I suscribed a few days ago and the download speed is not as announced. Mostly i have only 200 - 400 kbit/s. Viewing "1Mbit-Downloads" is not possible. Viewing "High-Speed"-Downlaod is only 320x240 Vidoesize with 350kbit.
this is not acceptable for this price.
Right now (and they did this last year), they have an Advent calendar running where each day gets you a free gift (a few minutes, some rewards points, a pre-chosed streaming rental for a week). Last year, I ended up with 2 lifetime rentals and about 30-50 minutes from showing up every day of the calendar. If you're already a member here, I'd suggest going back now, and doing so every day until Christmas.
... but when you need to have a "How to Buy" button on your website you might have made it too complicated.
There seems to be an option to just join the site and donload stuff, but I can't find it. Does anyone have any experience with this site who can offer some advice?
I use this site for their 7-day-download at $9.95. The bitrate is the highest I have found, at 2048kbps, the quality is excellent.
They are in the mid-range price, as far as VOD goes, but the quality of the movies makes them better than other PPV sites.
Some movies have a download and burn to DVD option (XXX 2 Burn), at $24.95 each. For a single DVD it works out the same as buying one and having it delivered, but you don't get the case and cover. For me, I may try this option for select DVDs that I want right away, but the price would hold me back from using it instead of ordering DVDs online for delivery.
Overall the site(s) is very easy to use and download speeds are acceptable. The key feature is the 2Mb bitrate quality on fairly new DVD releases.
I've been buying time on AEBN for at least 3 years and have never had a problem. The streaming videos always download at a good speed with little or no buffering.
I'm guessing the guy who's reporting tech problems would have problems on any VOD site.
I use this for many videos on their 7-day-download plan at $4.95 each. They have some fairly new releases for download, and for under $5 I can watch the movie for a week to see if I want to buy the full DVD later.
Their highest bitrate says 1mb but generally I find that the 1Mb is higher, at around 1.40Mb to 1.55Mb, and it's pretty good quality, although a 2Mb bitrate would put them over the top in their category (VOD).
I use DVD sites that have no DRM as well, but Hot Movies has much more up-to-date movies, whereas other (no DRM) DVD sites mostly have DVDs that are very old and can be found in bargain bins anywhere.
The selection of studios and genres is huge, and I have found that for this type of PPV/VOD site the prices are the best on the internet.
Sign up for ten adult websites at $24.95 and that's $249.50/mo! Buy 10 DVDs? That's almost as much. And that's just TEN movies, or ten sites, sometimes featuring only one girl. Or worse, only one girl doing only one thing (i.e., posing, or using toys, etc).
I usually buy about 120-200 minutes for $14.95-$19.95 (still less than the average adult site) which usually enough minutes for me for 3-4 weeks.
And with that, I can zip from one scene in one video to another video. Without having to either pay for two different adult website membership subscriptions, or buy/rent two different DVDs.
If you "rent" a video at this site in case you want to re-watch a video for a few days, you're still looking at less than what pay adult sites cost or what renting costs.
There might be cheaper VOD sites, but none with this selection.
$34.90 is the most I may have ever spent at HotMovies.com during a certain month. But in that time, I have accessed anywhere from 10 to 20 different titles. Assuming an even mix of DVDs and pay sites, I probably have saved at least $460!
I've done the math. This site is definitely a lot more affordable that has been claimed.
Without a doubt, most sites content and certainly DVDs offer content at much higher quality video than with the 512K streams coming from this site. But it's a GREAT way to test-drive sites for their content, or DVDs you're considering buying.
Majormike mentioned this in passing - Hot Movies is part of a large series of sites all run by the same company. I'm not a fan of streaming, that's just a quirk of mine. I'd rather download a movie and either buy an unlimited time licence or just have unlimited viewing for a set period (normally 7 or 30 days).
I can agree with everyone here who recommends this site for its size. They have an amazing collection. For years I've been trying to find and watch porn that I had in my collection from 1985 to 2000 and this site has helped. If you like porn from that era they have lots there. If they don't have it, it likely isn't their fault. (Like earlier versions of Joey Silvera's "Fashion Sluts" series which appears to have been discontinued by the studio. Bad decision, studio guys.) They do have, though, a large collection of Randy West's Up and Cummers ranging from the very early to the more recent. These have always been favorites of mine and it is great to have access again. And in many cases if it is a title I really want I can buy the licence pretty cheap too.
