Pros: - 521 DVDs, 2700+ scenes
- Many A-list models
- Typical mainstream porn
- Download and viewing options
- Easy-to-use site layout
- Supports download managers
- TBP discount
Cons: - Hasn’t updated in six months
- Billing issues
- Credit card hack
- Generic file names
Bottom Line: It appears that we may need to observe a moment of silence for a once-great studio. And if they aren't dead they are mortally wounded as they haven’t uploaded any new material in six months. That will hardly fill any prospective members with confidence. But it gets worse! I found the billing and cancelling processes to be deceptive and, perhaps coincidentally I’ll admit, within a short time of joining the site my credit card was hacked.

The Good:

Elegant Angel was once a powerhouse studio in the adult industry. They were a top-quality money-making machine going back many years. While they don’t have much of their back catalogue available here (from the 1990s and 2000s) there is a still a good collection of some great porn here. The available porn dates from the last ten years or so and features some of the biggest stars in the industry at the time each was shot. The site currently has over 2700 scenes on 521 DVDs.

The videos are streamed in two resolutions (no details on those are available) and there are four download options on the newest scenes: 320X180, 720x408, 1280x720 (3500kb/s) and 1920x1080 (8000kb/s). File sizes are reasonable for the two higher resolutions with the 720 files around 1GB and the 1080 files closer to 2GB. The older scenes (depending on when they were filmed) often only have two lower resolution files available.

The site allows download managers and I had no issues with the links timing out too quickly. There is also a great TBP discount offered so if you join be sure to do so through here.

The bad:

There has been nothing added to this site for the last six months. The last videos or pictures date from June 2016. I’ve read that the studio itself is in trouble and if the lack of videos here are any indication those rumours might be true.

Lack of updates in and of themselves isn't necessarily bad, in my opinion. 521 DVDs for $10 is still a great deal for a first-time member. It’s the subsequent rejoins when things become a problem. So the buyer definitely needs to be aware of this issue. (On a related note, the tour pages allow a prospective member to see what’s available with the upload date so there will be an opportunity to see if the site has been resurrected at some point.)

This is a minor complaint, but the site uses generic file names that don’t identify the scene so you’ll need to rename them as necessary as you go along.

The Ugly:

Elegant Angel bills through “psnbilling” and since I’ve signed up and cancelled memberships here before I wasn’t concerned. But this ‘biller’ doesn’t seem to be the actual biller now. When you want to cancel your membership and follow the links on the psnbiller page you end up on a page with several hyperlinks to known billers, such as Epoch. You have to then select who your actual biller was. But guess what? The email from psnbiller doesn’t identify who the actual biller was. No problem, right? Just check them all. I did that and none of those listed billers had any information on my membership. And the charge that showed up on my credit card was for “psnbilling.”

Billing B.S. like this serves no one well in the long run.

The good news is that I don’t really need to worry about cancelling my membership though. Within a short time after signing up to Elegant Angel through psnbilling my credit card was being used for purchases thousands of miles away. Since the card had to be cancelled, cancelling the membership isn't really an issue now.

Admittedly I can’t say for certain that my card was hacked through psnbilling but I hadn’t used the card in five days and then within an hour of signing up the number was being used fraudulently elsewhere. That’s a bit too much of a coincidence for me.

Obviously I can’t recommend anyone joining this site who has been a member in the recent past but given the billing issues and the rather coincidental credit card hack I’m not willing to recommend this site to anyone any longer. If the billing and security issues were resolved I’d certainly recommend the site to someone who’d never been a member before but unless there was clear evidence of those problems being resolved I’d say stay away. But since the only reply that I got from them regarding my credit card hack was to tell me that they’d rebill me until I cancelled then I’m going to take it that they don’t plan on fixing those problems. But since they caused me to have my credit card cancelled, good luck to them in rebilling.

How the mighty have fallen…

haagar (0) There seems to be a difference between:

1) www.clubelegantangel.com

2) www.elegantangel.com

I discovered recently... the 'club' one seems to not have been updated, yet still take new customers - be aware, people!

More information on the two sites:

1) www.clubelegantangel.com

Allows downloads of videos: many up to full 1080p.

Does add new EA videos, but added months after initial release. For example, "It's A Sister Thing! #1" which was first released Oct 2016 is listed here with date 2017-09-15.

They have the older Mason (Sam No) and William H. titles (which is what I was looking for).

2) www.elegantangel.com

Stream only. No downloads. The only place to get new EA videos. I did not have time to look carefully but I have read that not all older videos are available. For example, under Lily Carter elegantangel.com lists 10 titles while clubelegantangel.com lists 12: "Just Tease #4" and the extended "Wasteland" are not listed on elegantangel.com.


Please note the above information is from the free tour of both sites. I have not yet looked inside as a member. I will probably sign up for clubelegantangel.com as they have downloads and I am mostly only interested in completing my collection of older titles.

I hope this helps anyone who is trying to decide between the two.

I really wish EA had not split their catalog. The other major studios all allow full downloads. Downloads are important to get full HD at decent bitrates (streaming is too variable and auto-degrades when the network is busy).

With the popularity of Netflix and other TV/movie streaming, my ISP is heavily congested in the evenings when everyone is watching their shows. I need to be able to download my videos during the quiet time from midnight to 8am. I wake up and viola there's my porn. :-)

My pleasure.

Thank you for the welcoming.

I would describe myself as a bit old-fashioned in that I was happy with DVDs. However, two things have changed: I now have a larger TV which shows the limits of DVD resolution. And the local adult shops have all reduced their DVD selections.

It's clear that online is the way to go. I don't have a particular preference for a studio but follow directors and performers. Which means that I am currently researching the online sites and will probably try out a different one a month at a time. PU is very valuable for its information, The comments sections are impressive and PU looks like a great online community. I think I'll be a regular.

One of the big advantages that TBP/PU has is that you get the 'professional' side of things, TBP, which can list new sites and give some great information on sites. But then on the PU side you often get a deep dive into a site that normally takes more time than the professional reviewers could devote to a site. For example, I've found download limits because as a user I probably download a lot more than a professional reviewer would. Having both views is the real value here. If any site has a real flaw it’s likely that someone here has found it.

And one of the most widespread flaws is the sneaky extra billing!

This was already selected on when trying to join [ignore]clubelegantangel.com[/ignore]:

"I agree to the purchase of adult-oriented material and would like to take advantage of the following promotional offer: $2.95 two-day Trial membership *** to extramoviez.com which features thousands of videos from the top studios in the world.

*** Trial membership will recur at $29.95 every 30 days unless cancelled."

This is quite deceptive as I could imagine people reading the first part and think it's just a standard agreement, and then wonder why they've been billed double.

Buyer beware!
