It is boring, but I check it with a fine tooth comb because some of the people that run these sites are charlatans. Watch your back !!

No, it can happen anywhere. Pay close attention, especially to trial offers. I just carefully check all my information before I make the final click! You are not obligated until the final click, so you can check any site out.

Yes, from time to time. I always double check the sign in page before I make the final click!

Indeed. They should have a sample up, but I think that would cause a near mutiny among those who do not have immediate access to it. However it is very impressive and even more so considering they are pumping out 2-3 a day. I would offer to upload the file where you could see it, but I know we can't do that.
Might make a good topic for the forum for members to simply compare various sites. The other topics related to bitrate seemed to speak mainly of the technical aspects.

In truth looking now having looked over the site a bit more it looks as though I may have exaggerated the file sizes a bit. Most of the 1080p are around 2.5-3.5 GB's with only a few being over 4GB. That goes to show I really haven't downloaded very many. Still they are best I have seen, at least imho.

The only scene I have currently is:
Site: Big Wet Butts
Scene: Triple Butt Pump
Size: 4.35 GB (4,675,992,829 bytes)
Length: 51 minutes 16 seconds (fairly long)
What is the bitrate then, and how does it compare?
Also how do you calculate it?

I don't know how to find the bitrate on the video, but if you tell me how to find it I will look it up and tell you.

Just as a heads up if you are looking for an HD experience that is closer to what Brazzers has, I looked around and the Zero Tolerance site comes a bit closer. Although it still is not quite Brazzers quality (as far as the 1080p) it comes a bit closer than Ass Traffic. Plus the file sizes are a bit more reasonable (than Brazzers).
I've been thinking about giving it try myself.

I didn't mean that it was an advantage, it is in fact a drawback, but I don't consider it a major one since it does play smoothly on my computer, I just can't go jumping around as far as fast forwarding and rewinding. I can still pause it start it back fine, and I'm sure there are computers more powerful than mine that can handle ff and rr. I don't mind just watching a video and letting the plot play out without skipping all over the place, at least once in a while. If I want to ff and rr I have the option to download the 720 hd and do that.
I hope you are not under the impression that I am a big time Brazzers guy. I just think they have gotten a bit of a bum rap although I have tried to be fair and see both sides. To tell you the truth it is only one of a number of sites I am member of (mainly since I still have the $9.99 discount) and I probably have only downloaded maybe two of the HD scenes in question. They do take up alot of space 4-5 GBs, plus it takes me at least a full day to download just one. I am saying BECAUSE of those attributes it is unreasonable to let everyone download them due to server demand and the lag it would cause for everyone.
Really if I didn't have the discount I would have already moved on from this site, I've mainly kept it for the value.

I just downloaded the AssTraffic HD Sample. While it is not far from the Brazzers quality it does not quite match it. Brazzers if brighter with much richer color textures. The difference is not huge but substantial, and definetly noticeable immediately.
Put it this way, I have a very powerful computer that plays the Brazzers HD smoothly with no problem at all, but if I try to fast forward a scene it will not let me do it, the video freezes. No other HD porn has ever given me that problem. I may start a forum thread to see if anyone else knows of a site with HD of the same quality.
As well though the other concerns about AssTraffic still stands, namely a lack of updates (according to the TBP review), and no network access.

You make some good points. While I do believe it is fair to charge a fee for the 1080p blue ray. They should let you know up front that it is not an immediate part of the membership. Really what they ought to do is as I had previously suggested, make the 720p HD available immediately, since that is what most sites are offering now. That would still allow them to charge the premium for the full HD.
Overall then we disagree over whether or not it is fair to charge the premium, but agree that it they should be more up front about it, or at least need to find a different way to do it.
As for Ass Traffic, I already conceded that they may well have the same quality HD as the Brazzers 1080p Blue Ray. However I am not sure, maybe I will download the sample and give you my opinion in a couple of days. The only thing I would say that it is apparent that not all 1080p is created equal, since the website Pornpros also advertises 1080p but it is nothing close to Brazzers quality.

I agree that this is one of those sites that should simply state that HD is a reward for long term members. It would take next to no place and would avoid disapinting paying memebers. I truly do not care for HD so the fact that they don't offer it upfront would not affect my review.

They have great content and offer an amazing number of videos. I had a year membership that was great but when I signed for another one I started being constantly locked to the point that they refunded my money. I don't know what happened and I'd really like to sign up again but I don't need the aggravation.

Whoa thanks for pointing this out, I had a look before and even got so far as the sign up page - no sign of any HD extra.
I agree with you it is cheating since they don't tell you upfront, very misleading.
One Huge plus I'd give them is whilst their scripting is quite good, they are getting some awesome locations/sets these days.

Even though you didn't seem to take offense at my little charge of ignoring all the comments on here, I'll still apologize for it. Knowing that such blatantly shady business practices should continue to reward these people really plucks my nerves, and I just spoke off the top of my head.
If I could use BBCode or html here, the following would be in a 72 point, bold, italicized, underlined and red font:
JUST SAY, "NO!"
"THEY ONLY WWANT YOUR MONEY!"
The rant is done for now. I'll now go back to more a more Buddhist pursuit. Time to feed my fish and sit back to watch them eat.

