| Pros: |
+It's Playboy. Pretty much a extension the magazine.
+Finally upgraded and added a XL photo option. EDIT: See specs at bottom of review.
+Updated daily. And also has daily double, 2 pictures that change daily.
+HD Videoes that using Firefox can be downloaded with no problems.
+If you do the monthly option, after 3 months you can add another site for free. That site can be another Playboy site (Network sites, Special Editions, etc) or even a more explict Spice site.
+Easy to change, add or cancel subscriptions right there on the website. |
| Cons: |
-It's Playboy lol. So the photoshoping is still pretty prevelant. They seem to have a habit of trying to shade or hide the pussy if they do show it. You'll very seldom see a lady squatting down with full frontal nudity, unless she has a inner pussy.
-While the photos are finally a respectable size, they still aren't as big as other sites.
-Most Celebrity pictorials aren't available.
-Videos are great quality but they seem to have a habit of going super slow closeup from the face to the belly button and then zoom past the bottom half. Would be nice to see them pay equal attention to all of the ladys body. |
| Bottom Line: |
It's Playboy, if you don't like the content of the magazine then you won't like the site. Even though some have said all pictorials are available online, they aren't. Some celebrity ones like Christy Hemme or Pam Anderson 1994 spread isn't available online. Which is fine for older sets but even some of the newer ones, like UFC's Rachelle Leah which was in this months magazine, isn't available online. So if your joining for some celebrity pics, it can be hit or miss on whether it's available.
Photos are decent quality. I find the HD videos excellent quality. It just mainly comes down to how much they show as to rather I keep it and the over editing of the vidoes can really get on your nerves.
The site is updated daily with atleast a daily double, 2 random photos, but it normally is also updated with a new photoset. There is a lot of content but only the new stuff is available in the XL photos. Some of the older vidoes aren't hd but they are widescreen and look decent.
The one huge upside to any Playboy site is how easy it is to cancel. Just log in and go to "Member Services". From there you can cancel or renew any subscription. Playboy also has a loyalty program. Stay a member for 3 months and you can add another site free of charge. You can repeat the process every 3 months. Or if your only interest in the Cyber Club, you can save a decent amount of money doing the annual plan.
Overall if you like the content Playboy Magazine then you'll like the Cyber Club.
EDIT: I just recently canceled but now that I know a bit more about spec talks, wanted to add photo and video specs. Most "of the week" galleries have 1 set of 15-20 images with no video. "Of the month" galleries normally have 3 sets of 30-40 images with 3-4 videos. Photos are not available to download in zip. The photos default to coming up in medium, so you'll constantly have to change the photos to XL. They need to allow the option to make XL default.So as you can see, why they are decent quality, they aren't huge like Playboy wants you to believe.
The videos are available in Quicktime, WMV, & HD. Both quicktime and wmv want to stream but with Firefox there are ways around to download it. However I normally stuck with the HD videos. The HD videos are .mov files. Unfortunatly I don't know how to find out info on .mov files but they are widescreen and listed as 720p. Most videos are around 3-5 mins long. They include a strip tease and then some closeups of the body.
Over the past couple months, while I was a member, I find myself visiting the Playboy sites less and less. There are just too few images per gallery and Playboy makes sure you only see what they want. If they merged this site with the Girls of network sites then it might be worth it but right now in this economy, I can't see this site being worth $20. Unless you really like softcore glamour Playboy style images and videos |

| Bottom Line: |
First of all it is Playboy, so you should expect HOT women in non degrading photos. It is pretty much an extension of the magazine. The photos look nice and there certainly is a lot of them.
Playboy is against downloading of their content, I was told this over the phone. And so far they have lived up to this. This is an extremely hard site to download from. Download Them All for Firefox is the only method I have found so far, other than manually clicking "save as" for thousands of photos. The videos can not be downloaded so far either. So obviously there will be no handy zip files to grab.
Also, canceling is extremely invasive and personal. If you try to cancel you MUST call them and TALK to a real PERSON, not a machine and not on the website. Of course you can join conveniently over the net with your credit card, they dont want to scare you away from joining. But, they do not want you to leave, they will have a woman talk to you and try to sell you on a discounted rate. She worked on me! :) The discounted rate is 10 bucks a month. So it is easy to stay here and end up forgetting about it for awhile and still be getting charged because you dont want to tell a woman with a sexy voice "no."
If they would change these two things it would be worth another 20 points, but as it stands the content is not worth these hassles. Dont get me wrong though, the photos are nice and I love looking at them. They just need to work on costumer friendliness. |

*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.
