I have my month or two per year where I join the lesser known DVD sites. While I still have mostly praise for DVD Box, rated in an 85 awhile back, something feels familiar here. The price ($5) makes it a nice join for a month while you're looking for rare scenes or if you're just looking for a site to hold you over, but if there's one negative, if you've joined any of the other lesser known DVD sites like Porn Access and all the sites they have, you most likely aren't going to find anything new here. You may though. I mainly use it to find sites I've either deleted or lost, it's a good, cheap way to get those back, but on the other hand, the quality here is now becoming close to too low. I haven't found any HD DVDs, still I guess for $5 you can't expect too much. I would rate it about the same as my last review of it. Its biggest selling point is its value if you don't have a lot of DVD porn since you could fill a hard drive up for a low price.
Not for sure if others receive promos from ZTOD and their sister studios 3rd Movies or Black Ice Pass, but the latest one I received made me think Black Ice was going to start updating again. I could be reaching a little when I say I'm wondering if they're releasing Black Ice style DVDs on ZTOD since Black Ice Pass itself is dead? I know in my last review of ZTOD, I mentioned how the search engine was seemingly becoming for all 3 of their studios, instead of having to go to each studio's site to find specific models for each site. Either way, the ZTOD join is just as good as the last time I reviewed it. With the various problems on Videobox and the continued high production quality on ZTOD's DVDs, I would bump ZTOD ahead by just a little bit, maybe 1-2 points. Once my membership is up and I have a chance to see if they are updating Black Ice ethnic girl style DVDs on ZTOD, I will either write a new review for ZTOD or will post a comment.
*Edit* Just noticed ftvgirlsonline.com has a separate listing here on TBP/PU. This is the same site and the price is $29.95, not the $24.95 listed. Looks strange that the site isn't listed as owned by the same company as FTV. I'm pretty sure it's just a mobile/tablet version of the site.
I joined FTV through a promo ad on Twistys, I think it was Twistys. Instead of sending me to ftvgirls.com where the regular site is, it sent me to ftvgirlsonline.com. The content was all the same, but the site did seem faster and less clunky, but I don't know if this is like a FTV new version that they are testing out or if it's just their own clone of their site. I'm holding out hope that it's a new version and they are going to work more on the navigation and download issues.
The DL limit seems to give me some kind of accrued limit. If I don't download anything for 3-4 days, I can go way over the limit of 10 GB per day. If I hit the limit everyday, it's giving me between 9-10 GB per day before shutting me out.
Still, I wanted to share the overall amount I downloaded in a month. I do not download the HD versions. I download the 720x480 videos and most picture sets. For the last month, I have downloaded 382 video scenes, 298 photo sets and hit the limit 5 times in one week. The total amount of filesize this equaled is 242 GB. I was going to do a re-review since it's one of my highest rated sites, but I can't see taking that much off my score since I just downloaded enough scenes to last me for one per day, for more than a year.
My score would lower just a little based on principle, maybe 3 points, but I wouldn't be able to justify it enough to write an entire new review for it, outside of saying, "Taking 3 points off for the DL Limit".
I tried this site out for a month while a member on another Kink site. If you're looking for different than the norm, this is the place to start. You also get a bonus subscription to Men in Pain. Everything is the same as it is on other Kink sites. I didn't download all the scenes on Divine Bitches, but I do believe every scene has the HD option on videos. The pictures are separated into chapters which will always be an annoyance with Kink sites.
I know at least one member has mentioned Ashley Fires. She has quite a bit of content on here. Men in Pain has the very underrated Jasmine Byrne in ways most porn fans have never seen her. Really, the majority of this content is going to be different than nearly everything you've seen.
A bit of a warning ahead of time. There are what I would consider extreme cuckold scenes blended in. I'm still not real familiar with the depth of the cuckold genre, but I have always liked the sites that do what I guess is a lesser version of cuckold, where the husband watches his wife have sex. On this site, there are some of those, but there are also some where the husband is forced to give the wife's lover a blowjob and/or take the cumshot. So things could be going to an extreme there. These scenes are limited to the Divine Bitches site. Men in Pain is more along the lines of one on one femdom.