I do hate what they do. I believe that over the years the total number of monthly subscriptions must be over one million. They should just offer HD vids for everybody on day one just like every other big site is doing today. They can afford it.

I have to ask how you've missed all the comments and reviews about this site - a lot of which deal with the HD issue. They're definitely one of the most underhanded, sneaky and deceptive sites out there. If I had the money, I'd think about taking out billboards to tell people to stay away from here. (Okay - that's a stretch. But I can't seem to yell, "Just say NO!" loud enough!)
There are over 40 active reviews and more than 60 comments up about this site and, unless I missed it, I don't see one webmaster reply to anything that's been said about them, either good or bad. But, from the way the site is run, they obviously don't care what people think. As long as they keep the site cheap, they know people will keep signing up and they'll keep making money. I can easily imagine them sitting around a table, laughing their asses off, as they discuss the next bullshit scheme they're working on to gouge their customers.

I find Brazzers extremely over the top pushing the cross sales etc, that it just keeps me away from them. Though I agree when you just get to their actual content it is pretty good.

Wanted to make an addition to my response.
During my normal surf session today I did notice that Pornpros also states they are using 1080p, so it is open to debate. However I also am a member at Pornpros (9.99 loyalty discount) and I am quite sure the 1080p they use is not nearly the quality as that of Brazzer'. (not even close) Looking further the file sizes for even the most recent Pornpros HD vids only range between 600-700mb's. While for Brazzers they range from about 4-5 GB's.
Even still I'm sure Brazzers advantage will not be a permanent one in this regard, and it will be interesting to see what happens when others catch up.

Lol, I wish I were a webmaster for Brazzers, I'm sure it would be much more lucrative than what I am doing currently. Nonetheless...
First off I originally stated that Brazzer's HD is the best I have PERSONALLY seen; I'm no expert on the subject. You may indeed know of other sites that offer video that is equal in quality to what they have at the moment. (Although I would probably guess that there are not many.)
As for Ass Traffic, it is a site that I was vaguely familiar with before but had never had an interest in membership. Now after having had a look they do indeed shoot vids in 1080p so it probably does match Brazzers offer from that standpoint.
However even if it does offer 1080p it still a poor comparison since:
#1 There is no network access.
#2 Site hasn't been an updated since August (according to the TBP review in September 09) may well be dead, not sure since the have no update schedule listed on the preview.
#3 As of the TBP review in September they only had about 138 HD videos. Brazzers has a little over 300 already with updates of 2-3 per day.
Nonetheless, some have brought up legitimate beefs with the Brazzers model that I do agree with. First if you purchase a yearly pass you should be given access to the HD vids immediately since you have already paid up front. (I actually think that is a bit ridiculous.) They should also think about giving immediate access to the 720 HD since that is what you would get immediately at a comparable site
All in all I'm pretty confident that Brazzers is the only one putting out 1080p porn in quantities this large. Even DDF's vids aren't nearly as impressive and they've been the standard for a while now (as for as networks). For that I think charging a premium is fair. Besides from an IT standpoint offering complete unrestricted access to file sizes that large would be painful at best. I've been on sites that had no HD and what shut me out due to server demand (Scoreland).
Speaking of Scoreland now THAT is model I disagree with. They segregate nearly ALL of their HD content to a completely separate site called ScoreHD. It's basically the same exact videos from across the Score networks but just in HD format, forcing you to pony up another $30 (standard price) if you want the HD vids. (But there are no pic sets at SCORE HD)

I didn't want to play the bad guy here, but I think this site is getting a bit of a bum rap. First I would say that the new 108p HD videos are absolutely STUNNING!! It's not easy to impress your average porn connoisseur nowadays, but I can honestly say It is by far the best HD I have personally seen on the web, I don't know if it can even get any better. Certainly I will admit that they had issues before with vid quality but now they have clearly gone from worst to first in dramatic fashion.
That said, I can also see from a business standpoint how it is fair to charge a premium for the new HD. First off as stated before it is by far the best HD out there, particularly if your talking about "mainstream" sites. Second, as they have mentioned, if they allow everyone access to the HD vids it would almost certainly overload their servers. Most of the 1080p vids are huge, were talking 4-5GB's for a typical 30 minute scene. Even the 720p vids are around 2-3GBs. If they just allowed the typical user with a high end computer and a fast connection to download whatever they wanted it would be a nightmare for everyone, including those just wanting to get the regular wmv quality.
Nonetheless if you still want to get the HD vids you have two ways to do so. Purchase the credits, or remain a member for 6 months. I think that's fair. Many users like myself took advantage of the loyalty discount a while back for $9.99 a month so it's not that bad. (Don't know if they still offer it now)
As far as the billing issues I can't speak to that, although I am not downplaying it. I'm just saying it hasn't happened to me and I've been a member for a while, had to change credit cards etc. I will say that for those who had yearly memberships that is indeed a bummer. They ought to have some sort of yearly recurring membership so you don't have to renew manually, but I can see how some people wouldn't want a membership to recur yearly, most sites have that as a one time thing.

I've been reading elsewhere, this kind of shit Brazzers is pulling is getting very serious for a lot of innocent people. One claims he signed up for a month, turned around and there was a $1,100 charge on the credit card from them! Brazzers saying money was spent through their live feeds / chats / something, and threatening legal numerous actions if not paid.
