I'm well into my membership now (I'll post a full review soon) and I may have jumped the gun a bit in saying the pricing problem is fixed. There are scenes marked as "extra" and those are all now available, assuming that it was these that weren't available before. What isn't available still are any scenes labeled as part of "Moviez." Acess to Moviez will cost you an additional $30. It appears that well over half of the material on the site is only available with the additional fee. This site is huge, so just paying the initial $20 fee is still worth it, but it is frustrating to not have access to all of the content. There is also no way (that I can find) to filter the extra content out. There are also some studios where 100% of there content is only available for the extra fee. Some may argue that this is the same thing that Videobox does, but I don't agree. Videobox charges $5 less for the initial subscription, and the two add-on sites are specific studios. Brain Pass / Pornstar Network doesn't have such a clear distinction, and the additional access is far more expensive than the additional content at VB. Also, you can filter out the additional content on VB.
TBP just did a review of Brain Pass / PornStar Network and they seem to suggest that the problem is fixed. Spencer wrote that “Their join process for normal people can be a little confusing as they have a free account, a paid account, and then a VIP upgrade option. To get the best, you'd spend $60 a month here. However, if you join through our site by clicking their link, you can get in for $20 a month, and access to the whole shebang, saving you $40 a month. This deal is exclusive to our site, and is pretty awesome.” I joined after the pricing issue was resolved and I don’t have access to the whole site. If I open a site available only through Moviez I get the requirement to spend an additional $30. I've submitted an error report and will see what they say when they get back to the site after Christmas.
This is still a great site, but the pricing model is a bit frustrating.
In his reply to jpg386's comment about additional costs on Brain Pass / Pornstar Network, PU staff Vegas Ken said he was told by website staff that the problem is fixed. I'm several days into a membership and can report that what the staff told Vegas Ken is true. There are still some movies that are newer release that require a membership to Moviez, but all the titles labelled "extra" are now available for download.
Many thanks to PU Staff for looking out for us and exerting some influence over a great site.
I spoke with a fellow PU member over the weekend who had originally warned me about this problem. I called to tell him that it was reported fixed but he said his membership ran out a few days before the fix was made. :-( I hope there aren't too many of us in that circumstance.
You cannot download videos unless you pay an extra $30
You can view online but you cannot download videos unless you pay an extra $30 per month for an add on membership - that's in addition to the regular membership fee of $20 per month. I was a member of this site on a few prior occasions and there was no extra fee to download, but there is now. The net effect of this, at least if you want to download videos, is the real monthly subscription fee is $50 not the $20 mentioned in TBP review.
I recently re-joined this network and I'd like to give a few quick updates as to what has changed. Not enough to warrant a second review, and many of my previous points about this particular site still stand. If you don't enjoy the Woodman style of video where most of the scene is spent talking, often in a foreign language, then this site is not for you (the rest of the network maybe but not this site)
-The number of videos has gone up to 271 and most of the new ones are available in a decent quality (most are 720x480)
-Some of the scene are also available on Woodman's site Woodmancastingx, but this site has more of the scenes with an interview and then a scene from a hardcore movie in one.
-Most videos still look like they were made in the 70's (the colors have a funky tint to them)
-Navigation still sucks except this time they also link you to videos that need an account upgrade to download...
So overall not much changed, but there is more of the good old stuff, cute girls (check out Jennifer Stone she is smoking hot) and anal hardcore scenes. A lot of talking and navigation issues still keep the site down, but overall it's still decent for fans of casting scenes
imo the videos are at maximum semi exclusive. some of the videos are seen on other pages to. anyway don`t know where and don`t know which one produced that video first :o)
at least..folks it`S time for a REAL gianna site ^^...i will proudly be the first member :)
It's a shame, the content for the most part looks very solid. That being said, dont sign up through them. Their biller is crap, it popped up as fraud by my card company and for good reasons, turns out when I tried to join, they took my card and charged it for sites I never agreed to join. Up to 4 other sites with the total nearing $100.
