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.
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.
PSN Made Fraudulent Charges to My Credit Card Under Bogus Names
After joining PORNSTARNETWORK.COM back in June they signed me up for two additional sites I didn't want tripling my bill, charging my credit card under different names not present on the list of billing processors in their Terms & Conditions, continued charging me after I cancelled my account in August, and are now hiding behind a 90 day policy to justify not refunding my money for services unused as well as unwanted from June through September for a total of $245.50.
How did this happen?
PORNSTARNETWORK.COM sneaks a little pre-checked checkbox with a trial promotion for EXTRAMOVIEZ.COM onto the billing form right before you finish your order. According to them that is how I got signed up for that one, but it doesn't account for the second site AMATEURNETWORK.CA that I couldn't find a single checkbox promotion about on any of the PORNSTARNETWORK.COM partner site sign up forms.
Why Didn't I Notice?
Like most people with a steady income I didn't think anything was wrong until the fraudulent charges took their toll and I thought something was not right with my account last week. I also didn't notice because when I signed up their Terms and Conditions said "All charges will discreetly appear as PSNSupport, PSNBilling.com, EPOCH or CCBILL on your credit card statement depending on the processor" and they charged me for the other sites by opening up different accounts that billed my credit card separately as SUPPORTMEMBERS.COM and HELPONLINESUPPORT.COM without my knowledge or permission.
My bank ended up being useless because they refused to look at the evidence I prepared for them electing instead to have someone from the fraud department interview each of us over the phone. The bank said that I needed confirmation that I cancelled the additional accounts individually, but of course I couldn't provide that because it is impossible to cancel accounts that you don't know about to begin with. Then things just went downhill from there because I got a bit confrontational with the bank staff, so I stormed out of there because it looked like they were going to call the police as an alternative to reversing the charges as demanded. I might try the bank again once I calm down a bit, but PORNSTARNETWORK.COM is responsible for this ripoff not the bank.
I don't see how this site warrants the high rating - yes, the site have tons of stuff but loads of it is ancient, five or ten years old. Its like a museum of early internet porn. There's just no way this site is better than Reality Kings, Evil Angel, Brazzers or tens of other sites with constant updates or really high quality vids and pics that people actually want to see.
first if this site is same with brain pass, why does it have 90 and this one 93? second if many of the sites have not been updated for a long time, how do you give such a high score?
Can't see from the faq that any download managers are supported. Have tried a few, but no one has worked so far. Signed up a couple of days ago, and will probably cancel my subscription very soon, since I don't have the time / internet connection speed to go thru with right click save as on every singel movie file I want. Takes to much time.
*Update*
Talked to support. Download Managers are NOT supported.
Funny. When I joined, I was in Canada on business for a few weeks. I used my credit card and they got my money. But when I tried to log on, I was refused because I was in Canada. PSNbilling.com and pornstarnetwork.com both refuse to issue a refund on my credit card. Good thing European sites don't block off Americans. Another perfect example why the porn industry is shooting itself in the foot and why people still download illegally.
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.
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.
Against my better judgement I tried this site again after last joining in 2010. After reading the bad reviews on multiple sites and my own experience with them a few months ago I signed up for just the basic monthly membership for $29.95 using the secondary billing (CC Bill) trick after reading the credit card fraud warnings. After less then 10 hours the site kicked me out, I thought I hit a download limit but after 24 hours still no access. I contacted the the website support (Jessica) and after repeatedly explaining the problem she then gives me another useless login that doesn't work and disconnects before I can even enter it. Now here is the kicker, I restarted the chat with can't login, disconnected without reply. Tried 4 more times with the same result. The Site is a ridiculous, there hasn't been a update to their site in years, It's all marked MOVIESZ, so save your money and sign up to VIDEOSZ which is where this content comes from.
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.
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.
Sounds like more than a few folks have had some problems with this site. However my last experience with Pornstar Network was pretty good. Nice mix of exclusive and non-exclusive (DVD) material. Price is decent. Navigation has some issues but overall better than most. Easy to cancel.
I just joined this network a few minutes ago and got the $19.95 discounted price offered through TBP / PU. I have an email confirmation of that. I accessed the site to see this: “You currently have a Free Limited Membership. This gives you access to a limited streaming time of each video. To download full videos or get access to all streaming videos, you need a full membership.” That, obviously, costs more money. I emailed the site support staff and asked for clarification. I’ll report back when I have an answer but for now I’d avoid this site as you might have the same problem.
The last time I joined here I had a membership problem too. There seems to be a problem in the way their site ‘sees’ the TBP discount.
It seems that every time I click on the members' log-in, for the first time on any given day, I get redirected to a page called Pornstar Network REVIEWS. I can't even use the back button of my browser to try again but have to close the tab, go back to home, then to my bookmarks and do the log-in over again .. and this time it will work. First time - redirect, second time - success! This does not look like a mistake, but looks more like someone's plan to make me subscribe to another site through Pornstar Network. Maybe the webmaster can correct me on this.
Downloading of Moviez package is not granted (anymore?)
Hi all,
after i have sent an email to Cindy, everthing works fine including the moviez package!
I will leave my original comment as this shows that this site really cares about their customers!
Original comment:
Just joined the site and right away disappointed... as the Moviez package is not included for downloading.
I joined using the tbp link, which should include "the Moviez package ($59.95/mo), which gets you unlimited downloads to all sites."
But obviously this is not true anymore!
I wrote an email to support stating that i joined via tbp, but reply was:
"All current and new members of PSN and all the sub-sites will have access to a portion of ExtraMoviez. You will be able to see all videos in flash streaming without paying more.
In order to have access to DOWNLOAD movies that are tagged as ExtraMoviez, the customer will need to become a member to this particular site. This is an additional charge to your current PSN membership."
So be warned if you are keen on downloading the moviez package!
Bad enough that it seems the majority of the videos now show up with the message "upsellplus.php" where the "upgrade" is $29.99 for 30 days... but even the "low resolution" 1500kbs per second yield the same upsell message. OK so it costs 19.99 to join but then another 29.99 for the better videos??? What the ell!
Example: "Lexi Bell" searched under the term "Porn Stars" shows 60 results. After clicking the first 10 videos all of them with the upsellplus message (both 2500kbs and 1500kbs) its obvious the people running this site have an issue telling the difference between smart business practices and greed.
This site isn't secure so be cautious when joining
Wanted to join here but noticed the http: didn't show as secure and found the security info said unsecure site and not recommended to send any sensitive info over.
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
I was a member when this site first opened and the few videos they had up were excellent. There just wasn't that much content on their site. It's probably been a year so I may have to rejoin to see what they've added in order to give a good review. You can get access to this site by joining Club Peter North as this is in the network. I think that is where I found it originally.
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.