I can't say I would recommend it unless you're into the genre. For me, it was okay since I do like the dominant female scenarios. It goes well beyond the mainstream porn world though. Definitely one that you will want to look at the preview of before joining. A big positive for me was the models. Outside of a couple of Kink sites, you won't find a lot of well-known models, but Divine Bitches has quite a few. Lots of Isis Love on both sites for fans of Isis too.
I joined this site awhile back, maybe 2010, and thought it had a ton of potential. Back then my thought was it was some kind of spinoff of FTV since I know FTV shoots quite a bit in Arizona and Sun Devil is usually associated to Arizona. The layout also has a FTV look to it with the magazine style thumbnails for each model. I still have some content from it, mostly photos, but the preview isn't being helpful unless of course, they stopped updating since it only shows a small section of models. They also had the public tease/exhibitionism like FTV. I know that FTV spun off at least 3 solo model sites and pretty sure those have all stopped updating. Though let me make clear that I'm not saying it is FTV that owns or runs this Sun Devil Angels site. It very well could have been a site ripping off FTV's style for all I know.
I have a 2 month membership so I will give them the full 2 months before reviewing it since my review wouldn't be that fair or even that positive right now.
The quality is very high. I really like the photo sets as well. The ones I have downloaded top out near 6000 long end on the pictures.
Video quality is very high as well, though a little confusing. I don't know if they are doing something to optimize bitrates/file size, but full length 1920x1080 files are only 200-300 MB.
One reason the video files are small is because the time of the videos. I haven't seen a video over 20 minutes yet and the average seems to be in the 14-15 minute range.
As I had worried would be the case, the picture sets are better than the videos. I believe the basis of this site is really good, but it's going to take nearly perfect execution to pull it off. Most of the models, especially females, are younger 18-22 range, and I'm not for sure how believable an 18-22 year old can be when it comes to passionate sex.
To my surprise, there isn't much dialogue or story with the scenes which was something I was expecting a lot of. On the other hand, there is the Kamikaze Love series, which I downloaded all of, only to end up deleting all of because it was like watching an HBO after dark movie.
I will give it the two months before reviewing it with the chance maybe their steady updates will start showing some improvement.
As others have mentioned, DDF is running a very good promo right now, but it has one big problem or maybe two. One is the right border cross-sale to Porn Access, two is that it doesn't look like you can change your credit card info. From the best I can tell it's an offer for past members and it is going to charge your card they have on file for you since it signs you up with your past username and past password. This is a problem because my credit card expired back in March and I now have a new one with a new CVV code or whatever it is called, the 3 digit number on the back. I'm not for sure why they would use this method to sign-up, especially with a huge discount and a marked cross-sale. I'm not insinuating anything except their promotion could be hurting itself since I don't think it would be possible for my card to be approved. My last membership was in May 2011, so surely they would know credit cards expire?
In a recent membership to Videosz, I noticed that Videosz has over 200 DVDs from Erromax, the studio that most of this site's content comes from. I wouldn't say not completely exclusive since they only had DVDs from 3 of the original Erromax sites, but it could also be a good way to check out some of their content. It could also be why there are posts here about old content disappearing.
Like Jay's comment, Fame Digital and their other networks, use the "it's way over there on the right pre-checked cross-sale". Ran into a second problem when joining since I joined Sweet Sinner on the same day. My Fame Digital account wouldn't login. I clicked to reset the password. Then realized both networks use the same cancellation process which includes inputting your username and password. Well, I used the same username and password to join both. I guess the system didn't pick it up when created or it would have said username already in use. Instead, they sent me a new username and password with 3 numbers added to the front of the original username and 3 added to the password.