Until this site gets a reputable biller like Epoch or CCbill, stay the hell away. Nothing but a pain in the ass to deal with!!!
Don't do it. I typically don't subscribe to any trials not verified as full trial by thebestporn.com, but I was curious about elegant angel's. since its a relatively new site. First, they dont tell you the limitations of the trial until after you pay. You are directed to a trial members area only. You get to preview 5 scenes. The preview consists of the first 5 minutes of a scene. Of course, the action hasn't started(and even if if did, what good is 5 minutes?)
Second, the site uses multiple billers. Of course, the biller that I was billed by is not one of the options on the automated billing page. So it takes additional effort to cancel your trial. A shameless attempt to discourage you or inconvenience you in hopes that you dont cancel and get charged $39.95.
In addition, there is a premarked sales for something called extramovies....again, they try to be slick, the sentence starts with the usual disclaimer about age and adult material but is really a prechecked sale for another site which rebills at $39.95. If you dont read carefully, you think you clicked the age acknowledgement but in reality signed up for a site you didnt want.
Ok, I took a chance. It's only 3 bucks, but I feel so cheated. Slimeballs at this site. All people ask for is honesty. They say you get what you pay for, well, even for $2.95, I feel cheated....badly!!!
Free tour promises the whole Elegant Angel catalog plus new releases added as soon as they hit the streets.
I'm not a member so I can't confirm but what I see is that they haven't added a single DVD to the free tour since the site was first listed about a month ago. Recent DVD releases from Elegant Angel seem to have been piling up in the Coming Soon category instead.
Popular stars in Full HD at less than 20 USD looked great but these apparent lack of updates, the various access problems reported and the abundance of compilations in the catalog kind of cooled me off.
Quite excited about the content to the site, but was charged twice in joining, then they deactivated my account a couple of hours after I got the email confirmation. Haven't received refund for deactivation or getting charged a 2nd time, though customer service is very accessible and so far, been pretty helpful. Hopefully will get resolved in the next couple of days and will updated this comment.
UPDATE: Alright, things got settled fairly and with good support... not sure exactly what happened so just watch your bill and make sure you get an email confirmation when you join up.

"Okay so after a very productive and fun meeting here in Canada I'm happy to say that I will begin shooting new scenes exclusively for Club Sapphic, called "Nica Loves Girls!" It will consist of full g/g scenes of me and a new girl each update (one a month to start, then moving up to 2 a month and possibly one a week if I can find enough chicks to have sex with me! LOL) So I need to start getting requests about who you'd like to see me with. I want to do another scene with Satine and with Darla Crane and Michelle Lay!! And Sara Stone for sure!!! Can you guys tell me who you'd like to see me with?"
11-27-2009
"I start shooting this month, so we should have my new series up by the end of this month or first thing in January. I can't wait, too!!!"

"Nica and Magdalene, coming right up. I have a little list of ladies I'm compiling: Maggie, Melissa Monet, Darla Crane, Sara Stone, Nyomi Banxxx, Nicole Ray... just to name a few. I am SO EXCITED about this!"
Have been a member now for almost a month, and love the site. However, no updtaes have been made since 15th October and next update planned is not until November, and then only weekly.
If this update frequency continues it will make the site a lot less attractive.
I was just looking at this site the other day and I'm glad to see a review. However does anyone know how many videos there are on the site? How many photosets and what download speeds are we talking about here?
I basically would like some more technical details if anyone has them.... Thanks
Does anyone know if any download managers work
with this network. I just joined and I'm getting
speeds around 80KB/sec. I usually get between
350-500KB/sec. This is unacceptable and it ruins
a great network when it's such a time wasting
exercise to get the scenes. Thanks
When first joining this site, i wasn't aware that it was so much more than Lex Steele aswell. I joined to get access to those interracial movies since i have always liked them and wanted to get the whole collection, but what isn't informed on any review site i've seen is that it is part of a network called PornstarNetwork, and this is one of the best ones around. A collected series of Lex Steele's movies are included, aswell are sites like Load My Mouth, Cover My Face and Sperm Cocktails with Brandon Iron as the man behind them. Big Wet Asses and Pornstars Analyzed are also included, which are two of the best quality sites i've seen. Not alot of content on those two, but quality all the way. Overall there is alot of content, with an entire archive of Pornstar Network videos which is huge. Networks are good in general, but this one holds one of the highest standards i've seen. Good navigation, daily updates (7-10 scenes) and just a joy to use. A one month membership is just right aswell, there's way too much to see for the trial (which doesn't include full access by the way, just a preview of the material) so check this one out.
