| Pros: |
*Alison the VideoBox Blog Babe is great.
*Tons of videos over a broad spectrum of categories.
*Very affordable.
*Video quality options from Flash to DVD quality.
*Search engine is decent - has gotten better.
*No DRM
*Customized clips - you can edit the scenes to customize your own download.
*Fairly recently new format/design for the site is great.
*User Reviews - sometimes very entertaining and helpful.
*Favorites - can mark scenes/DVDs as favorites and create your own lists. |
| Cons: |
*A few transsexual videos.
*A few midget videos.
*Not all the videos are quality uploads - some bargain bins.
*Star's names are sometimes spelled differently when it's the same star. Makes for interesting searches to see everything they have to offer for the same starlet (e.g. Charmane & Charmaine are the same starlet)
*Fairly recently new format/design for the site still has some quirks.
*User Reviews - sometimes very annoying and useless. |
| Bottom Line: |
This is just a default subscription for me that I've never let expire. It's incredibly cheap and there's always more than enough new content to browse during my next visit.
You have to keep it in perspective. Some of the members reviews complain about the quality of the uploads sometimes being bargain bin and not worth their time. Consider what you're paying and what they're offering. Every 5 hours there is an entirely new DVD available. Every site is hit and miss, but I haven't come across any site that has this many hits for this (small) amount of money.
Recently they've added a blog and the interaction between the people behind VideoBox and their subscribers has gone beyond customer support. Alison and crew are interacting with us and it's created a whole new level to the site that was never there before. It's an evolution that some of us really appreciate.
I know it's a security issue, but I would like to see them add forums. And I'd like to know how many times a video/scene has been rated regarding their 1-5 Stars rating system. Currently, something could have 5 stars and be rated by 100 people or 1 - you don't have any idea how useful the rating is. I don't have a good broadband connection to download everything - so this could be helpful. |
