Another excellent review. This network is one I have tagged for my next membership, but I see you're not impressed with it. I quite liked some of the photos I have seen from this organisation as they have the whole girl in them rather than just bits. It's sometimes difficult to tell how good or bad a place is without joining, so thanks for the information.
Cheers mate! I am being a bit evangelical about this, but these sort of practices do piss me off. This is the worst sort of site. Deiberately deceivng free sign up, with a paid for short trial followed by a massive subscription. This is the sort of thing that could put paid for legal porn out of business, or at least in trouble. They need to be weeded out before they hurt everyone.
I'm not sure whether I should give these vermin publicity or not, however here is a warning not to give them your credit card details.
All you have to do is give your credit details for FREE ACCESS. Oh wow what generosity. Just press for free membership. Over on the right hand site of the sign up page are the terms.
"You are joining boatgirlsgonewild at a cost of $0.00 for 2 days. To avoid being charged, simply cancel your membership prior to the end of the trial period. For your convenience, this membership will renew at a cost of $39.28 per month until cancelled. You may cancel at any time"
Below that is a pre checked cross sale. It is noted as hidden on TBP "located under the submit button of the join page (when inputting your credit card info)." It's actually to the right.
"* Sign me up for a one dollar and twenty five cents, one day trial to breastsxxx.com*
* For your convenience all trial memberships to breastsxxx will automatically renew at fifty four dollars and ninety seven cents per month unless cancelled."
So your free membership could cost you a shitload of money. I know it's hard times, but I don't think TBP/PU should be linking to these sort of people.
Good review, I see you scored it very close to my mark. This place could certainly do with more quality over quantity, but maybe in the current climate, that's all they can do on the budget. Many videos and scenes listed as new, are just old ones which have been repackaged, which is often noted by members.
I was thinking of joining the 1 Pass For All Sites network, and as I always do, decided to check out the prices for joining from each and every site on the network, because quite often they do vary.
If you join through 1 Pass For All Sites you pay $34.95. If you join through some of the sites on the network you pay $29.95, but if you join through Amour Babes you pay $24.31. I don't know why and it seems to be completely bonkers. I know where I'm signing up from though.
Be very very wary of this one guys. TBP refused to link to them at one point, but for some unknown reason started doing business with them again. Plenty of comments about shady practices from PU members. Take a look at their history.
Thanks Ik, it's great to receive your positive comments. I know you like to do thorough reviews too, as do most regulars. We all take pride in that.
I agree not only about sorting through garbage to find the gems, but also on some networks (Teen Mega World, and Karup's for instance), bad navigation makes it such a nightmare and chore finding the stuff I want, I end membership after just one month, and think I miss a lot of good material.
If there is one underrated pro for porn sites it is navigation and having decent home pages. If you only have a certain amount of time to view porn you don't want to spend hours searching for something that is downloadable.
I agree about those low quality dvd's, but only a few years ago they were cutting edge quality! We are getting too spoilt.
Thanks for your comments, I take a lot of effort to do a review so I appreciate the feedback. I usually make notes from the first day of membership, jot down a pro or a con, take some stats for the bottom line, jot down an occasional sentence or paragraph for the bottom line whenever I think of one, then after a week or two start to put it all together. I always take several weeks to complete a review because I am constantly tinkering and re editing. I know you and the other members take pride over what you write too.
I only join the occasional site,(and some of those I don't review), because I do actually view the material. I don't just download and store it away, and I only get limited time to watch porn. This is I think a good thing, because you do get jaded after a while, and unless it's brilliant porn, it all starts to look the same.
I know what you are saying about quality. I try to remember those old pirated videos from 30 years ago. Awful quality, but it was the best you could get. We are spoilt for choice and quality nowadays compared to then. Unfortunately once you see the better quality definition, then the rest starts to look inferior. What looked great two years ago, looks inferior now. I love high quality, and VB often gets the picture perspective wrong - something that American Vice got right.
One of the advantages of VB is you can view all sorts of videos with models of different age, size, race, and colour, which is something you can rarely do with most memberships. They claim they are "networks" but many of the sites on those networks all look the same.
Good to see you still around, making replies and comments.
Was a member approx. 2 months prior to this review.
Pros:
Vast quantity of material, at a bargain price.
No DRM, download limits, or pre checked cross selling.
New material each day.
Excellent way the pages are set out, you can see stills from the videos at frequent intervals.
You can cut each video to your own length starting and ending where you please.
Reasonably easy search given the amount of material, in many categories, although some on here say it isn't always entirely accurate.
Good amount of dvd's with models of different age, race, and size.
Cons:
Mostly low quality bargain basement porn.
Hard sorting the good quality from the bad because there is so much bad quality.
Slow loading of pages.
Mostly very homogeneous and mainstream, there's still a lack of fetish material.
