Truly excellent review Admiral, telling me everything I want to know. Like you, I am not a big fan of those VOD sites. I probably wont give it a go, but your review intrigues me enough to take a look.
Likewise good to see you back Mbaya - that's you, BadAndy, Exotics, and Wittyguy all back. Now all we need is Toadsith to put in an appearance. Good valuable review by the way, of a site I hadn't heard of.
You put in a lot of work on this, and this great review deserves at least one reply, so here it is - another great, well thought out, and put together review, admiral.
Thanks messmer, yes I think you are right on all counts. Good observation.
I would hope anyone thinking about joining their first site would consider this one above others. It's a perfect safe first site, and it's also great to come back to.
Thanks goldfish. I always find that facility useful. They have not only a list of what you have viewed or downloaded, but a still from each clip. Makes it easy to see what you have viewed. It's handy if you want to find a clip you have viewed, or the dvd where it's from, but can't remember the name, or can't find it.
Okay I'm supposed to be not contributing here anymore because of PU censorship over free material, but I have to comment as I really like American Vice.
Cybertoad I think you'll love this site. It does come down to opinion but I do disagree about some of the things said in the review. The quality of the American Vice videos is IMO, really good. Personally I consider it is at least equal in quality to VideoBox, and is in fact better in one respect. VideoBox does not have correct perspective on some of their videos. So the bodies look really distorted. Unwatchable for me. American Vice gets the perspective right.
There was a comment about mediocre talent. I would certainly say the talent on BrainPass, a site I reviewed recently, is mediocre, compared to the talent on American Vice. The girls in some of the American Vice videos are IMO sensational. The videos are much better, and although BrainPass may have a higher Kb/sec, the original videos are clearly not as good quality as those on American Vice.
There are a number of us here who love American Vice. I know you have the VideoBox groupies, and you have those who are the American Vice groupies, so it's all opinion I guess.
Without a doubt American Vice have the friendliest and best support I have experienced. I compare this to the total lack of customer support and couldn't care less attitude of VideoBox. I guess its clear who I prefer. But I'm not alone. Check out some of the other American Vice reviews. It may give you a clearer picture.
If you want to check out the quality of American Vice, just take up the free video download offer. It's a genuine no strings no dirty tricks offer. See for yourself.
Yeah, but as we know, real spanking is a specialist thing. On the other hand they do have some good Black Mirror stuff. I think they have a better selection of fetish per video than any of the bigger dvd download sites.
There are a few of us here who really love this site, not least because of its great customer service. The difference between American Vice, and the big sites who really couldn't care less about customer service, as they probably consider themselves far too big to worry about customers, is enormous. The great customer service, along with the variety and quality of videos, makes it one of my favourites.
It's one of my favourite sites. Great value for money and customer service. I know Porn.com does a special offer to PU/TBP for $9.95 but you may have a lot of that stuff already. Hope you get some money together soon. Good luck.
Thanks for the info Reg. It's nice to know it's not just us in the UK suffering. There's some strange stuff happening out there at the moment. I don't want to get too harsh about Video Box, but when I was a member last year I had speeds down to 1kb/sec! That site is still my worst by far, for download speeds, but I do get a slow download on a lot of sites now at those peak times.
I guess you noticed the review by Messmer. Great to see you're getting some recognition at last, and featuring high in the PU scores. With your customer service you deserve it. You must hate me - my score of 90 is dragging your average score down!
I don't know exactly, but I have experienced the same thing with many sites between the hours of 4pm until about midnight. It varies but there is nearly always a slow time. The worst speed I have ever experienced was Video Box which was virtually inaccessible between those hours. I found American Vice to be much better for speeds, but there was still a slow time, as there was on a lot of sites. I had BT check this and according to them I had good connection speed.
Yeah! I like it too. At last people are starting to take note of this site. Very accurate review IMO. I agree about the webmaster. One of the most underrated things is customer service. Yes people moan about bad customer service, but do they support sites with great customer service? This is the sort of site customers should be signing up for.
