That's true but I'm not aware of any studio site that does this. It could be a technology issue. I mean VOD requires members pay for streaming time and you have to monitor that time for each member so that is a lot of people on your servers.
I guess that's why they use AEBN and Hot Movies for their streaming services.

Well, it's not the whole network. There are plenty of videos and also photo sets before the recent shift that I described.

I think that Elegant makes a decent amount of money on dvd and Blu-ray sales and they know that if the movie is made available on their own site too quickly then they will lose some of that money. Who will pay 20$ for a dvd and more importantly wait the week it takes to get delivered when they can access it right away for about that price and get plenty more as well?
I think the profit sharing on VOD sites isn't all that lucrative for studios so it's a catch 22 for most of them. Do you make your new super indemand movie availabe to VOD sites and thereore get some money or withold it and chnace that the movie makes it on tube sites or torrent sites and lose money.

I think they are going to withold the VOD release until they've sold a few dvd's and blu-rays first. I don't blame them because it must have cost them dearly to get her to do anal. I'd be surprised if she did it for less than 10,000 and I'd have no problem believing that it cost them 20,000. We are afterall talking about the Holy Grail of anal pornstars. I can't think of any other girls in recent history whom people thought would never do it and that includes me.

I agree that our taste are very similar. I think your recent review was the reason why I joined this site. I really don't mind condoms and in many ways I'd rather see more of them. I'm tired of reading about a new outbreak or this girl leaving wafter she got another STD.
For that reason I gave the site a slightly higher score than maybe somebody less pro-cpndom would.
I think the biggest suprise for me was the ability to download the complete movie. It makes perfect sense when you cosider that they offer scenario driven porn but I think most other sites would not offer the option even if they could simply because it's cheaper not to. The fact that you get access to most if not all of their library is alo a big surprise. Man i wish other studios would do like Wicked in that regard.

Ah, OK, in that case that's definitely a bit suss, or at best an unfortunate coincidence. Was their joining page secure with the padlock etc? Pretty shocking. Hope you enjoyed Kuala Lumpur :D

Ditto Admiral, I bought some of Rodney's DVDs (boy I guess that shows how long he's been doing this). Anyway glad we know now to put this one on the skip list.

Do you know if it was actually compromised, or did your bank wrongly assume that the transaction for the site was the fraud, as that's what's happened before with me?
Glad to hear it's not too much hassle, hope you get everything sorted soon :)

I'm surprised a website wouldn't use an independent biller for their peace of mind, let alone anybody else's.
I'm sure the website is trustworthy and your card wasn't compromised as in my experience credit card companies use automatic algorithms to build a pattern of credit card use, and anything that falls outside that (ie, a charge directly to a website you've not used before which doesn't use a biller) would be enough for them to block your card to err on the side of caution.
Hope it didn't cause you too much inconvenience though!

Like I said in my review. This site suffers a great deal from the fact that Evil Angel exist because EA is much better than Elegant.
I don't know when Lexi's movie will be uploaded to the network but my gut feeling is that it won't be before the end of October at the earliest and mid to late November might also be possible. There are at least 5 movies on the preview section that are still not uploaded to the site so these will probably get uploaded first and if that happens then you are looking at at least November.

From when I was a member earlier this year, it was usually about a month or so between when a movie released on DVD and when they put it on the site, give or take a couple weeks.

Thanks for the kind words, fellas.
The truth is, there are plenty of good and bad sites willing to take our money.
I don't mind an archive site (no longer updating), as long as there is good content available and I know beforehand that the site is no longer updating.
But like most things, there are plenty of porn sites that are a complete waste of time and money.

Thanks, RA (RA for rearadmiral, but also stood for Regular Army back in the day).
I'm going to give this site a pass. Too much uncertainty about the download limit problem, for me.

I could see piracy being an issue for smaller sites certainly, but I got to admit this particular site would have a very hard time proving that as a reason for decreased revenue (no updates in years, dated and annoying navigation, stupid price structure), in this day if you make a junk site and don't update, everyone knows about it. Back in Lightspeed's heyday, they may have gotten away with it, but surely no longer.

Thanks. I'm familiar with Public Disgrace and FTV, and I agree with your reviews of them. I'll have to check out the others.
I appreciate your advice - thanks

Too bad. I also like public sites, and they are too hard to find. Thanks for giving us another beacon in dark waters.
Are there any site you like in this genre?
Thanks again!

Thank you rear! I really appreciate those kind words.
Yes there are very few reviews on PU for me - I seem to have written half the gay ones! But I hope my contributions will be useful to somebody, and might encourage more gay people to join.
manholelover does some good reviews and has warned me off a couple of sites and introduced me to some new ones - sadly he's not around so much now but I try to keep in touch with him.
TBP are also good about doing a lot of gay reviews which is nice, though I wish they'd concentrate more on reviews of new sites instead of re-reviewing sites they've already done - sometimes several times. Still, I am grateful they do it at all.
There are also other "professional" review sites including ones devoted to gay porn only - it's interesting how much the scores vary between sites!
I still enjoy reading reviews here and taking part in the community, and the $550 I've won since joining has come in very handy too!

Always good to see a updated review from a trusted member for sites like this, this is going on the "dont even think about joining" list. Cheers for the detailed review, shame you had to pay for it.

"Cavalcade of crap"! Love your turn of phrase!
It is always so disappointing when you find a site which offers something rare that you're really into, only to find they've messed it up! Happens to me quite a bit - at least we have PU and some great contributors like yourself to warn us off them!

After checking with support, they do allow downloads, just not for the discounted price they offer old members (for what they call full access). I guess you have to pay full price for that, but from a quick review they haven't added any new material in at least a few years.

Yeah I've been a huge supporter in the past but $29.99 a site doesn't tempt me back, neither does 5 month subscription of $99.
Not when in the past you have had network access, why not just say $19.99 or $29.99 for network.