Download speeds are average. I'm not going to make comment on video quality because I haven't viewed anything really recent, so what I've seen is probably taken from an old VHS tape. But it still very watchable.
Dollar for dollar VOD sites probably don't match big sites like Videobox or American Vice for a preson just building a collection. But for someone with a big collection already this site (and all sister sites) is an excellent way to see some different movies that aren't available.
One issue is DRM. I've always sworn that I would never have anything to do with a site that has DRM. In this case though, I'll make an exception. Hot Movies / Download 2 Own etc probably just agree to the terms set by the studio and if this is the only way I can see certain older videos then I'll live with that. In my opinion, it is still decent value.
I'd highly recommend these sites. they're easy to use and I've never had an issue.
I deposited to this site once or twice and I have to admit they have the best selection of movies that fit my tastes. My tastes run towards reality, not the pseudo-reality some 'reality' sites offer. There are certainly 'production' videos. But there are many truly ametuerish videos of real people having real sex. That is not to say they aren't getting paid for it. But they obviously are not professional actors. And the quality (or lack there-of) of a good home video camera is not at all a turn off to me. It convinces me it is real.
The categorization is great, even including niches you have probably never hear of before.
But the VOD format does not work. I travel and do much of my porn viewing on the road. In spite of the claim of many hotels that they have high speed internet, they don't. So I spend my at-home time collecting videos to view while on the road. VOD won't stream fast enough on the road.
Downloads on Hot Movies, even 7 day downloads, are far too risky. I do not want to spend that kind of cash only to find out the video sucks while on the road. I usually download a few hours of video at a time, and even from the best download sites I will only find a few that really get me motivated. The rest I delete before getting even half way through. That style of viewing is impractical at Hot Movies.
I would gladly pay premium download site prices to be able to download from Hot Movies though.
If all your viewing will be through the convenience of a truly high speed connection this could be an excellent site.
This site sent me a newsletter today that states I signed up for it as part of my account. I have never been on the site, let alone signed up for an account. I hate liars as well as illegal spam.
This comment has been inspired by poll of May 15, 2008 on http://www.pornusers.com/browse_polls.html . For this purpose, I've took 10 completely random sites to see if there are chances they're "unethical".
Results of reviewing non-member area: according to TBP it is a clone of a well-established site, and looks pretty much like expected for such a site. It has everything needed for this kind of site: ability to search clips, purchases of time from $3.95 to $84.95, streaming/rental/download/XXX-to-Burn and so on.
Bottom line: while I'm not being fan of streaming and DRM, if you're ok with it, can be not too bad (especially considering "XXX to Burn" feature). Chances of being unethical are estimated as "very low".
I recently ran into this site a few weeks ago. Some of the sites on here are incredibly hot. To bad these sites don't have thier own website. The only way to see the videos is to buy each one at a time for like a dollar a minute which is ridiculous. You buy 3 videos and thats enough to join a good paysite. The site has mostly fetish material. Each site on here is called a studio or store. My favorites are Bound Christina which is studio 9478, jerky girls studio 2511 , and many more. But the best thing on here is store 2119 which is Mistress Taylor other known as Taylor St. Claire. Her videos are unlike anything I ever saw before. She has Tease and denial ruined and forced orgasms. She plays with a guys dick until hes gonna cum then stops, goes and stops. Eventually when he cums she puts her finger on his piss hole and squeezes hard so the cum wont shoot out as the guy screams in agony. She also does spit humiliation, smothering, trampling, ass and breast worship, and all kinds of humiliation. Theres something so hot about her when she does these things with her huge natural tits, and sexy eyes. Check it out. Since i cant use hyperlinks, just type in www dot clips4sale dot com / store / 2119.
Didn't think this site was going to be added to PU, since it is not a traditional "monthly membership" site. Essentially, anyone can set up a shop here and sell clips at any price they set. Of course the prices are high cause they have very little market tools, most are not really business people, and both the credit card processor and C4S take out a percentage from each sale. I have bought a couple of clips from here. It is a toss-up really. Some content is old and out-of-date. Some is HD. Mostly fetishes, but some have regular content. I question the legality of some stores' content as it seems like some are just reselling older copyrighted content that they [the clip studio owners] may not hold the license or ownership too...
