| Bottom Line: |
Hustler is one of the biggest names in porn, their website, however, is mediocre at best.
I couldn’t do anything on the first day, because I kept getting internal server errors. I opened a support ticket about this, but never got any reply. On the next day the site was finally working, so it might have been a temporary issue, but some kind of response to my ticket or an apology would have been nice.
The site is easy to navigate once you get in. They do have a proper search function, which is always nice. I don’t like using drop-down lists when I’m looking for a specific model. In addition you get 48 different categories to help you find what you’re looking for. On the profile pages you only get basic biographical information, but scenes from other network sites are shown, which is also nice because you don’t have to search every site individually. What I really liked is that you can find the video update schedule for the whole month on the homepage.
They do update frequently. For October I counted 65 video updates. Compared to other studio sites this really is a lot. But for everything they are doing well, there are at least two things that suck.
Hustler doesn’t do 1080p. The best you can hope for is 720p. The HD quality on those files is just average compared to sites like Evil Angel, Naughty America or Brazzers. Sometimes it’s difficult to tell what resolution you’re downloading, because they label their files as medium, high or super. A Super MP4 video, for instance, can be only 540p while the Super WMV version is a 720p HD file. And, of course, older content isn’t even available in HD. Download managers are working with the Hustler sites, but the download links seem to expire quickly (in less than 2 hours).
What really bothered me is that many of the movies available in their network are not original Hustler content. Many scenes are from Combat Zone or Zero Tolerance DVDs. I’ve also spotted some Diabolic, Evil Angel and Pink Visual movies. That isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Some bonus content is always nice. But it isn’t labeled as such. The studio logos are cropped from the movie covers, which is annoying and misleading. After I had joined, I realized that I already have many of the scenes on my HDD, because I have/had a ZTOD and Evil Angel membership.
In addition to videos and pictures, Hustler also offers access to their magazines. That would be great if they hadn’t executed the idea so poorly. Magazines can only be viewed online. A download option isn’t available. At least you can print pages from the magazines. If you want them on your computer you can simply print them as a pdf file. At least in theory. I never managed to print more than 10-15 pages at once. A whole magazine has about 100 pages.
If you want to add some scenes from Hustler DVDs to your collection, go ahead and join. But you’re not missing out if you don’t. If I had to sum up my thoughts about this site with a reference to a Hustler series, I’d say: “This ain’t a good porn site XXX. This is a parody.” Thanks to a deal on another site, I only spent 5€ for a 30 day membership, but I’m kind of regretting it spending that much for this site. |
