| Pros: |
-Vast amount of content
-Decent price, one of the few sites I have ever seen where it is cheaper to join by renewing free trial membership than by joining outright, although probably a mistake on their part
-Plenty of variety, although some niches aren't as well represented
-Download managers work
-Download speeds are decent, I averaged 900 KB/s
-Excellent member interaction with reviews and opinions of videos and scenes
-Frequent updates
-Ability to creat custom clips, so you only have to download what you want. |
| Cons: |
-Site navigation is mediocre. For a smaller site, their style might be great, but for a site this large it just doesn't work
-Search function often returns a mixed bag of seemingly random stuff, or doesn't work at all
-Model labels are often incorrect. I can accept that they can't be held responsible for what is on the DVD, but when the members comment that the model name is incorrect, would it be that difficult to fix it?
-Video quality is mediocre in this age, and the file size of newer videos seems quite large given the quality of video
-Site bills directly rather than using a 3rd party biller
-Quality of videos is very hit-or-miss, with most in my opinion being miss. |
| Bottom Line: |
I know there are tons of reviews of this particular site, and I am sure that everyone at PU has been or will be a member eventually. This site used to be one of the best if not the best porn site on the net. However, lately I feel like they are focussing on stupid little user interface issues rather than resolving major issues with the site. How many times have they redesigned the front page? While adding user costum edited clips is interesting, who has the time to dig through that shit?
They should focus more on fixing the problems with the site. Get quality rather than quantity. They already have a huge archive, I don't think many would be dissappointed with 4-5 updates per week if they were good updates. Also, a site this large needs better navigation. The videos can easily be tagged with more info than gonzo and one on one. Tags for tats, breast size (other than large), and body type would be nice. If they don't want to do it, let the users tag the scenes - I'm sure plenty will.
This overall is a good site, and there is a reason it is so popular, but they could certainly take a cue from sites like American Vice that unfortunately failed. Like I said, everyone here should and will become a member here at some point or another, but that doesn't mean videobox doesn't have plenty of issues to resolve. |

| Pros: |
More than 8000 DVDs
Good category search
More than 200 videos from "Private"
Feature movies
Translated to many languages
More than one new DVD every day |
| Cons: |
"Private" videos are old
Not consistent download speed |
| Bottom Line: |
It is very difficult to write about Videobox. There are many reviews on Porn Users and it is very difficult to write something new about it.
I will not try to repeat everything which was written about Videobox. I will try to write about things which were not described.
I like that interface is translated to many languages. I like Videobox category search too. I read that users dislike search on Videobox. I am using only their multiple category search and I like it very much. I also like Videobox variety, they have 40 categories to look for. They also have feature movies, and many movies from "Private" which IMHO is the best porn studio. "Private" videos on Videobox are old, were first released on DVD about 2000-2005.
I like Videobox site and recommend it. |

| Pros: |
*Great selection
*Great variety
*Frequent updates
*High quality videos
*No DRM
*Fast downloads (based on your Internet connection)
*No download limits
*A "My Videobox" option that lets you save your favorite videos/scenes |
| Cons: |
*Inconsistent quality updates
*You have to pay extra for Evil Angel and Vivid videos |
| Bottom Line: |
Of the numerous adult sites that I've joined throughout the years, Video Box is perhaps the best site of them all.
Video Box features virtually all of the qualities that I look for in an adult site - quality videos, great selection, frequent updates, No DRM and fast downloads.
The quality of Video Box's videos are very good. Video Box offers five different quality download options, including an iPhone option. On top of the various download options, Video Box also lets you stream the videos on its website, which, in my opinion, works well when you want to preview a video before downloading it.
In addition to the high-quality of the actual video playback, Video Box also offers high-quality videos from high quality studios, such as Private, Red Light District, Legend, Platinum X and, recently, Diabolic.
Video Box offers a great variety of genres. It offers pretty much every genre that you'd find in your typical adult video store except for gay videos (although it does offer a separate pay site exclusively featuring gay videos).
A video is added approximately every five hours, which is relatively often compared to other adult sites.
One of the most overlooked features on an adult website is download speed. A lot of websites, whether intentional or not, have excruciating long download times. Don't you hate when the video you're downloading downloads at only 1/4 (or less) of your actual Internet connection speed? I know I do. The download speed on Video Box is consistent with my Internet connection speed, which means I don't have to wait hours for a single scene to download
Two factors prevented me from giving Video Box a perfect score: (1) Updates, although frequent, vary greatly in terms of quality and (2) You have to pay extra for Evil Angel and Vivid videos.
As I mentioned earlier in this review, the actual video play back quality is great. However, the quality of the featured videos/updates vary greatly. There are times when the updates consist of high quality videos from high quality studios, while there are times when the updates remind you of the videos featured in a makeshift clearance box tucked away in an obscure corner of your local adult video store.
All in all, Video Box is an excellent site that I highly recommend. |

