| Pros: |
Over 2800 exclusive scenes downloadable in multiple formats (up to 720p wmv files for new members)
Decent/occasionally good customer service |
| Cons: |
Keep 1080p only for "elite" members (or those who are willing to pay on a per-scene basis) and don't make note of that anywhere before you join.
For such a large network, the content is very repetitive (easily the most repetitive out of all the large networks I've been to).
Pre-checked cross-sell on signup.
Site navagation could be much better.
Pics are not very large (533x800px if I remember correctly, but definitely not much larger than that).
They seem to have more billing issues than most major (and trusted) websites
Some older scenes with pages up, but no videos there (so no way to view videos) |
| Bottom Line: |
The dilemma I face with grading Brazzers is something I think is a little interesting. The basic question is: How do you grade a company that puts out good content regularly but engages in business practices that are at best greedy and at worst intentionally deceptive? To me, the answer is that you talk about them both, and let the person reading it make up their own minds about it.
As far as their content goes, it is among the upper echelon of network sites. They put out about 15-17 updates a week, in multiple formats all the way up to 1080p. They very recently allowed access to the 720p files for all members, but 1080p still requires you to either pay extra or be a member for an extended period of time. I can't judge how well it looks, because I don't have a computer beefy enough to run it, but I have heard good things. As far as the actual content inside the scenes, it's about what you would expect from mainstream porn. There's a thread on this site about the roughness that is becoming prevalent in porn, and that can definitely be seen creeping into the scenes on this site. In fact, they just debuted a site that is specifically dedicated to rough sex in "Pornstar Punishment". The content also suffers from another problem that many online networks face, which is that the content isn't very original, so after you've seen a few scenes from each "site", it seems like you've seen them all. The pictures are there, and there are a bunch of them, but they aren't very high-res (533x800), and to be honest, there are large groups of pictures that show basically the same thing, like no one took the time to prune though the set at all. Some people may like this, I find it a little annoying.
The website navagation is okay, but it leaves something to be desired. There are tags, but there aren't as extensive as they could be. There is a model list, but it isn't very easy or welcoming for just browsing through all the models. I might argue that navigating through models is easier on the tour page than it is on the member page, which should never be the case. The search bar works, but only for girls and scene names. The scene pages look a little cluttered, with a little too much content/information filling up the bottom of the page. And while it's easy to find out who the female talent is from the scene page, figuring out the male talent is a good deal harder, especially if you don't know them by look.
Now, as far as their business practices. The first thing, and I think it's the easiest and biggest one to harp on, is the HD content. It doesn't say anywhere that it doesn't come with the regular membership until you actually become a member. They've slightly remedied this by allowing access to the 720p content, but they still advertise the 1080p, which you can't get without the strings attached. There's also a pre-checked cross sell, which basically automatically reduces 5 points from the score of any site that has it. (continued in replies) |

| Pros: |
Good selection of videos with a wide range of niches to suit every desire.
Good quality format (on newer videos)
Easy site navigation.
User Forum.
Price. |
| Cons: |
Customer care is sh#t.
Old videos terrible quality.
'Brazzers vault' videos seem to take a day to download because it's soo slow (why???).
Constant spam in my email box. |
| Bottom Line: |
The videos are good (even though they seem to use uk porn star keiran lee in nearly all the shoots, maybe they have shares in him?!). The site is easy to access. Plenty of choice for every taste (bar extreme fetish). Unfortunately no matter how good the site is the people behind it are crooks. Bad news is the customer care is REALLY SH#T. The payment processor manstermed.com give away your card details to its affiliates who then take money from you from sites you've never heard of. Complete thieves. Join using a credit card if you must. Oh and have a good spam filter on your supplied email because you WILL recieve lots long after you've left them. Its on this basis that i can only award it 50 out of 100. Shame. |

