| Pros: |
- Hustler, in my mind, the greatest name in hardcore porn.
- Huge site/network. I've seen some content as far back as the 80s, including the legendary, "Deep Inside Vanessa Del Rio".
- Hustler magazine pictorials to look at or download.
- Updates once or twice per week with a full DVD, it varies, so there's no way to put a set number on it or set frequency.
- Beaver Hunt category! My favorite section of Hustler magazine.
- Good download speeds, roughly 70% of my max speed. |
| Cons: |
- A couple of my pros are actually not what they claim to be. Trust me, I'll go into in the BL.
- Video quality is below average at best.
- I once rated this "network" an 80, in 2007, here on PU. My average score is an 85.
- I thought, based on many of the professional reviews, that Hustler had got their site together and improved it. I thought wrong and wonder why it scored so highly in professional reviews. Not looking at that can of worms with a can opener.
- It's not a network. It's a DVD site that puts content, based on category, into a separate category that they so happen to call a different site. |
| Bottom Line: |
Back when I first discovered porn it was a random VHS tape belonging to my uncle. I later found a whole stack of Playboy magazines under his bed. I'm sure I liked them and thought I had found a gold mine. Then, one day, I found a Hustler magazine in his room. I used multiple loud adjectives as I looked through the pages. So much nakedness, girls with fingers stuck in places, it was far greater than anything I had seen before.
When I turned 18, I had been psyching myself up to go to the local gas station and buy a brand new copy of Hustler. It then became a monthly habit. The rush, as I've told a few times, was maybe even greater than the magazine. This made Hustler my absolute favorite name in hardcore porn. And like most men who bought Playboy or Penthouse, I also read every story in Hustler. The jokes were tasteless and hilarious. Then there was the "Beaver Hunt" section of the magazine. It had used-submitted photos in it. Hustler would then pick the best one and give them a money prize. It had the dirty stories in it. Some seriously interesting political stories.
So, a few weeks ago, I thought I would join Hustler's website. It had been 9 years since I joined it. From everything I've read it's improved greatly since then. I joined ... and reality hit, buyer's remorse hit and my first "bad" review in a long time is now being posted.
First, in the categories is "Beaver Hunt". I click on it, it's DVDs from the Barely Legal series. It's not a bad series. It's also not "Beaver Hunt". I was honestly expecting user-submitted photos.
I then clicked on "Magz". I'm going to get to view all the digital issues of all Hustler magazines, right? Wrong. They only go back to 2007. Now hell, if you can put 1986's Deep Inside Vanessa Del Rio DVD on here, you can damn sure put the old magazines on here. It gets worse. No Beaver Hunt in the magazines that I could access. No joke section. No articles. Instead, a handful of pictorials from each magazine with 12-15 photos from each pictorial.
I cleared my head and decided to make the most out of what was quickly becoming the most disappointing porn site I have joined in years. I downloaded a few videos featuring models I like. They were okay, but were a bit blurry/fuzzy. Now these are newer models (Nicole Aniston, Veronica Rodriguez), maybe not "newer", but newer than Vanessa Del Rio. I look at the properties on the videos and see 960x540 resolution. These were downloaded from the "super quality" link. I go back to the available sites and enter "Hustler HD". Download the newest video available, it's 960x540. What the hell? It says HD in the name! I admit, I don't follow the resolution wars of porn, I prefer 720p and consider it the lowest level of HD. So my standards aren't the problem here. I can't imagine what someone wanting 1080p or 4K would think of 960x540 being listed as HD.
Disappointment continued, I went through every site on their "network" and downloaded the newest video they have. Not a single one had a video over 960x540. I stand slightly corrected by myself. I just found one DVD with 720p scenes on it, it's of Asa Akira.
Here's my roundup at this point:
Beaver Hunt "site" is not Beaver Hunt. It's Barely Legal DVDs.
The magazines aren't magazines. They are 4-5 pictorials from each magazine.
The high quality videos are below average 960x540 quality. Including the ones on the "site" Hustler HD.
But wait... there is a hustlermagazine site that says it has all of the magazines in digital form. How do I know? It's advertised on every page of this Hustler site. Now back to the layout. You enter the site into a sort of hub. It shows 19 available sites in the network. A few examples of the names, Beaver Hunt, Daddy Gets Lucky, Asian Fever, those sound like real standalone sites that are part of a network, but in reality, those three are in order ... Barely Legal series, the Daughter series of DVDs, (including Barely Legal again), Asian Fever is their commonly-known DVD series' Teen Thailand and random scenes taken from DVDs that feature Asian models.
The further I looked into this Hustler site I started noticing chances to "upgrade" my membership. There's a problem there, why would I upgrade something that hasn't been the least bit entertaining?
The site needs a complete overhaul. Advertising as Hustler with "magz" should include all magazines and every part of those magazines. Advertising HD video should result in HD video. Neither of those said on the membership join pages, "Must upgrade to receive HD video and full magazines". A new search engine would help. Surely there's some 720p videos on here, but I've yet to find them. A simple search engine with an HD filter would do. It receives a 60 simply because it works and has porn on it with many big name stars. I'm guessing the higher def videos are included in the upgraded membership, again, the upgraded membership is not mentioned or offered when you join. Not recommended. |
