Pros: |
Videobox has a good variety of newer and older movie clips available. There are different download speeds for the viewer to choose from, depending on their internet connection and application. The price is very good, less than a movie purchase!I enjoy the make your own clip option and also really like the ability to view the clip before I download. |
Cons: |
The site needs to break down the niches. The search was often inaccurate, especially if you checked pornstars. The video quality varied greatly from clip to clip. |
Bottom Line: |
A+. Recommended, inexpensive site to download clips from and build your dvd collection. I am probably going to join the site again in a few months. |

Pros: |
Lots of great content.
Many different types of content.
Each scene has relevant and accurate keywords.
Many download options. |
Cons: |
New interface has many bugs and is very difficult to use.
In my opinion, they have ruined one of best sites on the net.
Search feature no longer works correctly nullifying the benefit of the keywords. |
Bottom Line: |
Software engineers have this annoying desire to take something that works well and redo it so it no longer works. Their desire to add the latest "features" like floating windows that pop up unexpectedly in an irritating manner overrides the desire of the user for simplicity and ease of use. New versions always have bugs that require months or even years to fix.
VideoBox had an excellent site with 5 new DVDs added per day. Unfortunately, they just redid their interface as VB3 and basically ruined the site. I hope they will come to their senses and go back to the old interface, or at least give users the option. I am not against improvements or new ideas, but VB3 is a giant step backwards in terms of usability.
My rating drops from 95 to 70 because of VB3. That is how much I dislike it.
VB is one of two sites to which I have been a continuous member for more than 2 yr. It saddens me greatly to see it ruined.
With the new interface, I can no longer recommend it. |

Pros: |
Over 8750 titles available as of today.
Five daily updates.
Excellent streaming.
Excellent download speed.
Reasonable price. |
Cons: |
Search is horrible, eg. search under "old" or "grannies" and you will get listings featuring teens etc.
Most videos are grade B or worse.
Not enough variety from one update to the other, it is mostly Gonzo style Porn that starts with the action rather than with a lead-in. Checking any given daily update shows a monotonous sameness among the five DVDs.
Much Niche content is under-represented .. see monotonous sameness!
Deception in many DVDs. Sometimes compilations are offered that only have one or two scenes that actually represent the action promised by the title. This goes for other DVD sites as well.
Talking about titles and deception, frequently teens aren't teens and MILFs aren't MILFs. This would be the producers' fault rather than that of Videobox but they could be more discriminating when it comes to choosing the titles they will purchase, so they must bear part of the blame.
Too many videos are blurred (soft rather than crisp) .. see Grade B videos. |
Bottom Line: |
Just like others I have to stress that this is not the first time I subscribe to this site and the obvious conclusion is that there must be something that keeps bringing me back. Sometimes I do wonder why, but still and all I would encourage anyone who is new to porn to subscribe.
They will find a wealth of scenes they will like.
For a newcomer there is even some nice niche material (hair, pregnant, mature, peeing, BDSM, transsexuals) they can download if they are interested in the off-beat.
However, for anyone who has been a member on and off over the years the neglect of niches when it comes to the daily updates is regrettable and has to reduce the ratings given by them. That's why a newbie might give a 99 while I'm giving a 75. In my mind no higher score is justified at the moment.
Together, newbies and veterans might give this site an average score that better represents its value than the 95 given by TBP.
And, yes, down the road I'll probably subscribe again! |

Pros: |
- It’s Videobox, dammit!
- HUGE collection of DVDs
- Probably the largest DVD site on the internet
- Excellent value
- Wide variety of material available
- Premium (extra cost) channels are worth the price |
Cons: |
- Selects for quantity, not quality
- Heavy reliance on European videos
- A lot of Grade-B, C and D material
- A lot of B/B/G scenes
- Heavy reliance on compilations where the original is also available
- Poor search function |
Bottom Line: |
Yes, I realize that this is probably the most reviewed site here at PU, and yes, I also realize that this is the third time I’ve reviewed this site, but I wanted to update my opinion of the site and I figured that a comment wouldn’t suffice. I also added the premium channels this time too.
I’m a big fan of Videobox. I’ve had friends who’ve asked for recommendations on porn sites and I’ve sent them to VB. VB is an excellent way to build a large, good quality porn collection. It has enough variety to satisfy all but the most unusual tastes, though the search function (or lack thereof) makes finding what you want more difficult. A site this large needs a better means of searching.
VB is big enough and well known enough that one bad review won’t hurt it. I’m still a fan, but less of a fan than I have been. The thing I think that is dragging VB down is, ironically, what is one of their big selling points: five updates a day. The problem with having five updates a day is that this emphasizes quantity over quality. When they’re putting five new DVDs up per day, every day, regardless of your tastes there will be an awful lot of crap being uploaded.
To fill their daily quota VB relies heavily on European porn. I prefer American porn, but that’s not my motivating point here. There is good European porn and there is bad European porn. (Same with the U.S.) The problem is that VB seems to rely on more bad European stuff than good stuff. Take Private – they are (or at least used to be) a high-quality studio. I only learned that they also crank out complete crap thanks to VB. This is grade-B and C Private stuff.
Another pet peeve of mine that is also caused by the daily update schedule is the use of a lot of compilation DVDs. The problem is that with many of the compilation DVDs VB has already posted the original. Luckily someone usually points out the duplication. But VB gets to count another update without really updating anything.
On the plus side, VB has recently been adding older Seymore Butts titles. These are great to see again.
They’ve also started adding some Diabolic titles too. There aren’t many up yet, but these certainly move the quality balance in the right direction.
For the first time, I also added the ‘premium’ channels. These really add to the value of the membership now that they are bundled for the fee. They are a bit pricey, but they do offer good value with both channels having just under 400 titles posted now. A new title gets added to each channel every two or three days.
Is VB still a great value? Definitely. But they should modify their business model now that their so far ahead of the competition and focus on quality rather than quantity. I’d be satisfied with one update a day to have better quality. |