| Pros: |
- Tons of videos
- Videos offered in various quality to suit individuals needs
- Update of videos and content everyday
- Different price ranges that start from being very low to that of an average site.
- Easy navigation layout for finding exactly what your looking for with many options for searching. |
| Cons: |
- Download speeds vary and sometimes are slow
- The content is non-exclusive and could be found on many of the other dvd sites
- For the extra content available (vivid/evil angel), an extra charge is incurred |
| Bottom Line: |
Videobox is the definition of dvd sites. The amount of videos offered here, well succeeds many of the other sites out there. Even if the content is non-exclusive, there is enough of it to satisy any one of your many desires. Compared to any one of the other dvd sites, the price for videobox is a bargain for the amount of content you get. The biggest problem I had with this site was that even though it updates everyday ( which is more than enough), I found myself wanting even more of this great site. |

| Pros: |
Huge choice of videos going back over 5 years sourced from the best mainstream studios.
Frequent updates.
Excellent range and selection of gorgeous girls and styles.
Great variety of video formats, bitrates and sizes including mobile devices.
Streaming video works very well with excellent navigation.
Older content has been recoded to the highest bit rate of the latest videos - many other sites don't bother to do this.
Excellent navigation and organization of favorites which can be organised in "folders".
User reviews help to give you an idea whether to bother watching or downloading a video you're not sure about.
Can create custom clips (if you feed the need to).
Good download speeds (~600K/sec) and works with my d/l mgr of choice. |
| Cons: |
Poor download speeds (~50k/sec) for smaller clips - I guess the smaller vids are hosted on slower servers/networks?
Sometimes poor download speeds (less than 50K/sec) on some occasions.
Organising favourites didn't work - I tried moving favourites between folders and it didn't work. No response from Videobox support either. |
| Bottom Line: |
Not much change from my previous review of this great site.
In light of all the other great reviews, this'll sound boring, but Videobox is an excellent site that's excellent bang for your buck.
The content isn't exclusive but is high quality both technically and in content.
The so-called DVD quality may only be 640x480 but it does scale well to full screen on my widescreen laptop.
Would be nice to see proper HDV though this would mean much larger filesizes.
Would like to see more videos from Private studio as I'm a stockings kinda guy and they do lots of girls in sexy lingerie.
Overall highly recommended. |

