| Pros: |
A huge selection of movies and the streaming works nice. Ability to clip a movie before downloading is amazing. Has a great interface for favorites. |
| Cons: |
I have to say I'm very disappointed with VideoBox since I've last visisted. Complete throttling of bandwidth, I'm getting complete stoppages in my download from either my manager or without the manager.
I've managed zero downloads. Downloads freeze at 99%. |
| Bottom Line: |
Don't bother with this site as a download portal. I can understand some throttling at certain GB values per day or at peak usages, but I was unable to download a single file.
Certain sites just make you want to pirate this shit without having to put up with lame tactics to punish those of us that pay. |

| Pros: |
A massive amount of hardcore scenes featuring actresses (and directors/studios) from the well known to the unknown. As of this writing there are almost 70,000 scenes available for download. New videos are added regularly.
Downloading is very easy, and you can select different file sizes/types for your convenience.
The videos are almost always of a higher quality than those found at the various tube sites.
Finding videos of a certain niche (amateur, anal, etc) is fairly easy.
The staff tends to listen to customer feedback about the website, although change can be slow.
Very low cost considering the large amount of usually high quality content. |
| Cons: |
The content is non-exclusive.
The porn itself is of varying quality. Some is quite good, some isn't. Most of it is pretty typical porn style production (lovers of more artistic porn should probably look elsewhere). |
| Bottom Line: |
Although the content isn't exclusive, I've not seen it in a single place at such a high quality for such a low price. Videobox.com is overall an excellent website for someone who wants access to high quality, professionally produced adult video downloads at a relatively low price point. |

| Pros: |
Huge amount of vids with varied content.
Great price for the amount of content.
Excellent search features and options.
Daily updates of 5 new videos. |
| Cons: |
Content is not exclusive, its videos from other porn production companies.
Only offers one hi-def video a day out of the five offered.
Extra charges for certain studios. |
| Bottom Line: |
Videobox is an excellent porn site with a lot to offer. They have daily updates with five full videos a day.
The content focuses on main stream porn though they do occasionally have a fetish video including some trannie porn and bdsm. Most of the content is straight boy/girl sex from big porn companies such as lethal hardcore, vince voyeur studios, and now even jules jordan. Of course they also have lesbian scenes and gang bang videos. The search feature allows you to search for niche content easily and has a porn model search feature but for female porn stars only.
Vivid and evil angel have a seperate chanel with one video added every other day but there is an additional monthly fee for full access. They also have added content for reality kings and kink recently for other additonal charges. How ever the main site has several thousand porn videos you can download, stream, and even make your own custom clips that offers endless hours of porn surfing.
Each day at 8am eastern time they add five vidoes. The videos show up with their covers. You can click on the video and it shows each scene with six screen shots to give you and idea of the content. Most videos also have a description and the names of the femal porn stars in the video and scene. Each scene has the option to download in wmv, at 640X480, 480X362 iphone at 320X240 and H.264 at 640X480. Also one video a day has a hi-def opetion for download. Videos can also be streamed by flash player and you can cut and make your own custom clip if you don't eant to download the whole scene and save disk space on your device. Each scene and video also has a comment section where you can add your thoughts or reviews for the scenes.
Overall videobox has an enormous porn collection of content with something for everyone. For the price and the vast amount of content this site can't be beat. |

| Pros: |
Huge amount of porn; Organize fav. scenes/movies/porn stars; Custom download is the best option because you don't have to download the whole scene; Able to play WMV scenes on your xbox 360. |
| Cons: |
Confusing navigation for the new members; Unable to play MP4 scenes on your xbox 360; Paying an extra fee for scenes from Evil Angel or Vivid |
| Bottom Line: |
This is an excellent website to download scenes from more than 100 DVDs. Custom download is a breath of fresh air. Unfortunately, if u are new, u might get confused at first and u can't play MP4 scenes on your Xbox 360. Overall, 15 bucks is the perfect price compared to more than 30 when u rent and burn the DVDs from the video store. U won't regret it. |

| Pros: |
SO much content! Very well organized into niches and sub-categories. A wide range of content here. I have personally found just about everything here niche/fetish-wise. Videobox seems hellbent on trying to offer at least a little bit of everything.
They offer five add-on sites that can extend your choices pretty greatly. Kink.com is the smallest, but probably the best deal if you know how much fetish sites usually cost and offering much less content than mainstreams sites.
What's cool about the add-ons is that they prorate them as the month goes on. So, you can just wait till the last week and pick up the add-ons for a few dollars, then cancel them before the next billing cycle. Cancellation is a breeze and you can do it all from within the main site.
Video quality and database is amazing. Just pick what you want. Streams really well too. IT has drastically cut down on how much I actually download. It allows you to mark favs, save stars, etc. all on line. |
| Cons: |
It will be easier to just explain what you won't find a lot of. Anything missing from the regular site may be picked up for added charges. If you want gay and bisexual stuff you are pretty much out of luck. There's a great deal of femdom, but cuckold, for example, is pretty rare at Videobox. However, you can join their affiliate for an added fee and get access to Kink.com vids. So, that's cool. There are also some other affiliates that you can add on such as Vivid, Evil Angel, etc. So, in all you can pretty much cover every niche. For gay videos you have to join Videobox Men, which is a separate site.
That's my only complaint is that you pretty much dealing with mainstream stuff, but buried within is the fetish stuff you may be craving. |
| Bottom Line: |
Cent for cent the best deal on the net. You really can beat the selection and functionality. They even give you a mobile membership. If you are going to spend money every month this is how you need to do it. |