Also found the cancellation process a bit frustrating since it says, "If you do not receive a cancellation email, your cancellation might not be complete." I didn't even need to go look in my email to know I didn't receive it. But I did go look and sure enough, no cancellation email for either. Went back and did the cancellation process again, my account was still showing up, cancelled again, no cancellation email. Somewhere in here, I was getting pissed off. I ended up waiting for a few days since I remembered the delay before their system noticed the duplicate username. Sure enough, 2 days later, I received the cancellation confirmation email.
I thought this was worth mentioning since the site is only $9.95 the first month, $29.95 for the second month. If you were wait until the last minute to cancel, it's very possible that they could charge you for the recur and say their system hadn't processed your cancellation request. Really good network overall, but that out of place cross-sale combined with the slow cancellation request process does at least make me feel like others should be warned. That's what that out of the way cross-sale does to your credibility.
I would agree with most of the recent reviews on Sweet Sinner and the sites you get with it, but I guess I didn't skim the reviews enough to see the lack of zips on photo sets. I then ran into the same problem on some of the Fame Digital sites, owned by the same company. I wouldn't say I joined either of these networks for pictures, but there were several scenes I would have liked to had pictures from. I probably wouldn't have thought anything of it if they didn't include a photos link. Once you let me see them, you have to give me the zip option or you're kicking my OCDC. Some of the photo sets look like real photo sets and not just screenshots. Why go through the trouble of taking these pictures but making them unavailable as zips?
Either way, the network, similar to Fame Digital is worth the low price for video collectors, but if things like no zips annoy you, you might want to act like that "pictures" link isn't there.
I would have reviewed this site, but because of job duties ended up missing the last two weeks of my membership. Admittedly, I wouldn't have joined this site if not for a promo Kink sent to join it at a much reduced price.
My feeling with this site is that it wasn't what I expected. As someone who isn't really into BDSM, but love Kink's "live" content, I was left with the feeling that this site would be much better for those who love BDSM, but are less into the live part. There is a voyeuristic feel to the content as well as exhibitionist, but some of the BDSM was just a little more than I can enjoy and the live parts aren't like the other Kink sites where a live crowd is brought in to watch.
I could be wrong there. The scenes generally revolve around a group of dressed people doing casual things like eating, cleaning, while a dom or doms, dominate a sub or subs, right in front of them. Where I could be wrong in this not being an actual live audience of normal people is that the "guests" are dressed as if they are at a social event. I think my believability factor is being pushed here. I can't imagine a group of everyday people going out and plunking down cash for a thousand or two thousand dollar outfit to watch someone be dominated, but again, I could be wrong. It's hard for me to see myself doing that so of course it makes it less believable for me.
On Ultimate Surrender's live shoots the crowd is a group of normally dressed people in t-shirts, jeans, shorts and while those are likely planned as well, with crowd/performers interaction, I find it more believable.
Not to down this site because I've never seen a bad Kink site. As always, the content is very high quality technically and in creativity. If I get another promo to it, I will definitely give it another go, but I can't see paying the non-promo price for it. Would definitely recommend it for those who like BDSM and even more of a recommendation if they like voyeurism and exhibitionism. The best compliment I can give is that I think the site is a bit ahead of its time. The other reason I wouldn't review it is I didn't even get a chance to try out the live cams or raw footage sections.
I'm not for sure how long Tera fans can expect to keep getting new updates, but the site has updated monthly so far this year. If you'll notice on the TBP review, it had stopped updating in March of 2011. I don't know if there is a model who has aged more gracefully than Tera and here's hoping there are more updates to come and not just some stuff they had stashed away.
Also if interested, it is a much better deal to join through Fame Digital since you get this site plus 25 others, where as if you join through Tera's site you only get 16 other sites.