Most likely temporary, but VideoBox is offering a cross-sale $1.00 3-Day Trial to Pornstar Network (which is Brain Pass: meaning Christine Young, Silverstone, Peternorth Club, Doghouse Digital). You can go to the sign-up page and check to see if it is still available. Sweet deal on this cross-sale! No limits on this trial, I downloaded over 15GB's worth of stuff at a very fast speed.

I wish I could remember the sites that have BrunoB content as bonus feeds, but I am 100% sure that BrunoB (and similar sites on the network) are offered as bonus content on other sites which pony up to offer their content as bonus.
If I ever find that site again I will write it here, but it marginalizes the necessity to PAY for this site.
According to a Porn Billy Jan. 5 09 review this site is part of the "Porn Star Network" & when you click on the link for the site it goes to the Brainpass enter page BUT the site isn't listed there. Could a current member check for me? Thanks in advance.
Brandon Iron is solid. He treats chicks like porn sluts to be sure but does not degrade them to the degree that seems to be the trend these days with all the aggressive choking, gagging until eye makeup looks like a sad clown sucking dick trend in reality and POV pron today. This site is very cool for the quick jack. The great thing about the site is the entrance to the pornstar network and the riduculous amount of content available. Site performance and DL speed is good too.
In September, I checked out the site. On the homepage it said there was a special price for today only of $9.95. However, it was nowhere to be found except on that page. I contacted the webmaster Brainpat, who told me the special was only for Wednesdays and it was now Thursday. It WAS listed on the site Thursday morning. I feel that not honoring the price was a ridiculously poor business decision. If I had a customer in my store with money in his hand, wanting to buy from me, I would have honored a reasonable request. After all, I did not put up the special price notice, they did. Telling me that they never had a complaint before is not only hard to believe, but the wrong thing to say to a potential customer. I took that as smug sarcasm.
This networks rating curve went up surely it was a while sense I was a member of BrainPass now. Its clear now I have diffrent view of things then TBP when Its not even near being the best network in my book. Ive always liked networks been a member of BangBros, Naugthy America, Brazzers, Twistys and One of The New sensation network and some others I cant remember the name but this was before I joined this community so I havent reviewed that many of them. Maybee my expectations was High on brainpass and thatS why I got so disepointed on the network. And I missed most of the exclusive vids they ad when there much content that isnt exclusive so how they can advertised most content is exclusive. When I was member 4/5 of the new updates was found under pornstars network in date order. No I definetly didnt think it would get a boost in the rate-curve
I was a member over a year ago, and still haven't watched everything!
Good:
- Lots of great older (by my jaded standards) video
- Lots of PN CS
- Some of the best stuff is the Pickup Lines series
- Tons of content - I was a member for a couple of months over a year ago, and I still haven't gone through everything
- Um, there's a facial or two [thousand] here
Not so much:
- There's way better video quality lately, but these ain't bad
- Not PN in his prime, but still!
- Recent posts say they're not updating anymore
- Watermark in the corner of every scene continuously (yuk)
- repetitive (or dependably consistent, its all in how you look at it!) content
I was just going through some of the content I had from when I was a member, and thought I'd post... If you have never joined, I think it's well worth it for a month, if only for all the Peter North series and Pick Up Lines (there's lots more too). You can only watch so much of it at once, cuz it's so similar, but that's actually OK. The scenes are filmed well (POV) and I've noticed few unattractive girls, and some I'd never seen before (and after Peter got done with them, probly never see again!!). If you like BJs and facials, and have about 20gigs of space available, I recommend it.
