| Pros: |
*Variety of different niches
*Niches not found on other popular video sites (gay, fetish, shemale, bi. pregnant)
*Has actors names listed (rare to see the guys names)
*Great price on 2 day full access trial |
| Cons: |
*Could use more search options to find categories
*Does not have videos of a lot of popular stars
*Many videos do not have the actress listed
*Preview pics could be more on target to niche (for instance, if the video is about titfucking, then at least one of the preview pics should show that)
*No pics of actresses in the search section |
| Bottom Line: |
This site has a lot to offer and the price was reasonable. Particularly the trial. But, I chose not to renew to full subscription because it just didn’t fit my navigational style. On many scenes the actress field was left blank and I really like to find a good actress and then check out her scenes. I also don’t know most actresses by their names and since so many of them go by more than one name I like to have the actresses pics in the actress search by alphabet section. This site does not have them.
I didn't have any trouble with the downloading or quality of video, but I usually don't rate based on those things.
But, for the trial price it is definitely worth a look. The one thing this site has is a few niches that the bigger video sites do not cover well. Like shemales, gay and bisexual. I would not pay exclusively to see those but it is nice to check them out for a change in variety. I feel there are better alternatives in video sites for myself, but give it a try, it may be what you are looking for. |

| Pros: |
Lots of Content
Good array of niches
Daily updates
Decent site navigation
Upcoming Dvd section
Cheap price point
Offers movies in many formats
Streaming video so you can preview clip |
| Cons: |
Not exclusive content
Search function could use massive improvement
Favorites section can be frustrating
Streaming video is choppy(for me at least) |
| Bottom Line: |
So here's the bottom line...if you've been to Videobox you'll find that this site is like it's kid brother. Smaller, slower and little dorky. But that's kinda why I liked this site. The dork factor.This site has a very good selection of fetish movies and for the weirdo in me this is great. Gay, latex, trannies, tattoos, bi etc. These are things I'd never really try in the bedroom, but it sure is fun to watch them sometimes. And unlike a lot of other sites, there isn't this aversion to gay porn. While I'm not gay, I'm not going to hate on the next guy's porn preference. Hey, we are equals when it comes to porn, so why hate right? Now none of the content is exclusive, and you will probably be able to find all the clips somewhere else, but probably not for such a low price. They also offer the option to convert the clips for you, but that can take awhile. By my count it took a week for the clip to be available in the requested format and then it only stays available for a couple of days which for a porn site, is a little strange. Who waits for a week to get a 20 minute clip? Another pet peeve of mine with the site is the favorites section. Before you mark it a favorite, it streams in a flash window, but once it is a favorite it streams in windows media player and most times the link is bad. Which makes it difficult to refind a scene you liked. The search function is utterly useless but for the price you can't really go wrong.Check it out for a month, you won't be too sad you did |

| 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. |

| Pros: |
- Slightly better quality on highest videos than videobox
- Great TBP price $14.99
- Large collection, over 1800 DVDs
- Has some DVDs that I haven't seen elsewhere including 6 or 7 21 Sextury DVDs
- Navigation is almost as easy videobox, but not quite, still a very easy site to use. |
| Cons: |
- Niche/categories that won't interest some, gay, tranny
- A good portion of the DVDs, probably 50% or more come off as low budget, b-grade porn. |
| Bottom Line: |
I had a couple of reasons to join this site, they have three of the "My Dear" series from 21st sextury, My Dear Sandy, then Anetta Keys and the Sophie Moone. Each of those have 6-8 solo clips of each woman in them. Also had a few other 21st Sextury DVDs, those are $24.95 if I'm not mistaken when bought separately. And feature some of my favorite top 10 models.
They also had 5 Eva Angelina clips that I don't have, and neither videobox or pornstarxs have. I got my money worth just on the 21st Sextury and Eva Angelina clips, but I'm sure I will pick up some more over the next week or so. The site looks good, the navigation uses niche or search by name, so there is nothing to complain about there.
A nice feature that more and more video sites are offering as does DVD box, is to let you look at what all they have before joining. The quality on the videos is slightly above standard DVD res, 700. They also have smaller clips which are much smaller. On one I was testing to see what the content of the clip was, the smaller version was 13.8 MB, the large version was 109 MB.
Not for sure about customer service, haven't had to use it yet, but they do have an online survey that asks for recommendations and 8 questions. Site updates 2 new DVDs per day, and you can check the coming soon section to see the next 7-8 DVDs, which is nice. It lets you see if you have reason to hold onto another month's membership or cancel and come back later. Recommended! |

| Pros: |
- Lots of DVDs that you can't find anywhere else
- 2 new DVDs added every single day
- Streaming format is great, you can jump right to the part you want in the movie without have to wait to download the whole scene.
- Quality in Full Screen is great
- TBP deal makes it a trully good deal!!! |
| Cons: |
- I'm more a "streaming" type than a "downloader", but I guess that if you are the later, then the movies can be quite big to wait for sometime (note that at the end, longer downloads means better viewing quality) |
| Bottom Line: |
A trully great site. I've been a member for 2 month and with almost 1700 dvds + 2 new each days, I hardly see how I could get bored. The quality in my opinion is trully great. No more small image, get the full one without all the pixelisation! This being said, I wouldn't give a perfect score since I think that even if the navigation is meant to be simple, some search features could be put in place to help us dig the site. |

| Pros: |
+ does have large dvd collection
+ I have found some mainstreem vids that are not on the other dvd sites
+ Nice TBP discount price |
| Cons: |
- DVD's added before 2006 look like crap
- They dont update as fast as their competitors.
- Bad encoding on new videos (if you want the hi-res version of a scene, it will usually cost you 400+ meg for 30-40min scene) |
| Bottom Line: |
Basically it is a repackage of several videos that you would get from Pornaccess.com. Its nice that you don't have to go though several individual sites to get the videos. But on the other hand there is still several videos that Pornaccess has that are not listed on this site. |

*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.
