I've tried US proxy (66.167.100.59:6649) and I've got US price for one adult site. You can try.
Yes, some billing use geo-targeting and if you have US IP they use price in $, but if you use EU IP they use the same price but in Euros.

And, one more thing regarding pricing...
The exchange rate between the US and other countries varies daily. If you were to come to the US today, your money would be worth X amount, but if come tomorrow, that rate may change. The fact that our site is US based should make that very clear, and prices change all the time based on that exchange rate.
If you want a guaranteed fixed price on something, you will probably only find that in your home country.

I don't know how else to please you...
You are first directed to Netbilling, which does not have geo-pricing. Only if you're declined from there are you redirected to CCBill. Even if you would have had the choice on which biller to use, you would probably still choose Netbilling first, since they don't have geo-billing. So, the outcome would have been the same... Netbilling first, then CCBill.
If I'm missing something, please let me know. But, other than my explanation, I'm not sure what else would make you happy here.
Thank you for being a member, though... and I hope you're happy with the site, aside from this small issue.

Hey ace, have you tried the site? I've considered joining, but I'm split between this site or finding another with a raven-haired tattooed model (like Gia Santi).

Nope, no cross-sales either. I was thinking of grading it in the high 60es/ low 70es, in between low/might recommendation, leaning towards the 60es. But maybe that just me being too nice due to the lowish price and honest tour, they after all tell you what you get and not to expect any more being added.
That of course begs the question whether sites should be rewarded for not trying to cheat you and rip you off?

Enticed by the combination of the low subscription fee and the unusual tour advertisement that "The site doesn't update", I joined the site to have a look around. The not-updating part is true, above the last updates the following message is posted:
"A message from Gia:
Hello everyone, well it looks like my site has come to an end. I Hope you enjoyed our little run. It was fun, fun and freaky. This is going to do it for me. My contract is up and I am no longer modeling but I do have one or two photo clubs left. This site will turn into a portfolio site where these images are available for anyone that are interested in gazing at my big tits and wet pussy. Y’know, just for kicks. I just wanted to give you guys a heads up before the next billing period. I hope you all enjoyed view all of me and who knows, maybe in the future, I might have to reappear. XOXO Gia Santi"
A+ for the honesty of mentioning in the tour that the site is no longer being updated. The "19 erotic sets" also advertised in the tour consist of 7 picture galleries and 12 video clips (640x480, each 8mins long).
Ten of the videos are of Gia quickly stripping and then some toyplay that doesn't really get going, one is a behind-the-scenes and one is of Jada Liu using a dildo.
Gia looks great with the black hair and the tattoos (though the latter is probably an acquired taste of mine), but besides some music playing there is no sound in the videos, which kinda ruins it for me. Parts of two scenes where she rides a dildo and one video where she licks a dildo for the whole scene in various poses was the hottest IMO.
So it's a really small site, downloaded in about an hour or less, but as it's actually advertised in the tour and the low price it's hard to be disappointed about that. The lack of sound in the videos, besides the music, was more disappointing. I probably wouldn't have joined had I known that in advance, but maybe you aren't as caught up in the sound as I am.

I'd say pass on it. Searching for a review resulted in nothing. Actually searching for the site name resulted in nothing period. It's like no one heard of this site.
I also don't trust the whole FREEEEEEEE ACCESS deal.
If you do want to join, desperately. Please use a secure card number so they can't keep billing you.

Hmm, as a person traveling between Europe and the US quite frequently I would like to thank you for pointing this out and I would like to thank the webmaster for clearing stuff up. I was always confused by the different prices...

Hi!
Short version: I feel you would run quite a risk by joining this site.
Really long version: I haven't been a member of this site, but when I looked at this site, my adblock filter showed the address KarasXXX.com. (Kara's Adult Playground here at PU, apparently a streaming-only DVD site or something) I remember noticing KarasXXX yesterday while researching some other sites at LezLove's forum.
Though it's from 2005, in the seventh post in the below link a guy named spooky24 has two of the company's sites on his lesbian blacklist:
http://group.lezlove.com/shwmessage.aspx?ForumID=38&MessageID=13646
Relevant quote:
"[...]
4. Lesbian Pink-This site is part of KaraXXX Megasite and for a $29.95 you get access to 54 sites-sounds so inviting-54 sites for one-But each one of these sites have the very same thing-links to prehistoric pic and vids the only difference being a name and a slick well produced web page-10 of the sites are for gay men.
[...]
24. First Lesbian Kiss-Another site from Kara's Megasite-No video at all-just still capture images from old fake lesbian movies-Not sure where they got the word "Kiss" from because I didn't see any-Really stupid site
[...]"
His description of those other sites coupled with the apparent lack of a proper joining option (Only option seems to be a free trial that will recur at 49$/month wtf??!!) + not the slightest preview of what content you can find inside + a pre-checked cross-sale to a pair of sites that will recur at a combined 90$/month + of the 54 company sites listed at PU no less than 12 are clones, means I would stay away.
Sure it's an old post I link to and the company might have changed, but if they have anything besides some non-exclusive DVD clips behind the membership doors, why aren't they showing some trailers or something? Also claiming to have had three billion(!!!) satisfied members seems a bit excessive for such an unknown site.
One of the sites they try to lure you into with the pre-checked cross-sale is a clone of 12X Movies, which a PUer has given a 50, and the other isn't listed at PU.

