| Pros: |
I guess I have to start with the obvious, and that is the quantity of the material almost defies belief.
No download restrictions.
There are so many videos, this site in effect, gives you a free preview of anything you wish. It also gives you a chance to check out some videos from producers you haven't tried before.
The way the downloading section is set up is very good. It is perfect for knowing what section or sections of a video you want to download. It would be perfect for downloading from any category on any site, that has nothing to do with porn. The way the stills are set out makes it so easy. I love the simplicity of the downolading too.
They do break up the categories for you, and you can view the videos depending on date or popularity, which is handy. I like the look and way things are set out. Considering the volume of material I think it's about as simple and friendly a system as you could have, |
| Cons: |
There is very little worthwhile fetish material. There are one or two interesting items, but that's about it.
There are very few videos from genuine independents. It all looks the same, even though they have videos from a great number of producers. There are one or two exceptions to this, but 95 per cent could all be from the same company.
As with most teen and amateur stuff, it starts off with the usual feigned surprise or naive innocent looks, to suggest they've never done anything like this before, and within 2 minutes they're at it as though all they've done for the last 10 years is have sex on camera. I strongly suspect that some of them may not be trainee rocket scientists or brain surgeons.
Digging out the gems from so much material can be time consuming.
No photos. Not so good if you like downloading pics.
Their highest "DVD" bit rate is really only average.
Ridiculously low download speeds between 4(!)kb/sec and 70 kb/sec. |
| Bottom Line: |
Remember when you were a kid, and you dreamed of owning a sweet shop. Video Box is that sweet shop. I've never grown tired of chocolate or sweets, and I've never got tired of porn.
There is so much on here, that it's a little mean spirited to suggest it's time consuming trying to dig out the gems. It can sometimes be fun to just browse. You can stumble upon something that you maybe wouldn't have bothered with. The good thing is, it's so cheap you can download 10 worthless videos, and have wasted no money at all. It means you can virtually try out stuff for free. If your taste is for vanilla, straight sex videos, there is enough here to keep you satisfied for just about the rest of your life.
The big weakness for me, is the lack of fetish material, but then when you look at the price, it's hardly surprising. It is a negative, but realistically, if this site had newer videos, and more specialised categories, the price would be triple what it is. But yes, this is the big weakness - too much old stuff, and too much of the same thing, with little variation. It's like a warehouse of cheap videos.
I linked to Video Box from Paysite Discounts, which means $3 off the $17.95 price. I'm surprised TBP don't have this offer, given how popular Video Box is with their people.
I don't wish to be too negative with the negatives, or too positive with the positives, but I have tried to be objective. I know Video Box is very popular with this site. Rightly so. I have to say I think it's still good value. The amount of very good straight sex videos, arranged in a way so that they are easy to download, from a well set out customer oriented site, means I would recommend this to anyone as their very first porn site.
I am not going to tilt too far into the negative because of VERY slow download speeds for me. I cancelled my subscription a few hours after joining because the download speed is so painfully slow I have to be very selective what I download. This undermines the advantage of the enormous amount of material there is on there. I know some of you do have problems with download speed where others have no problems at all.
I will just add that I was down to 4kb/sec on some newer videos, but the speed on the older videos is between 30-70 kb/sec. This may be what the problem is. The newer more popular videos are being downloaded by more people, therefore the speeds are slower. I'll leave it to you tech boffins to comment on that. In fact after attempting to download a number of videos and monitoring the speed, I found nearly all the newer ones were much slower than the older ones.
I wont mark down too much, because the speed may just be my problem. I have never had speeds as slow as this before on any site though. I know this review wont go down to well at TBP because you all love Video Box. It's just what I have found.
As a late edit - I have found some speeds on older videos of up to 300kb/sec. That is some variation! 4kb/sec-300kb/sec |

| Pros: |
The higher quality downloads are great. There's a lot of content and the performers are mostly attractive, apart from a few too many silicon breasts and tattoos.
"Orgy Sex Parties" really does live up to its name. I don't call two couples having sex, an orgy. This is one of the few orgy sites that delivers. "Pure Cherry Girls" is also very good for young and attractive girls.
The camerawork is excellent. It makes the girls look really good. Good angles with not too many close ups. Beautiful people captured tastefully by the camera, to bring out their best.
The extra discount from TBP makes "Pink" sites much better value for money. It is slighlty more expensive then some equivalent sites, but for me the better quality of the videos is worth it.
A good variety of sites, with most of them containing an acceptable number of episodes.
I have read about slow downloads, but have found a rate of about 100-200 kb/sec. |
| Cons: |
First month's subscription you can only download a limited amount of the available content. Then second month, another selection is released. This is not made clear on sign up.
Really dodgy extra sites subscription con, on the sign up form. You have to untick this box to make sure you are not signing up for extra sites. I took off 5 points for that.
Older material is not downloadable, and quality poor.
Picking out what you want to download is hard, as navigation is not easy. Some of the videos are cut up into many pieces, and it's hard wading through. Too much filler content makes it even harder.
"Teens For Cash" is now "Pure Cherry Girls." It's exactly the same site, but with a changed name. I was told this by the sign up people. This was not made clear anywhere on the sites.
When you try to cancel you are offered a discount, with extra sites. Shame they don't make this material available to loyal cusomers.
Too many tattoos, even on the younger girls. A turn off. |
| Bottom Line: |
I'm new here and not used to subscribing to a ton of sites. But for me, this site offers more than a lot of the equivalent sites. It's the look. I think "Pink" gets the camerawork right, so that they highlight the good looks of the performers, rather than just close ups of groin shots.
There was enough content to make me sign up for a second month. My membership has just elapsed. I may join again in a few months as my hard drive does not have a great deal of storage. I just wish their navigation was easier to follow.
The older streaming material is possible to watch, but is cut up into some very short 5 minute clips at times. This, along with too much filler material, can be very irritating.
It's all personal taste but they seem to get it more right than wrong, and there are a number of sites on this subscription, with quite a variety of content. Maybe a small disappointment was the shortage of episodes specialising in black girls. "She Got Pimped" has fewer episodes than expected. "
There seems much less condomed activity here than on Reality Kings or Bang Bros sites. If you hate watching condomed porn, this is another thing to consider.
All in all, I thought the money was worth it. |