This is one of those learn from my mistake posts. Bang Bros are now offering more than 10 different addon packs, but you can only add them for the special prices once you're inside the members area of Bang Bros. Their biller, while not real well known, has never given me a problem and the biller itself replies to any problems with 24 hours from my experience. I had signed up for Bang Bros then added the Super Pack. When I went to cancel, I canceled "Bang Bros" from the support page. That didn't fully work. It canceled the Super Pack, but not the Bang Bros membership. After I went back and looked, after an email to their biller, there was a second membership listed on my account, which was Bang Bros itself. I hadn't canceled it. They could do better with this by listing the Super Pack as Super Pack and not Bang Bros, but I could have clicked the drop down box to see two accounts too.
So if you add anything besides Bang Bros, be sure when canceling to use the drop down menu to see the other accounts so you can cancel them too. In a way, I felt like this is misleading, but in another way, I can see how maybe someone would just want to cancel the addons, but keep Bang Bros, so it's iffy as to how you take this practice.
I noticed in my confirmation for subscription email that this was at the bottom, "As a special THANK YOU for joining, we want to give you something FREE! No catch, no strings, no additional charges whatsoever. 110% FREE for you to try." I didn't put the rest since it has a code in it and link. It's for a free account on ATK Movies. I thought I would give it a shot. Filled out the email info, created a username and password, never received the email it said I needed to click on a link from. I would guess from the wording that the link takes you to a screen where you can put in your free access code that came with the confirmation email. I've checked my inbox, my spam box, but have nothing about it.
The other problem is one that other members have mentioned, the site is glitchy. I would estimate at least 40 models cannot be clicked on. Their thumbnail picture is missing, as is the line under their name which you can usually alternately click on.
I'm posting this part because it works for me. Some of the models that weren't clickable have large collections, including one that has 20+ photo sets.
In Firefox, if the thumbnail is not there, you cannot click the model or get to her content.
In the newest version of Internet Explorer, the thumbnails are still missing on some, but you can click on them and get their content.
One last part, continuing on my previous comment, the exclusivity is being pushed. I had first noticed the ATK Exotics sets showing up on ATK Petites, I can tell you they also have some ATK Galleria sets and ATK Premium sets here on ATK Petites.
The current poll question piqued my interest in Wicked Pictures again since I keep putting a membership off because of the lack of a preview with a full model list. The new preview is actually worse than the old one. I'm under the assumption that these mobile sites are the same as the full sites just made to be viewed on a phone or tablet. When I went to Wicked Pictures Mobile they have a full model list. I only needed to go so far to see 11 scenes of April Flowers, who is easily one of my all-time top 5 stars.
So I will post this here for now in case anyone else is looking for a model list for Wicked Pictures full site. I can't guarantee it's the same, but the other mobile sites are the same as the full sites as far I know. Give me a week or two and I will get a review or comment up to tell whether this list on Wicked Pictures Mobile is the same as the Wicked Pictures website.
I was going to join based mostly on the inclusion of Eve Angel Official to get the 30-40 updates from it that I don't have, but before joining, I see this contradiction on the "sites" area in the preview.
At the top of the page, "NEW! We added a new website to the network pass in December 2011 - EVEANGEL OFFICIAL"
On down the page, it says, "(note: Eve Angel Official is not part of the DDFProd Network)"
I may be being overly cautious since the first one says "NEW" but it looks like if you're going to edit in the new addition of a site, you would take the time to remove the note on down the page that contradicts it. I'll never understand these sites that spend all the money they do in programming and leave something this contradictory and basic on a site.
Any current members that can tell me if Eve's site does come with DDF Network?
I've been on an ATK tour lately and put Petites last since, I admit, I was waiting on a promo email, but didn't get one. So I joined it anyway and want to point something out that the other reviewers have, but I don't know if I wasn't paying attention or what.
There is content on here from the other ATK sites. It's definitely not all of it though. There is a good amount of exclusive sets here, but I was downloading one model and noticed 5 photo sets I already had from ATK Exotics. I could be a little off on this since I know some sites will release separate sets in the same outfit, same setting, but there's one that really stood out to me since it was a favorite from ATK Exotics and it looked to be the exact same set.