| Pros: |
- It’s Videobox, one of the largest sites on the internet
- Huge collection of videos (7500+ DVDs)
- No DRM
- Different file sizes for different download capabilities
- Five updates a day
- Seem to listen to user comments and complaints
- Adding more older (1990s) DVDs |
| Cons: |
- Sometimes bigger isn’t always better
- Quality of some of the videos is questionable
- It’s fairly clear they push quantity over quality |
| Bottom Line: |
Yes, I know Videobox has been reviewed here many times before so I won’t simply rehash everything that you can read below.
I’ve said this before – if you’re new to collecting internet porn a membership at this site is essential. Most porn video stores wouldn’t have the volume that VB has. If you’re just starting out this will take you much more than a month to get through unless you have a really narrow niche you’re looking for. The other site a newbie needs to spend some time at is American Vice. I’m amazed that VB and AV don’t overlap much more than they do. The up-side to this is that you can download from one knowing that you probably won’t find it on the other.
I first took out a VB membership in 2005 and maintained that without a break until late 2008. After that I switched to taking a monthly membership a few times a year. If you’re new to the site, expect to stay a while.
There have been some subtle changes that I’ve noticed over the past little while. One is that they seem to have been listening to a lot of complaints by users that the DVDs were heavily skewed to anal themes. Some people took to calling the site “AnalBox.” In my current stay at VB I can report that there does appear to be a reduction in anal themed DVDs. I’ll leave it to you to decide if this is good or bad. (The Rearadmiral, though, thinks it’s bad.) In my opinion, the switch away from anal (which I never thought was out of proportion with the industry – anal is popular people!) means that VB doesn’t have some anal scenes from some of the hottest new girls in the biz. Stars like Aubrey Addams and Dakoda Brookes do anal, but there aren’t a lot of their anal scenes on VB. I suspect that this is partly a response to complaints.
There are also a lot more European videos. Some of these are decent, many aren’t. When they promise five updates a day they have to have access to a lot of videos and they seem to have sourced a lot from Europe. I like European movies, but I prefer U.S. stuff because I find it easier to keep track of the stars I like.
Anal or not, one issue is that they really seem to focus on quantity over quality. Some of the videos are really bad. I mean generally bad, not just “I don’t like this fetish’ bad.
One thing I liked was that they are also adding some older (1990s) titles. Yes, I know this is a preference thing too, but it does add to the variety.
Apart from adding a lot of European content they are obviously continuing to expand their American lines too. Since my last membership they’ve added J.M. Productions, for example.
Overall, this site remains a must-have membership if you like porn DVDs. You can’t please everyone all the time, but this site tries and frequently succeeds.
(Please note that nothing above is intended to apply to the two extra-cost bonus sites. I’ve not had a membership to either and can’t say anything about them.) |

| Pros: |
lots of content. great navigation and search options |
| Cons: |
a lot of the content isn't great and the site seems to have more quantity than quality |
| Bottom Line: |
it's a huge site and it's easy to find stuff that would appeal to everyone, but once you've done this you don't watch the vast majority of the movies. |

| Pros: |
- Enormous amount of content: 7500 dvds and over 40000 scenes
- Great price at $14.95 / mo
- Stream or download
- Incredible amount of updates: 5 DVDs / day
- Easy to use webdesign |
| Cons: |
- Video quality doesn't go beyond "dvd"
- Lots of their stuff seem to be rather outdated and / or older
- Mediocre download speeds
- No pictures (not a problem for me, but might be for some)
- Video 'search bar' acting weird |
| Bottom Line: |
All in all I personally was extremely satisfied with my experience. I joined at the rate of $14.95 / mo and stayed for one month... at this price I believe you get an at least very decent deal for your money. The amount of content is simply overwhelming.
I liked the way the content was organized into categories, and especially that they didn't create twice the amount of them just to have a different 'folder' for a few videos they have. On the other hand the search function - as others have reported as well - was acting weird at times, but it didn't bother that much, I usually just got lost in browsing like mad man. There are other ways to find what you're looking for, for example by using the 'newest', 'recommended', 'top scenes this week' or some other filters.
There are no pictures whatsoever, except for the DVD covers and a few screenshots that you use for searching. It didn't bother me at all, I'm a 'video guy'. Video quality was OK. I'm one that would enjoy nice HD footage every once in a while, but most of the time I'm rather looking at the content of the video rather than its quality; as long as it reaches a 'watchable' level, I'm OK with it. With that being said, offering only DVD quality and below is a little bit outdated, but I think it fits the profile of the whole site at the end. You get different .wmv formats (high and medium) and a few extras (such as iphone / ipod formats). Streaming worked just fine for me. That top 'search bar' was a kind of difficult to understand... I guess you should be able to see the frames where you're trying to get, but as it was mentioned earlier too, it's so inaccurate that it was almost useless (you really don't get where you think you scrolled on it). This was a little bit of an inconvenience, but nothing major.
Download speeds varied. Sometimes it was just fine, especially when doing multiple downloads at the same time, but sometimes it slowed down to the point I'd consider bothering.
Overall I was pretty satisfied with my month spent at Videobox. For those who want pictures, top quality HD material, or maybe just have been browsing porn for 'too' long, this site might be repetitive and outdated and not so much of interest. Otherwise it offers an amazing amount of content, and a user interface that can be lived with, especially considering the price you're paying.
ps.: As an extra note, a friend of mine took a look at it who was interested in their real milf selection (where 20 year olds in high heels don't qualify as milf :-) ), and he was pleasantly surprised with the amount of actual good content available; according to him including series, and parts of series that he hasn't found anywhere else earlier. |

