I don't have the answer for you, but the last time I was a member there the add-on 'channels' were pro-rated to the remaining length of your first month. So if you joined VB on July 1 and also joined the Kink channel on July 1 you paid the full price. But if you waited and joined Kink on July 20 you were only charged for the one-third of the month that you used. That was valuable if you were only staying a month. Subsequent months you'd be billed full cost for both VB and the Kink channel.
One major caveat, VB really seems to have changed their business model. They don't seem as transparent as they once were and they could have changed the billing practices for the channels.
One advantage though is that the Kink channel gives you access to shoots from several different Kink sites so you can get samples from a lot for a lot less money. The biggest disadvantage is that the file resolutions on the Kink channel are far lower than what you can get on an actual Kink site.
I hope this helps.

Hi Rearadmiral
Thanks for the reply, sounds good to get more kink stuff without joining all. That's my biggest annoyance about that network is I only like a certain type of model, not into heavily tatooed women and like various models on the network but when I look at joining the site I'll only see a handful of movies I'd like so I never join. Wish they had some sort of deal if not all access all sites which I doubt they'll ever do. But a deal to get say 40 movies for $19.99. Then I could pick the ones I liked.
So how much is the full Kink Channel and VB do you know.
Is the video quality acceptable like in 720p or lower?
Cheers

I wish I had the answer on costs for you, but in all the comments and reviews it seems no one, including myself, ever noted that. But some of the more recent information there does suggest that the pro-rated pricing for the add-ons is still in effect, which means that you can control what you pay provided you cancel your main membership after a month. If you're confident that you can get all the Kink scenes you want in a few days then sign up to Kink with three or four days left on your VB membership and you'll only be charged for those few days remaining. But if you forget to cancel you'll be charged full price for both VB and the add-on at the start of the next monthly billing cycle.
I don't remember what the file resolutions were either, but I can say that I have since deleted all of them. I'm guessing 540x480 or somewhere around there.
I agree with you that it would be a great idea for Kink to offer some 'buffet' kind of membership where a member could access a specific number of scenes across all their sites for a set fee. One thing about Kink though, is that if you join one site you get a discounted price to the others. But that's still an expensive proposition. Kink does offer some form of pay-per-scene but I don't know how much it is per scene. If you're really only interested in a few scenes that may be a cost-effective way to get HD scenes at a reasonable price.

REPLY TO #3 - rearadmiral :
Thanks again
Yeah I looked into the price for individual scenes and its basically priced at such high prices I doubt anyone would ever bother buying. some scenes are 24 kinks (tokens)
20 Kinks for $19.99
42 Kinks for $39.99 - SAVE 5%
75 Kinks for $69.99 - SAVE 7%
178 Kinks for $159.99 - SAVE 10%
So for $39.99 you still wouldn't be able to watch two 24 kink scenes. Some are cheaper, I don't really get how they are priced as they are all just random numbers, I'd say average is around 16 kinks a movie.
I'll give the videobox a miss then mate also as 540x480 is too low for me. Oh well I'll hold out for the day they decide on a network access lol.
Thanks for trying to help.

I'm glad I could help you out. I do think that VB passed its prime a long time ago. I think the only reason they can offer such low prices is that they upload crap and only in low resolutions by today's standards.
Like you, I'll celebrate if Kink ever offers some kind of network access.
