| Bottom Line: |
This review may be a lot more ambiguous than what I normally write but I seem to have more questions than answers about this site (these sites?).
The network is made up of 25 pornstar sites, a mega-site, a ‘meduim-sized’ site and four niche sites. I can’t even give an educated guess as to how many DVDs or scenes are available here because there is a lot of overlap between the ‘sites,’ but it would be safe to say that there are tens of thousands of videos here. Sounds enticing, doesn’t it?
Of the 25 pornstar sites only four are updating and the update schedules of those can be generously described as sporadic. There can be two updates in a week and then eight months until the next one. The niche sites no longer update. The medium-sized site, called Premium Pass also doesn’t update. The mega-site, Premium Vids, updates with a new DVD being added almost daily. That sounds okay doesn’t it?
But maybe not. I haven’t been a member at Pornstar Network in a while, but having had a membership at PSN a couple of years ago I was immediately struck that Premium Vids is exactly the same as PSN. Comparing the PSN tour pages to PV shows that PSN says they have a lot more videos though, but that may be a result of PSN requiring an upgrade to access all their videos. This is just speculation, but maybe PSN minus the upgrade-required vids equals Premium Vids.
If that isn't a big enough issue, the mega-site relies heavily, and perhaps exclusively, on lower-tier studios with unknown models. Many of these are also very old so the video quality is pretty bad too.
I did check the video quality on some of the later updates on the pornstar sites and those are not bad at 1280x720. I suspect the proportion of videos with that resolution is quite low.
I can’t say for certain, but a lot of the videos on the pornstar sites seem to be exclusive (with the possible exception of Pornstar Network).
Perhaps the strangest thing I experienced with this site is that as an avid porn collector I downloaded exactly zero videos from this site (other than a couple of samples to check resolutions – which were then deleted). This occurs so rarely that I’m not even sure if it has happened to me.
So would I recommend this site? Only to a narrow group of collectors who find that a favorite model has some scenes here and he just has to get them. Other than that I’d stay away from this site. It’s mostly a collection of older videos, many of them from low-grade studios with unknown models. If you have $20 to spend on a porn membership you can do a lot better than this.
I think high praise of a site is to tell readers that I liked it so much that’s I’ll definitely be rejoining it again. In this case, it’s fair to say that I’ll never join Premium Pass again.
(Luckily, cancelling my membership was easy.) |