You are not forced to choose between two different billing companies. Netbilling is our primary, and they don't have the geo-based billing. If you get declined with Netbilling, you are redirected to CCBill to try again. We simply give you an alternate way to join if your first attempt is declined.

Our main billing processor is Netbilling, and we do not use localized billing for our join page. I believe our secondary processor, CCBill, does, though.

Nah... DRM has nothing to do with downloads that stop. Once you are connected to the file, you're connected period. DRM does not fall into play here.
DRM is when you download a music or video file to your computer and it will record information on your computer to create restrictions like:
- Can't be shared on another PC, common amongst music downloads.
- Will expire after a certain # of plays or timeframe.
- Will expire if you cancel your membership.
The problem is a connection point from your PC to the servers... has nothing to do with the site. Most Internet provider piering points are extremely unstable, and many of them cut you off for a while if they notice a lot of 'sustained' download activity, they especially do this if you do a lot of uploading.
I know for a fact that Pornstar.com DOES NOT USE DRM. I've downloaded and played files after membership periods, shared movies with buddies with my flash drives, and play my favorite ones constantly... no problems.
Just try the download again... it's common that big files can get cut off by Internet connections, wireless connections, etc.

I'm unsure what you mean by "live preview pics". If you mean free vids, then no. That privilege is reserved for paying members. It is not a cam site. But all member pics are viewable by both guests and members (paying or not).

Hi,
The use of download managers is allowed. A few weeks ago the number of simultaneous threads was limited too much. We changed this settings after your report, so that shouldn't be a problem anymore!
If your download manager doesn't work at all, please try a newer one, that integrates into the browser! Some old download managers don't have this feature, and won't be able to download from our sites.
I can personally vouch for the DownThemAll! Firefox extension, as I use it myself. Some other members reported it to be working on our sites as well.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/201
Getright and Flashget should work too.
As for the European speed problems, they only happen for a few certain ISPs, it's not by all means whole Europe. We're located in Europe too, and I get almost 4 mbyte/s from home.
We're always working on fixing speeds for those who're having problems. If you have slow speeds, please send an email to support@ddfprod.com with your IP address and a traceroute of www.ddfprod.com if possible.
Best regards,
Endre

Ace, it looks like the site has changed since I was a member. All I can say is that it was all in segments when I was there. It may different now, but I can't tell.
My download speed was a steady 1MB/s. I don't use DL managers, so I can't help you with that question.
BTW, I think porn.com is a better site.

I agree 100% with you. The website is apparently for us European members unusable. Speed capping till the downloads almost stop.
This all started when they upgraded there website to the new look, which is a REAL DISASTER.
If i would give them a rating it would be VERY close to 0.

I am currently in Europe at the moment, downloaded from 1byday earlier between 150-200kb/s. Download manager wouldn't allow any more than one file at a time. Handsonhardcore though gives me DL manager use and almost my maximum connection speed.
I am lucky in that I have finished downloading what I want from 1byday, just going back for the new updates. I can understand why you are pissed off though, its wasting days of your membership.
I gather DDF servers are European based, so you might have thought pink panther's speed would have been even worse, further away with more chance of a bottleneck, but he's managing to get the max of his connection.
Maybe the 1byday server is getting overloaded by Europeans and they have put some kind of measures in place, to slow things from those locations.
Customer support is normally good if you have any problems with this site.

What country are you in? I'm in the US and I haven't been experiencing this at all - right now I'm downloading with a download manager with a speed of 516 kb/sec, which is the download cap imposed by Comcast, from what I can tell - I never get downloads faster than 525 kb/sec.