Not really disappointed since these sites are at least doing everything else right. I just hope ATK isn't going to become like DDF and say because they have a network now, anything on their sites can be shared and still be called exclusive. On a positive note, it looks like most of the shared sets were in the earlier months of the site's life so maybe they were just trying to flesh the site out in its early stages. Still worth mentioning though. Really good picture sets as always with ATK.
No DL limit for me, but the cancel hijinks are back
This probably isn't any different than the comment posted a few days ago about cancellation problems with Brazzers. Reality Kings likes to make canceling a pain too. I can at least say that I didn't hit a download limit and topped 10 GB per day each day of my membership. And I did sign-up through the promo discounted email if that possibly could make a difference. That's the sort of good news. Then there's the bad news. I'm going to post this just in case anyone joins and isn't familiar with the trick cancellation process. It may be unfair to call it a trick, but it's just as bad as cross-sales, which by the way, like another PU posted, I have joined RK many times, never missed the cross-sale until this time and it got me. Kind of strange they got both of us, but hadn't before. So watch out for that one since it seems to be working for them.
Okay, when you go to cancel, you enter two of the possible four things they ask for. It will locate your account and give you this message.
Are you sure you don't want to stay?
You answer "No thanks"
Another screen opens with a special offer price and asks if you want the special offer.
You answer "No thanks"
Third screen opens to confirm one more time. The options are.
Yes and
No, I've changed my mind.
Come on RK, that's just wrong. After clicking two no answers in a row then wording the third one so the person would click no again? Which would stop the cancellation? None of this would be so bad if they didn't use very poor grammar on the first question to make it where you click "no thanks" to get you in the motion of clicking no.
Luckily, I had been through this process with Brazzers before and I bitched about that one too. So maybe RK will drop this stupid cancellation process like Brazzers did. It's bad enough the missed cross-sale canceled out the $5 I was saving by joining through the promo email and even worse that a more than dozen time member has to watch every word to cancel. It will probably be another year now before I join again. How's that for marketing strategy?
And hopefully others will read about the cancellation process and be aware of it.
I had been wanting to try this site out since they have 3 scenes I wanted so I signed up for the trial, mainly because it was through ccbill. Once inside and signed in, I can't do anything. There's no way to download a scene because the icons for downloads are not clickable. If you right click and "save as" you receive an "index" file. They have added a second bonus site called Argentinian Porno, but it only has 8 scenes on it. The two sites combined have a total of 42 scenes.
I'm guessing they have removed the full-access from the trial or it could be a problem with the site too though since it doesn't even recognize me as being signed in. The two options that I can click are, "Purchase scene" which is $15.99 to buy one scene and it says, "YOU DO NOT have to be a site member to purchase an individual video/ scene. Please click on "Pay with credit card" button to proceed with the purchase. Every Full video/scene is $ 15.99"
The other option that I can click, "Create a new account". Just to make sure, I cleared out my cookies and tried it again with both IE and Firefox, but I still get the same result where the site looks broken or the trial is equal to no access since you can only view a 2 minute trailer, which most free previews let you do.
I went to join Videobox a few days ago, going through the TBP link, I am seeing the $12 price slategrey mentioned, but when I went to pay there was no option to add Vivid and Evil Angel like before. So I tried it going straight to it and reverting to the "old site" there was the option of joining Vivid for $10 and Evil Angel for $10, which I had planned on joining both.
This is where I'm confused. Since I know the Kink channel is only available through the new format VB3, if you join through the old site, I know you can switch to VB3 during membership, but does it still allow you to add the VB3 only channels? Though I still prefer the old site, I think this confusion could be a sign that it's time to either revert back and stay back on the easier to use old site or go ahead and move forward with VB3 only.
