| Pros: |
- Lots of DVDs available, although some are older and lower quality
- Two quality levels, but only wmv
- No DRM
- TBP discounted price |
| Cons: |
- Unreliable updates: there is an update clock, but it doesn't reflect actual updates; updates are erratic and vary from 0-2 DVDs per day
- Actress names should be assigned by scene and not by DVD. Often the screencaps are too small to figure out who is in what scene
- It would help if file names reflected the movie titles
- Some scenes, despite being downloaded at the high quality level, are very poor quality
- Download speeds varied wildly: as fast as 1MB/sec down to less than 50KB/sec |
| Bottom Line: |
For a giant DVD repository, DVD Box is pretty good. It has a few flaws, such as the unreliable updates and the poor searching for actresses or movies. Also, the quality of the movies (in terms of content) varies wildly from one DVD to the next. There is also a large focus on fetish (latex, primarily) and gay films so that may be a turn-off for some members.
However, despite those reservations, the site is a good deal. I would only join for a month so that I can peruse the collection and download the scenes that I want. Thankfully, there is no DRM, so I can keep the downloaded movies as long as I want. I have found, though, that I usually delete the scenes I download from DVD Box after I watch them, unlike from VideoBox, where I find myself archiving a lot of scenes.
I guess that comparison is inevitable: VideoBox is the 500 lb. gorilla of the DVD archive sites. When I compare DVD Box to VideoBox, I prefer VideoBox for its more frequent updates and newer titles. However, DVD Box does include more fetish and "off-the beaten path" movies. It's good for a change of pace. Therefore, I recommend that you give DVD Box a try. |
