| Pros: |
- Huge archive of 3rd Degree Films. Over 150 DVDs and 1000 scenes.
- Lots of download options: 3 levels of wmv (up to 720x540), Xvid
- Flash-based streaming option available for most videos
- Most vids have no DRM
- Fast downloads compatible with download manager
- Access to Zero Tolerance on Demand (ZTOD) and Black Ice Pass |
| Cons: |
- Some vids still have DRM protection
- Updates are irregular; score dropped 5 points for going more than 2 weeks w/out an update
- Many older videos are ONLY available as streaming with no download option
- Browsing by pornstar name lists the actresses by number of scenes, not in alphabetical order; no option to make it alphabetical
- Organization issues 2: There are a number of scenes with the wrong actress listed |
| Bottom Line: |
This studio site is quite impressive. It features a large collection of DVDs available for download. While a very few movies still have DRM issues, the majority are available to keep on your hard drive, even after your subscription ends.
The fact that the site includes access to 2 other studio sites makes it a better value. 3 studios for $30 is a very reasonable price. Unfortunately, all three studio sites suffer from a very irregular and unpredictable update schedule. Despite claiming that new DVDs appear on the website prior to their release, this was not the case. There were periods of 10 or more days without a new DVD update.
Navigation was a bit strange, as normal conventions, like alphabetical order for pornstars and movie titles, was ignored in favor of listing the number of scenes or the most downloaded movies. Not a huge issue, but it did take some getting used to.
All in all, this is a very nice site. It is good as a break from VideoBox or other DVD sites. I only wish that they would set a more predictable update schedule and/or possibly lower the price. |