Still relatively slow downloads, although a vast improvement on my last membership.
Obviously the site is limited by its niche. No original content, no photos, and download picture quality is limited to the original dvd quality, which mostly isn't particularly high def when compared to some modern independent internet porn producers.
Bottom Line:
I could have tried to cure cancer or find a way to feed some of the world's starving, but having thought about it, I decided what the world really needs is yet another VideoBox review. Just cut and paste from the hundreds (thousands?) of VideoBox reviews in the last four years all the pros and cons, and you could make up a great VB review without ever visiting the place. So why you then get reviews as bad as Pros - tons of videos, attractive girls, Cons - poor search, Bottom Line - what more do you want, is beyond me.
What truly puzzled me though, after I originally joined was, why did I find download speeds so slow it was impossible to stream most evenings, and downloading even a few clips, was excruciating and made waiting for the grass to grow, seem like a high octane thrill a minute ride. I hadn't heard about that in the reviews. A victim of their success? So many people joining they didn't have the bandwidth to accommodate them, but couldn't give a rat's arse anyway? Absolutely.
One or two reviews and comments did finally start materialising about those slow speeds. USA seemed okay but it looked like Europe and Canada had the worst speeds, though not everyone suffered. Receiving decent speeds seemed very much a lottery, and my speed was so bad first time around, membership was pointless. Maybe they were vicitms of their own success. Too many members? They weren't falling over themselves to help in customer services (unless it was falling over with laughter, as each email of complaint was automatically consigned to "trash") as there appeared to be no one there. VideoBox Customer Services must be an oxymoron, like military intelligence. I strongly suspect VideoBox is run by the British.
Since the sad demise of American Vice I hadn't joined any dvd site but had always been looking. I yearned to check out VideosZ, but on principal would not give my money to any place that tried to con me out of my hard earned money. I'm talking here about pre checked cross selling, and without it I would not have returned to VB. In fact all of the dvd sites have pretty much the same problems: They are either crap, or have pre checked cross selling. The idea of returning to VideoBox, a site in which I had previously found download speeds so slow, they might as well have been delivered one byte at a time by carrier pigeon from VB to my computer, was anathema.
Why on earth I ever returned to VB I don't know, but completely against the odds and defying my disbelief, I was gobsmacked when I did. My god I could download, I could actually stream some videos, even in the daytime! OMG this time I could actually view some videos. Maybe this time it is me being lucky, as I have recently seen a comment on PU about very slow speeds.
It too often becomes a chore sorting out the good quality from the bad because of the vast volume of awful material, and with the site slow to react when changing pages, browsing can become a painful and irritating experience. I took advice from some experienced PU 'ers and often looked by studio. Pink Visual and Lethal Hardcore are two of the better ones.
Although most of the stuff is very homogeneous and mainstream, you do at least find a large model range of ethnicity, age, and size. Many sites nowadays have models that are nearly all white, young, and thin.
Overall, this time around it was a positive rather than negative experience. VideoBox is no longer my least favourite site, so this time I consider 80 rather than 75 to be a fair mark. I may even join again.
Thanks elephant, we always say what we think here, but I'm not sure how much we at PU are out of step with porn consumers and the industry. All we can do is try to change things a little.
Thanks for your comments. Yes is the answer to the question, but only a little. When they get it right it looks great, but the problem is those closeups, when the cameraman looks as though he's gone to sleep, leaving the camera resting about four inches from the groin.
The previews do look great, and are there to attract customers, which means they know what appeals. So if they make the previews look great, and know what appeals, why can't they do 20-30 minute clips with the same look and standard of the previews? After all, the previews are merely a small sample of the videos and photos. Surely it's the same cost to video and photo the whole girl as it is to video and photo one piece of the girl?....or maybe it isn't.
It would be nice if our comments helped to change things. It's unlikely but we can try.

Pros:
There are no DRM, download limits, regional discrimination, pre checked cross sells, or dirty tricks.
Beautiful girls.
Some very orginal and erotic poses.
Good lighting and overall sense of professionalism.
Good quality videos.
Zipped photos.
Easy log in.
Still updating.
Cons:
Same style and angles every time resulting in a mass produced look.
The picture sets contain too many of the same pose and have little continuity.
Very little ethnic, age, or shape diversity. Models are mainly thin, white, and young.
Few picture or download options. Top quality video is now mp4, not wmv. You have to drop lower in quality to obtain wmv.
Navigation not the best.
No teasing or build up in the pics or videos.
Occasionally annoying male leads.
Although you get some bonus sites, it is a relatively small network.
Bottom Line:
Video Downloads - Best Quality 1280x720 at 4000kbps (4838), High Quality 800x452 at 2500 kbps, Normal Quality 580x328 at 1000 kbps. Recently, for some reason, they changed their "Best Quality" downloads from wmv to mp4. The 4000 kbps wmv is now unavailable, and has been changed to 4500 kbps mp4, so if you want wmv, you have to download a lower quality video.