The reason I really love the site is for similar reasons to Toadsith. I joined because of his review. I though he was spot on. They have truly magnificent search and navigation. Video Box getting all the dimensions wrong is a real irritation for me, and would be to any relative newcomer to internet, or a dimwit like me. I rarely disagree with the "editors choice" which picks out the best clip from a dvd. Their customer service is great. From what I've heard Video Box's is lousy. American Vice treat you like a customer, one they are pleased to do business with. With Video Box, you may as well not exist. American Vice now have nearly 1800 dvd's. Not an insignificant amount. I agree with Toadsith, in that, although they have a smaller selection, they make up for that in quality and diversity that you will not see on other dvd sites. In fact I think they have the most diverse content of any dvd site. It isn't that everything is perfect, but given the price, I think it is the best value of any site around. This allied with the feel you get from the site. They do those important things right - video content, video quality, picture perspectives correct, great personal customer service which treats you like a human being, great search and navigation, and NO dirty tricks or con jobs. Okay, not everything is perfect, but you get the feeling that they are pulling for you, rather than against you, cutting corners, or finding ways to rip you off.
Thanks Pornjackker, I appreciate it. I expect you saw the Toadsith review too. I wouldn't have subscribed if not for that. This is the great strength pf PU. It's a bunch of fans getting together to help improve things, and help one another. I think American Vice is one of the good guys, and is the sort of site I'd love to see others spending their hard earned cash on. It doesn't have any of the dirty tricks or catches that really irritate a lot of the people here, so I hope people are going to support it, even though it's relatively low profile.
Cheers. I agree with you 100 per cent. The great thing is, if anyone does has have that ripped off feeling from a site, they can come here and warn others. At least that way you can feel good about saving others and making a poor customer service site pay. That's also why the trust ratings and the status of some of the name contributors is so important. Anyone can post a warning, but for me the important ones come from the established names. In the end, how good a site is, will be inevitably revealed.
Is it my imagination or are things getting worse with customer service overall? There appears to be 2 lines of thinking and 2 types of site. One with the excellent customer service, and excellent quality product, which they consider will get them through a recession. The other one is the cutback/no customer service/get as much out of them as possible, attitude.
I know which side I will be supporting with my money. When one of the big trust names here says sometihng like this, I take notice. I hope everyone else does the same. This way the decent sites get rewarded, and so do we: For spending our money wisely we are rewarded, when we receive quality product from quality sites, with excellent customer service.
This looks like a good bunch of sites, especially with the discount available through TBP. I have always liked John Stagliano (Buttman). It's sad that he caught HIV but I guess that's one of the dangers of the industry. Jay Sin is great too. I love his milk enema stuff.
Excellent and informative reply. This is one place I will join. The problem with the industry is scummy behaviour like pre checked cross selling and automatically charging your credit card if you press the wrong link, tarnishes everyone. Here is a very good explanation of why things turned out the way they did, which is just like life. Things don't always go the way you planned, which applies to life, love, industry, anything really.
Thanks for the info Pat. So it sounds as though this is not under new management after all? Rarely do I stay with a site for more than a month or two, and have never signed up for anything longer than a month originally. The material looks good even though it is old, and they don't seem to use scummy pre checked cross selling. Be interesting to hear if this is a standalone or whether it comes with the rest of the network.
Another top notch informative review. This is a site I wasn't aware of and would certainly have igonored because I would have assumed mosaic censorship.
Great review as usual, admiral. I have never joined this network but one of the cons, for some of us, would be the use of condoms on many of their clips.
You're welcome, I was very impressed. Reading back the review, I put too much emphasis on the negatives, as it is my favourite network. I was a member for four months, which is the longest ever membership for me. Usually it's one month, or occasionally two.
One pro I forgot to mention (after taking over three months to do the review) is the streaming goes automatically into the next segment rather than stopping at the end. I liked that, as you could basically start at any part of the video and watch to the end.
Cheers Wittyguy. Like you, I have been busy and not able to spend a lot of time here lately. At least it stops me becoming jaded. This review has been in my files for the last three months, or at least the notes have. It takes hours to put it all together. Like many of the regulars here, I take pride in doing as good a job as possible.
Being named manager of the English Football Team, and outed as PU contributor, especially with my tastes, would give the tabloids a field day. I am going to have to work on my tax evasion first to stand a chance. At least we have an excuse for losing to the Lithuanians, in advance.