Other than that this site could certainly use a make-over. Focusing on all categories instead of just fetish would be nice as well and I H-A-T-E that you cannot add clips from separate studios to the same shopping cart. To buy clips from separate studios you have to buy from one (eg pay for) then another (eg pay again). Why cant I add studio 1's x clip and studio 2's y clip to the cart and pay for both at the same time? Unfortunately many credit card companies block repeated charges from the same company in one day preventing purchases from multiple studios.
Don't click the links in Tao's post. I tried one and was greeted with a warning window that wouldn't go away. Something about no certificate or something, choice to accept or reject. No matter what you click, the window pops back up. Had to use control-alt-delete to exit. Sorry for the vagueness. I'm no techy.
I've never had any problem at clips 4 sale before, and I've downloaded several clips from there.
Just in case anyone else is interested in ordering custom videos, I thought I would share my experiences with some of the stores on Clips4Sale.
EXCELLENT
Domme Jayne - Fantastic. Ordered several videos. Good turnaround time, understood my fetish and gave me exactly what I asked for. Video in HD.
Bratty Princess Lisa - Awesome. Bought props (stun gun, syringe) for video at no extra charge. Was very responsive via e-mail to changes and asked questions about what I wanted.
VERY GOOD
Randy Moore - High production values, very creative, and what a looker!
Latinass Locas - Fast turnaround and very creative.
Mina Thorne - Very professional, gave me exactly what I asked for.
Princess Fierce - My first custom video. Excellent content, video quality itself could have been better.
Ashley Sinclair & Friends - High quality, fast turnaround, good content.
OKAY
Mandy Flores - serious technical problems with the video. Long wait. Didn't offer to re-do it.
Missa - Not a bad but didn't really give me what I asked for.
Ballerina Gone Bad - Didn't get what I wanted and did things I specifically asked her not to.
Monique Stranger - Video was kinda repetitive.
Sarah Blake - Very repetitive, not very imaginative video.
Bratty Jamie - Absolutely terrible. Made no sense at all. I think she must have been high.
TERRIBLE - DO NOT SEND MONEY
Miss Nyla - Took my money and made repeated claims that she would send the video soon. 7 weeks and counting, still no video.
Layla Aubrey - took my money, no video. Repeated e-mails have gone unanswered for around 7 weeks.
I use this for many videos on their 7-day-download plan at $4.95 each. They have some fairly new releases for download, and for under $5 I can watch the movie for a week to see if I want to buy the full DVD later.

Kink.com is running a promotion. You get a free scene this month for joining their newsletter. Defiantly worth it. There are sales pitches sent to you're email - but kink is certainly no spammer
This site looks to fill a big niche and could easily become very very popular. However, I've been browsing the site for the last half hour, and it just looks a mess. The navigation is atrocious, there are no previews of vids (unless you buy a membership; defeating the whole purpose of having a preview), and the prices seem extortionate. Why would I spend about $20 for each movie clip (again, with no real previews) when I could join another site and get access to everything they have for that price?
Someone else in the industry should really learn from this site. They could have less than half the content in this niche, but design their website better and have standard memberships instead of the Pay-per-view crap. They would make a fortune!
I have been buying their movies before there was a Bound Heat. In the good old days some of them ( Dark Confessions, Chained Heat 2 and Bound Cargo for example) were available at Blockbuster.
Ergo,in the 21st Century these movies (and of course the more then 20 new ones) could never play in the "mainstream" media, for that they are too controversial, sexy and kinky. Too bad for those who did not find these on the web yet.
The trailers show exactly what you will see in the movies ( and they are real movies not porn clips).The download works suberbly and the movies are in high DVD quality for the purchase option and just a bit smaller for the 48h rental version. They also have a DVD order page. The tech support is also friendly and fast.
Also, to correct the description at the top of this page categorizing Bound heat as only pay per view (PPV) with 48 h access:
1)PPV 48 h rental, YES
2)PPV permanent purchase ( on your HD forever), YES
3)DVD purchase available, YES
4) The site is NOT a membership site and has unlimited access to all galleries and trailers. You only pay to get a movie.
I just noticed, so I thought I would flag it up for those that are interested.
The 40% Discount on the daily sale item I mentioned in my review has now been increased to 55%
Whilst I am here, I may as well mention that there is a fairly substantial update to the program imminent, which should improve customisability & functionality significantly.
I'll let you know more on that after the update.
As I said in my review, if this style of game appeals, it is worth a look.
IMO one of the best, if not the best out there.
Regulars will know I am not one to give praise lightly! ;0)