Pics, and sometimes videos, are ridiculously frustrating because although they choose some original and erotic angles to shoot from, they continually miss out the lower legs and feet, and concentrate far too much on the groin, ass, and upper thigh, turning the models into amputees. I have seen criticism elsewhere on PU, concerning the gynaecological focus of their shoots. A great shame because the models are fantastic, and they think up some original angles to shoot from, then they undermine this eroticism by turning the models into amputees 80 per cent of the time. It is particularly annoying in the pics, where it would appear, feet do not exist.
Although they have great and original angles and ways of shooting models, that mould is set, and they rarely stray from doing exactly the same thing on each shoot, making everything look mass produced.
The pics are adequate but a lot of the time there is little continuity or thought put into the sets. You see a girl starting with clothes, but you don't see much of the strip or lead up to sex. It is like watching six frames from a video, forward winding for four minutes, then watching another six frames, then forward winding, and so on. There are four to eight almost identical pictures of a model in one pose, then four to eight in another pose, with little idea of continuity or progression in the shoot.
Sometimes the male leads can be very irritating. Whether this is by direction or not I don't know. Some continually slap the asses of the models, grunt, groan, and paw their female co workers like they were terrorists abusing their hostages. That can be unerotic for some of us.
Okay, let's be honest, let's come out of the closet. Female genitalia just by itself isn't all that attractive, neither is chopped liver, or any type of roadkill. It is what leads up to that genitalia that is attractive. The whole package, the eyes, the face, the breasts, the legs, the everything. It's the genitalia in context, along with the whole package. I so wish some of these sites would realise that. We've got past the shock of penetration about 40 years ago in Europe, 30 years ago in America, amd 10 years ago in Britain. So we don't need closeups of two thrusting groins and nothing else. We know they're having sex, we get to see it all the time.
I know sites have to keep production costs as cheap as possible, but surely it's possible to see two whole people having sex, and give us some idea of the beauty of the whole girl. It's done professionally, but with little love for the subject. This is true of 99% of porn, both today and in the past so I can't complain too much.
Their visitors preview site probably gives a better preview of what's on offer than the members' home page as there you get a better idea of how the girls look, and what the sets are like.
It may just me being stupid again but once I got into browsing a picture set, I couldn't get back to home again without going through my favourites option.
There is a model search option from the home page (in very small print), but when you access the model using this, the video and picture download options are dead links. You therefore have to look at the date, then go back to the home pages and work out where the model is on the chronologically listed update pages in order to download pics and videos.
It seems there is a six simultaneous downloads limit.
Logging in is easy, and you can return to the site without re entering your password.
The lighting, production and photography are mainly very good. If you go back to the first few girls recorded in 2009 you can see how much this has improved. The early ones look very different, with a different style, angles, and lighting.
You would think by the title of "First Anal Quest" its close relative "Double View Casting," and the comments "real teenagers craving to get their cherries popped," and "no fake scenes no bullshit," these are mostly first timers, but not a bit of it. Some of these girls (for example Britney, Stonell, and Kristina) have been around for a long long time, and have appeared on many other sites featuring Eastern European Girls. Some of these girls have pussies more pounded than when a juggernaut lorry crashed into the local Pets At Home.
All in all it is worth a visit, but very few seasoned downloaders will find any need to stay more than a month, or maybe two.
This was one network high on my list. Exotics4me speaks highly of it, but one big negative is the pre checked cross sales. I never trust anyone who tries to con me. That alone means it shouldn't receive my money.
It's a big shame because the content looks great. They try to trick people with pre checked cross selling and wonder why people don't trust them enough to give them their credit card details. No wonder free download sites are going strong, despite the risk of viruses.
Accurate assessment. Of the sites I have joined in many respects this one is the most frustrating of all, simply because it should have scored in the high 90's, and would have done if not for the negatives. This is one of the most customer unfriendly networks out there. There is no customer service, and they seem completely oblivious to what is needed to generate, and then keep customers.
Tons of great pics with no zips so they have to be downloaded one by one, is a prime example of complete ignorance about what is needed. Superb videos, well shot, beautifully lit, stunning girls. Should have been better that 21 Sextury. It could have been the best network of all. Coulda woulda shoulda. What a waste.
Wow - now that's what I call service! Thanks for the offer Claypaws, but I am unusual in that I have no favourite models. My favourite types are ones I haven't seen before.
The info you have provided me with is just what I was looking for. I have been thinking about ATK for quite a while. Looks like they should be towards the top end of my list.
Thank you, and I hope you keep with us, here on PU.
I'd have joined this one years ago if not for one of the biggest negatives of all as far as I'm concerned - pre checked cross selling. I never trust my credit card or money with anyone who tries to con me or trick me.