| Pros: |
++ surprisingly good "script play" by porn models
++ very good lighting
++ very good cameraguy work
++ very good locations
+ big network
+ reasonable variety even without single site
+ good SD video quality
+ frequent updates |
| Cons: |
----- Outright cheating about HD right from the home page
--- pre-checked cross-sales
- somewhat overgrown recent SD video files (2.3Mbit/s for 768x432). |
| Bottom Line: |
I would like to say that Brazzers could be one of the networks to wish for as a Christmas present :-), if not for what I consider CHEATING their own users :-(.
On the surface they look as just one of the many networks (most of which are poor-quality and boooring), but if going inside, it seems that Brazzers do everything (except for ONE thing) just a bit better, and it makes a BIG difference.
Video quality is VISIBLY better then usual, models are a BIT better then usual, locations and lighting/cameraguy work are EXCELLENT. They even managed to add some variety to their sites, and make models play scripts in quite believable way. From technical point of view, while I don't think that 2.3MBit/s is what really required for their recent 768x432 videos, but IMHO there is nothing TOO bad about it.
Overall, quality is excellent, amount of material is enormous, updates are frequent, and there is some additional twist is added by locations and scripts. What else could you can wish for? Just one thing - that they would not CHEAT on their own users. And when you click on their home page a big sign which says "Join now and embrace the future with the best HD experience", you get to "Join" page with prices, pay, and only THEN figure out that HD they've promised you pon home page is EXTRA which you need to PAY FOR (so-called "Brazzers Credits"). The more I think about it, the more it looks as CHEATING for me.
As a result, while their productions team is second to none, and I would like to put a 90 mark for them, I feel compelled to deduct 5 points for PRE-CHECKED cross-sales, and another 10 - for this CHEATING with HD, so it makes 75 now.
IF they will at least TELL UPFRONT that HD is EXTRA, I would still rant how bad this practice is, but at least it will be fair warning for the users, and I will be happy to remove those deductions I've mentioned above.
P.S. What I would wish for a Christmas present: if Brazzers would keep their excellent production team but will fire their over-aggressive sales team; BTW, I think it would be helpful for the site in the long run, because CHEATING YOUR OWN USERS doesn't usually work long. |

| Pros: |
-Porn with actual little stories that have good camera work, some hot sex, a decent run time, and dialogue.
-A good variety of women from young to cougars. I'd say that they have an emphasis more toward milfs and large breast(quite a few implants).
-Videos can be downloaded in multiple formats as a complete scene or in multiple sections.
-Navigation is user friendly with many different methods to find a certain scene or fetish.
-The surfing inside the site and download speed is very good to excellent.
-Regular updates(about 3 per day).
-The ability to see some of the upcoming updates.
-The price is amazing for all that you get. |
| Cons: |
-too many women with fake breast and a few with some scary sizes.
-They tend to use the same actress all the time.
-The stories are hit and miss with some of the premises not being to everyone's taste
-Some of the navigation highlights don't always match the content inside the scene.
-The comments attached to each scene could use a good moderator. I found the language used in some of them to be lacking in good manners. |
| Bottom Line: |
I've been aware of this site for years but kept putting off joining. I don't know why I didn't join sooner. I was pleasantly pleased with just about everything that this network offers.
I really liked the little stories. There are some that are good and quite afew that are really bad, but not necessarily in the ses as much as the corny dialogue or storyline.
My major complain is all the fake breasts. I prefer small breast but I can enjoy women that have larger breast. It's just that some of the performers have near blimp sized implants.
The male performers seem to come from a small
pool of talent. That is problem if a particular
actor annoys you because the scene is ruined, regardless of how hot the woman is.
They offer HD videos to long term members with
6 months or more. I'm glad for those willing to take the offer but that's not me. Not too mention but HD can be a real downer on some of their performers. I suspect that HD makes your small imperfections much larger. If your main perfomers have breast implants with minor scars well HD can make those scars quite large. |

-New members only get DRM streaming High Definition 720p with membership, so no download access unless you pay extra
-Repetitive/Recycle pornstars, using only big name pornstars with few fresh new talent, thus they recycle Top 25 big name pornstars each month, few new talent
-Brazzers online community/forum not very active
-Staffs do not post much or help in the forum
-Medium Quality WMV has high bitrate than MP4
MPEG4 1100 kbps (768x432)
WMV 2300 kbps (768x432)
-Cross-selling
-1080p only available in WMV not MP4 while 480p is available in WMV & MP4 |

| Pros: |
Clean looking... hot girls, so I gave it a try. |
| Cons: |
Not enough girls or videos. Now I know why they have so many big images, to take up space on the pages. I literally went through all of them in like 2 days.
Movie quality is mediocre and search sucks. |
| Bottom Line: |
I see their ads everywhere so you must think it's got the most, right? NOT!
Also, I've been getting a TON of spam of bullshit porn. My email was ONLY used for this one porn site, now it's flooded with spam after I cancelled.
Crap. |