Different options from one format to the other is just asking for this type of confusion. The other reason this is confusing is VB has sent me promo offers during active memberships that say, "Add Evil Angel for $15" or "Add Vivid for $15". If I join through the old site, I can add each of those for $10 each, from the beginning of the membership.
I had noticed the comments about the ATK sites receiving overhauls and the Santa Claus of porn sent me a promo offer to rejoin so I was a bit, happily, surprised at the new changes. Everything now looks nice and colorful, easy on the eyes too. It doesn't feel like I'm looking at a site that hasn't been changed since 1998. So the initial appearance of the new format gets an A. The models are improving too, in my opinion, I have already found a couple I hadn't seen anywhere before, that have over 2,000 photos each already.
The update schedule is now much clearer and easier to find. By my count they are updating with 7 photo sets per day on Monday-Saturday and 10 videos on Sunday.
That's an impressive update count, 42 photo sets and 10 videos per week.
The newest pictures, tried 3 different sets from 3 different studios, seem to be coming in at a consistent 3000 long end resolution.
The newer videos have an HD option that is 1280x720 and they do run very smoothly. I had been having some problems with HD videos causing odd color blotches during playback.
Very impressed overall so far with this longtime favorite that I've had my share of complaints about over the years. The site is finally catching up to the models. I may even give Galleria a try after several years of being away since this one has impressed me this much with its changes.
No idea what happened here, but everything has changed. There were new updates, but I don't know if they have moved them to the DDF Network or what. This site itself is rotating old content if you look at the calender. Also noticed Eve's wiki page has been stripped down to hardly no information. The single site join price has dropped a couple dollars to $22.95, but gives you a nice heads up that you can get the site with the DDF Network now. I don't know if that means Eve has retired or what, though her performance quality had really been suffering in the newest sets I have seen of her so I would rather her retire then stick around and be boring.
I think this is a really good add to their network since it was selling by itself for $25 and I personally had joined it multiple times over the last year.
I had joined this site after a promo email from Met-Art. The content, while mostly exclusive, isn't exclusive as a whole. I couldn't put a number on the amount of exclusive scenes since I don't collect all these models, but I can give some examples that may explain why the one member review here talks about technical issues with the photo and video quality.
On Eve Angel's content here on The Life Erotic, at least 6 of the 12 sets they have of Eve are from the old Eve Angel site, including a set, Eve drinking milk and pouring it on her body, that dates back to 2004. That photo and video set and the old stairs set (listed as Stairway to Heaven on Eve's old site) from Eve's site were released as exclusive on The Life Erotic. And both were released on The Life Erotic in 2011. Both of these sets are 6-7 years old.
They are posted as HD, where as the original ones were on Eve's site in 640x480 resolution. That could be where the problems with the video is coming from that the previous reviewer noticed.
So, check the model list and the available sets before thinking you're going to get content of a favorite model that you don't have. Overall, the site's not bad at all. They do have some really nice models I haven't seen before, but there was a letdown when I went to get some "new" Eve content only to find out it's up to 7 years old, repackaged as new and exclusive. This would be easier to look over if they didn't have a banner across the top of those sets that says "Exclusive".
I have really liked the content I have seen from Wicked and as someone who thinks Brazzers has really turned their network around, I find myself willing to give most any site they are involved with a try. It has a good price so I will probably join it anyway, but they really could benefit from a better tour. My main thing when considering joining a site I've never joined is to be able to see the models they have. Wicked Pictures tour shows maybe 12-16 models and tells how much content they have of those models, but when you click the model list to see the other models, it takes you to a join page instead of the model list.
I don't know if this is something they are maybe working on, but being able to see a full list of the models would have made me join already. Plus all their other sites have full tours, so I don't really understand why Wicked Pictures doesn't. One model in particular has become a "reason to join" but she may not be on here, Jynx Maze. And if it's not something they're working on, maybe a little nudge to consider it? Everything looks good with the site, content, price, would be a shame to possibly lose potential customers because of a lack of preview options to view available models.
