| Pros: |
- Part of the 21st Sextury Network, one of the best sites on the network. Received with Zoliboy membership and 33 other sites for one price.
- Total of 175 sets as of today 2/21/09, comes with picture set and video.
- Updates weekly/daily using the piece system, one piece added each day to equal full scene once a week.
- Newest videos are 1280 high end, pictures are 1280 high end and zipped.
- Navigation is very easy, nice, clear icons to download from without any hassle.
- DL speeds are above 95% of max speed, sites work with DL manager.
- Europe's best models are here too |
| Cons: |
- I guess the biggest con is that the videos do range in size, the smallest on the oldest videos are 512 high end, then about halfway through the archived videos you jump to 720 high end and now all newer ones are 1280 high end.
- Some of the content is shared with other 21st Sextury sites, but not a large amount of it, I'm thinking around 25% at most, 10% could be more accurate. Good thing is, most of the sites with shared content are not available in your network that you get when you join one site.
- Have to think some are still confused by the network plans, but they have made it as clear as possible. |
| Bottom Line: |
How many times do you join a site for the bonus sites? That is the case with this site for me. It was a deal breaker when I was deciding on which 21st Sextury site to join through. Several reasons, 10 sets of my favorite model Eve Angel, a new set of one of the few new Euros that I really like named Tea, trying her best to be the next Mia Stone, and that is a huge compliment from me. I also prefer solo and this is 100% solo, unless I missed some that weren't.
21st Sextury is one of the few companies that can get away with 1280 high end on pictures because their pictures are some of the most beautiful you will see. Nice, bright colors and the picture sets are in that "just right" size with around 100 pictures per set. I think they are planning to up the size of the pictures as there was a poll asking about sizes preferred. According to Zoliboy's site they are also going to start re-releasing the older material in high definition.
I'm impressed with the navigation for the most part. It still has the 1-23 model list that you kind of play take a guess and see which letter you land in, but they do also have an alphabetical list of models as well with a nice good size picture of each model so you can identify the models by face if you don't know their names. Once on a model's page, you click the set you want to see, then you have the option of watching a trailer of the video, an icon for photos, an icon for video and it is that simple. Simple is good in this case.
The biggest draw for me is of course the model selection. Where you do see the shared content is on some of the bigger name models like Aneta Keys, her set on here was on Club Sandy as well. A couple of the Eve Angel ones were on Club Sandy too, but it is still a pretty small number from what I can see.
The varying video quality could be frustrating since the oldest ones are only 512 high end, but no less than half of the content is at least 720, I clicked the middle of the videos list and those were 720. Overall, I think the quality is plenty good enough when considered that you have 34 other sites besides this one and weekly updates coming in HD.
I am also glad to see that I haven't had any connection problems or login problems that used to come up when a member on Club Sandy. My only problem there now is trying to read the number that you have to put in, believe me, it is hard to tell what it is, depending on the numbers, but hey, if that is the biggest complaint, that too should be looked as a compliment.
Download speeds are very good, around 1,000 kb/s with a 10 M connection and the site is download manager friendly, even works with the new drag and drop feature on free download manager.
For a bonus site it is like getting a second steak after eating one, with time and growth, could easily stand on its own. Recommended by joining through Zoliboy to get the other sites, which I will try to review most of the best ones. |

*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.