| Pros: |
+ Content, content, content
+ No DRM on SD, but never got to qualify for downloading HD, to see if they had it.
+ Different DL options WMV, MP4, MP4 portable, MPG1
+ Zips for pics
+ No download limits
+ 2-3 updates a day
+ Decent speed for me, most of the time around 1500kb/s
+/- A semi pro, you can use a DL manager, but the links are timed. |
| Cons: |
- Blatent advertising tricks.
- Landscape pics may have improved, but still not good enough quality for pic horders.
- Is there any actual customer support.
- Still often have some download options or pics sets missing on new updates.
- Billers Netbilling.
- Login/Logout problems.
-/+ A Semi con, mostly big tit pornstars (could be a pro for others) and repetative match ups. |
| Bottom Line: |
Pics - portrait 667x1000, landscape 1300x867
SD vids - 768x443, bitrate 2385 approx
HD - Didn't get that far but, 1080 alledgedly!
Why give the site a fairly decent score, if I didn't like it much? Thats because of the amount of content and updates etc.
Whenever I see the name Bra$$er$ now, I hear the ker-ching sound of a cash register in my mind. Waiting 6 months before you can access the HD movies is a sly trick and site advertising does not show that you have to wait.
I'm not getting duped into sticking around for 6 months or buying poxy credits.
Customer service is an automated email received reply, then nothing else.
They should name the next network site big tits with botox, because a lot of the women seem to be that type of clone. Some stars get a lot more work than others(maybe they give the directors a blow job?) and some of the male/female pornstars are paired together over and over again.
Another thing I didn't like was some scenes seem to have a lot of jibba jabba before actually getting down to business.
As far as I can gather netbilling are not actually conducting the billing, but are renting a billing server to bra$$er$ so they can be in charge of their own billing. Probably another of Bra$$er$ attempts to save money. The cancellation process is rather dramatic, 'are you sure?' 'Its the wost mistake you'll ever make?'or similar etc.
I was expecting the next one to be 'if you cancel, you will instantly die'
I think the worst mistake I will ever make is accidently step out in front of a truck or something. Somehow cancelling bra$$er$ does not quite equal that level of tragedy.
Their site security needs improvment. Just now they have implemented a pin security code in order to buy credits, after members have complained about having their accounts hacked and ended with a large card bill from hackers downloading the HD content by buying credits on their account, without having to further input any payment details or security codes. They should have made sure they had a secure system in place, before enabling this credits scheme, but it seems as if they are more concerned with making money.
You can also buy Bra$$er$ merchandise with the credits, but I didn't want to spend money giving bra$$er$ free advertising.
Never got to download any HD movies, but the SD is not too bad. Nothing to have a song and dance about, but relatively clear.
There is also a members forum, but a quick look at that place was more than enough for me.
I still think it is worth joining, if you havn't joined the site before. For me it goes in the not planning to return bucket, I prefer other reality sites that have a more balanced approach, especially of different tit sizes and ethnics when selecting their pornstars.
This network would be better if they stopped being so greedy. Bra$$er$, greed is a sin. When you get to heaven there will be a big padlock on the gates and God will tell you to GTFO. |

There isn't much that you can't find at Brazzers. |
| Cons: |
- Not Enough Amateurs (of all ages, shapes, and sizes) |
| Bottom Line: |
Have never regretted joining.
Arguably the best site out there. Brazzers not only outdoes itself in regard to the cost but also in content, quantity, and quality. I've had periodic memberships over the past few years and I've never been disappointed. Practically the perfect site for me. The only Con I could think of is in regard to a penchant for interesting and attractive amateur. |

| Pros: |
Good variety of content
High quality videos
Updates often
Unlimited Downloads
Good looking women
Access to other sites
I found the videos to be very high quality and the download speed was fast as well. The scenes were creative and original and the women are slender and classy. The navigation was easy and smooth. |
| Cons: |
The thing that I found unappealing about this site was that a large percentage (about 80%) have fake breasts. These women are slim and so it looks like baseballs on their chests. |
| Bottom Line: |
I think overall it is a good site, if you don't mind silicone breasts. |

*Newbie reviews and ratings don't count toward a site's overall score/rank until the user reaches the Rookie status level (5 points). This rule is needed to help prevent fake (or heavily biased) profiles and reviews.
