Just thought I would point out, the pre-checked cross sell here is a free trial to 21sextury. The trial gives you 300 credits, which works out to one movie from what I have seen, other than that you can poke around the site and watch trailers, but that is about it. But, I guess its one free video, so not bad. Didn't have any problems cancelling.
yeah, i think i'm gonna have to give these dvd sites a pass for a good while until something better comes along. these places just feel so frustrating and time wasting to me.

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...
Odd, I don't see what you are talking about on the sign up page, does this show up after you select a username/password? Maybe its my cookies or something...
when I joined recently I didn't see any real HD content, and haven't seen any on the site since I have been a member (or any options to get it). the only place I have seen any mention of HD is in a user poll asking if was more important to implement HD, user comments, or mobile - of course HD is winning in the poll, but it appears as though they implemented user comments first.
Of the scenes I have downloaded, the best I have seen is 720x540, 2700 kbps, and while the bitrate is reasonable, the video is by no means crisp. I would say their video quality is sub-DVD from what I have seen. I don't know if it is the codec they use or what, but given the file sizes you download, I would expect much better quality.
Ha! My memory is terrible, all that beer in college just straight killed it. The only reason I remember that site is cause the name is so ludicrous it was hard to forget. Obviously if porn companies chose more rediculous site names they'd have a better shot of getting me as a member...
I don't recall seeing it listed on the Deisel access page when I was a member either, I think they probably just merged it with one of the other two teen sites. I seem to recall it being mostly duplicate material anyways...

Pros:
-Good sized collection - over 650 models
-Models are quite attractive, most of the popular euro models area available here
-Excellent download speeds (1.5 MB/sec)
-Download managers work
-Photosets downloadable in zips
-Video quality pretty good: 640x480, 2084 kbps
-Good variety of content
-Good camerawork on photography and videos
-Photo quality is acceptable, but not the best - newer stuff is 1280, older stuff worse
Cons:
-Orginization could use some improvement. Not really sure what the purpose of listing the DVDs is, as all the scenes I saw on the DVDs were listed under the video section of that model anyways. A search function would be nice.
-I found some of the sets to be a bit heavy on the makeup, which is not really my thing - I prefer the more natural look
-Could improve photo and video quality
-No bonus sites
-A little pricy
Bottom Line:
A pretty good site, definitely better than most. Certainly worth joining, even if like me, you aren't a fan of overly madeup girls as there are still plenty of good scenes.
The content is mostly solo and lesbian, in the video section there are:
50 Boy/Girl scenes
210 Solo scenes
440 Girl/Girl scenes
(The sort function doesn't work great, so these totals might be a bit off)
Although the boy/girl scenes they have are pretty good, if your main search is for boy/girl I might look elsewhere.
As Exotics has said many times, and I agree, this site has some of the best lesbian content on the net.
In summary, pretty much a top tier site that most people would probably find worth joining. If they improved video quality and picture quality a bit this site would probably be even higher on my list. If you are a fan of hot euro models, and especially lesbian content, you won't be disappointed here.
Quality review, exotics. Just wanted to mention that there is still no HD video - in case anyone was wondering.
I might score the site a little lower as I find some of the models have overdone makeup (Like the Susana and Sonia Red sets), but that is more of a preference I suppose. You are definitely right that this site has some of the best, if not the best lesbian scenes around.
Oh and download managers work on this site, I always find that useful to know.
They probably are trying to operate like the old trials that would let you join for 3 days or whatever and then charge you in excess of the regular membership prices (hoping to make cash on those that forgot to cancel), especially if the site is worthless after a month...
Perhaps he is a sleep-adult-website-joiner? I knew a guy in college that would get up, make, and eat a sandwich in the middle of the night all while dead asleep.
Now that Cap'n has been outed as an employee he will have to create a new user ID, spend all that time building up a reputation here (certainly not using the "I only like soft core, full strip, no toys and must have custom zips" bit or everyone will know it is him), and post another review.
Just thought I would warn folks, that someone appears to be hacking passwords to this site, I used a relatively complex password, yet it was apparently hacked as someone ran up $300 in charges or so on the cam sites here - which I had never even used let alone paid extra for, so make sure your password is quite secure if you choose to join here (customer support was nice and say the issue is resolved and I will be refunded the money, but still a nuisance).
I also had a cancellation issue here, I swear I cancelled it on their site yet continued to be rebilled, perhaps I just didn't click enough of the "are you sure" type buttons, but I think I am going to be avoiding this biller from now on (paywp).
I agree with you entirely. I wish the navigation here was a bit better, they used to have scenes tagged and stuff where their old site, but now it is just a model index. I think it is a highly underrated site. I was a member here last month, and never had any logout problems, so must be a recent thing, perhaps high server demand?
Nice review RA, I very much agree with your sentiments on this site. I do wish they had kept some of the browsing features they had on the old site (tags, etc). My only additional points would be that the pre-checked cross sale annoys me and I also don't get why there is also a wicked.com owned by a different company though it appears to just be a clone (and more expensive). Also, enough with the damn Octomom adds, christ, I wouldn't download that shit if it were free, let alone pay $5.00 extra for it.
Once again, good review, always like reading your opinions as they are so often similar to mine.
I agree their tour is pretty poor. Not sure why they don't let you see all the models, I feel like they used to in the old version of the site. I think it is a decent place, especially for the price, but I didn't like their new site design - it was faster, than the slow ass old one but still sort of glitchy. Also, updates are slow, so I wouldn't antipate hanging around for long.
Nice review, I totally agree with you that it is a decent site but needs some work. Did you get any of those videos with a wicked watermark in the middle of the screen? Very odd.
It is still quite lacking, and while they have a note at the top listing all the great features that will be added, none of them currently exist. It states they will add photos, forum, behind the scenes stuff, and search in 2011 (like April or December?). I am sort of curious why they bothered to launch the beta before adding some of these items, particularly search/photos/ratings/model thumbnails.
Luckily one can still access the old site which still appears to have most of the above. Also, a couple of the movies I have downloaded have the most ridiculous watermark I have ever scene - a solid Wicked smack in the middle of the video.
Their old site was by no means impressive, but it does have some nice categorization, a search feature, and most of the models in the index had a photo attached to them (many don't on the new site).
That said, I still generally like their material (aside from the excessive fake breasts) and the discount price is certainly excellent ($15). Hopefully they will finish the job with the new site shortly.
I think they've had sound sync problems for a while, I didn't even notice when I was a member some time ago (since I often don't listen to the audio), but I do have several videos that have some audio sync issues.
Did they go back and re-encode all their really old material to 1080x720, or just take it off the site in order to meet that claim? I actually thought their 640x480 mp4 was pretty decent considering the size (from a video perspective)...
Curious, I wonder what the problem is. When I was a member about a year ago I had no problems downloading - I have at least 50 scenes on one of my externals, and I don't recall ever experiencing any problems. Perhaps they just don't have the server capacity to meet demand. Does streaming work well, or is there a ton of load time, lag, etc.?
Yeah, with the downloads it is definitely a pretty good value. I found the site navigation to be quite annoying when I was a member, and I agree that some videos were glitchy - although I'd say most of the scenes I downloaded were decent quality with no major glitches. I went back and watched a few, and didn't notice any audio sync problems, so perhaps it was just that one scene or movie?
