows (how often and at what times) and the interaction? When I was a member about a year ago, in the site's previous version, the interaction was the only good thing about the site. I've read at her free blog that she now even has a voyeur cam on at times.

Thanks for the info. I see in the free tour preview that there's only one update per week: a video or a photo gallery. That's certainly too slow even for a solo model site.

I may go with the 2nd if and only if it's a solo site and the model is known to make replies of her own on a regular basis. Otherwise, the 3rd; it's somewhat creepy to use the 2nd when the model won't even read it.

Is there something else you have to do in order to automatically linkify the text whenever someone writes Brazzers ? I just updated my review to change the name of the network to Brazzers and it didn't get linkified.

I fell for a very similar offer at Muffia (a network from the same company) and I'm still within the extra 6 months and no extra charge has come after that 39.95 first one. I believe it was the same amount and the same billing provider. I also believe it said it was a one-time fee. What does it say here? Regardless, you could always go to the billing provider and try to cancel; this isn't exactly my top choice billing provider but it had a decent cancellation page.