| Pros: |
+Amazing site.
+They have over 7500 dvds and counting.
+They useuly add 5 dvds daily so your getting around 150 dvds a month.
+Browsing is very easy.
+Also they have a very wide range in their selection everything from amature to tranny.
+Download speeds are nice I'm able to download 6 different sceens at once deppending on the size of the file. Ive tried going all the way up to ten at a time but some sceens just dont make it. |
| Cons: |
One bad part about the site is when your trying to find a pornstar a lot of time when you type in a name 6 different girls pop up all with the same name.
Another Con is that they dont have any bonus sites. |
| Bottom Line: |
Again its an amazing site. 150 new dvds a month is well worth the price.
I would deffintly recomend the site. |

| Pros: |
No other site has this huge amount of videos.
Still better/easier navigation - it's plain simple. (not including search)
Nice price.
Custom-clips for downloading shorter previews
A lot of different categories
Ok download-speed
Fine daily updates
DL-manager allowed
Great latin-material |
| Cons: |
Search-machine stinks - search for A and you get B.
Old videos market as new
Too many anal-videos
Quality varies too much
Not much difference in video-quality if you choose the higher price
Too many videos put in here are the ones you can buy for $1
'No personality' - all in here seems pretty 'impersonal'
Pornstar-search is almost useless - see below |
| Bottom Line: |
Most PUs have been at this site several times - and we go back again and again, why?
Maybe because VideoBox has that endless amount of clips where you can hope to find those really special ones.
BUT - most of the times you get dissapointed - mainly because the motherload here consists on DVDs or videos that are for sale at any low-price porndealer out there... but here you get it at home - for - yes, still: a low price.
I do not expect to find the top-material here - but ok, maybe 1 out of a hundred, you still catch up with great videos - after a loooooong search.
Some damn fine latinas are my latest - see Marcellinha Moraes in 'Full Service Fucking' - for one.
And you can get lucky to find some fine videos of some favorites - Get lucky?
Yes, because the search-machine is horrible - for both categories and pornstars:
Categories: Search for Blondes - and you get hundreds of everything else, search for masturbation - and you get hundreds of Gonzos.
Pornstars: They got a major problem here - hire some PU - and it will get them much better help about the right names - AND the right scenes - ok, out of over 64000 videos, it's got to be a job - but still: You find too many models under wrong names - and the same model with up to four different names.
Still VideoBox has its force - when you get fed up with the same deal at more special sites, you can just go browsing and browsing and browsing here.
BUT: Major bottomline is still the lack of top-quality videos - they are too rare here - no matter to which price you choose to join.
The 85-score goes mostly to the vast amount and the - sometimes - joy of an almost endless search (without the search-machine of VideoBox) you got to choose you own speciel way here...
Gave it a 95 in an earlier review - but times are changing and the main cons are that VideoBox does NOT keep up in viewing quality for most videos... |