| Bottom Line: |
I’ve been a member at Videobox for probably a total of five years or so, and I’ve reviewed it here several times too, so is there anything new that I could add? I hope so.
I still think that VB is an amazing site and I still recommend it to friends who are looking to build a porn collection in one easy step. VB is like the adult superstore that lives in your computer. VB is now creeping up on 12,000 DVDs and they continue to add five per day. I’ve said this before and I still believe it: VB is already huge so they should concentrate on quality and let the quantity slide a bit. If VB is like a porn superstore that lives in your computer, then the bargain bins are starting to take over the floor space. Past complaints have been that VB has too heavy a reliance on low-grade European porn, but they seem to be balancing that with more U.S. titles now. The bad news, in a “Monkey’s Paw” sort of way, is that the U.S. titles are frequently slapped-together compilations. You know the kind where a studio will pay some kid editor to compile some unrelated but thematically similar scenes? That’s the kind of work that gives you classics like “Girls with Moles on their Bums.” Okay, so I made that up, but it isn’t far off. I wouldn’t complain as much except sometimes a scene can be here on the original DVD and then on several compilations too. Even with the European porn, it seems to be bargain-bin quality.
Much of the discussion here seems to be about VB3. I share the opinion that most others have: I don’t like it. I’ll admit that part of that is because I don’t like change, but this seems to be a change just for the sake of change. Sure, the old VB was fairly simple, but that’s not bad. My suspicion is that VB3 is driven by marketing. It appears that not all the bugs are worked out yet either since the site pushes a “new and improved” VB3. I tried it and used the feature that allows me to add scenes to “my stash” for future viewing and I found it buggy enough that I gave up on it.
Other bad things about the site are probably more personal taste, but it sure seems like VB has every solo girl masturbation movie ever made. And a pet peeve of mine is that with many compilations (and even some original DVDs) the performers aren’t credited.
But as for the bad things about VB, that’s pretty much it. This really is an excellent site and I’d highly recommend it.
The format is known to most of us: DVDs broken down into scenes that can be streamed, edited into a custom clip, or downloaded in any of several ways. There is usually a clip labeled as “WMV DVD,” one as “WMV high” and two smaller versions for devices and iPhones. Since my connection speed is higher than the last time I was here I downloaded the DVD quality scenes only. They come in at 720x480 and 3800kb/s. HD is available on some titles but not many and it isn’t predictable. The WMV files are in codec 8 so that means that anyone using a set-top USB box (like a Western Digital) won’t be able to play these.
Download speeds are up to normal standards. One thing I really appreciate is that when queuing up scenes using a download manager the links don’t seem to have any time-outs. My DL manager was churning away the next morning after loading it with links one night. Not every site will allow that.
An addition that VB made a few years ago seems to be working out well – that’s the addition of several “channels.” I always add Evil Angel because I like their work. EA now has 526 DVDs on the site and add a new one every two days. Surprisingly there is little overlap between the EA channel and the two EA sites.
Vivid is a bit soft for me but I did try this channel once. It now has 528 DVDs and also updates every two days.
I’ve never joined the Reality Kings or Kink sites, though I may this time. One advantage with RK may be that if this is off the VB server then there would be no download limits. If I join and can say for certain I’ll let you know.
I’ve been a big fan and frequent member of Kink sites and I’m planning to sign on to this channel soon. It will be a good opportunity to try some material from their sites that I’ve not joined before.
One advantage to the channels that isn’t immediately clear is that the pricing is pro-rated. If you join VB at the first of the month and then add a channel two weeks later you’ll only pay for the two weeks left in that month. If you cancel your membership after a month it can be good value. If you keep the membership and all the channels you’ll obviously pay full price the following month.
If you need a concise way to think about VB, think of it as an all-you-can-eat porn buffet. The quality is pretty good, but it isn’t as good as other places. This is about satisfying an appetite when you want 10 pounds of chicken wings, not about treating yourself to filet mignon. Both have their place though. |

| Pros: |
-Wide variety of content of different genres, time periods, and studios.
-Downloadable content with various choices of file-format (plus no DRM, always a good thing when an adult site treats you like an adult.)
-Streaming available
-Good download speeds
-Many different fetishes
-Well integrated search engine, with the option to mark scenes/movies for later.
-Extra channels available
-Lots of updates |
| Cons: |
-Movies are a bit homogeneous (i.e. most movies and scenes are one-on-one, straight, with the same basic format and style.)
-User feedback tied to rating system (see Bottom Line)
-Extra channels cost extra cash-equivalent $ to the initial subscription cost
-Movie tags do not include performers |
| Bottom Line: |
Overall, this is one of the best sites I've seen in a long time. There's a lot of variety with many different options about how to watch. You can download at decent speeds, you can stream directly, or you can simply mark the movie as a favorite to watch later. Given the variety and sheer amount of porn here, I guarantee that you'll spend the first few days just selecting stuff you want to watch; there is a lot of it.
The bad things are really minor in my opinion. The biggest complaint is that, regardless of the variety, most of the porn on this site is very much the same. For example, lesbian porn, ebony porn, and some other "mainstream tastes" are a little underrepresented; it's mostly Asian or Caucasian-straight sex. That being said, there's still plenty to choose from if you like lesbians or interracial sex, or whatever...just not as much.
In addition, the user rating system is problematic. Given the tremendous variation in taste among the sites users, I can't help but feel there could be a better system. Here's an example: when you enter a search for movies, each movie has a "star-rating" (one star, two stars, three, etc.) However, because there's such a large number of subscribers, all with different tastes, and many who are very vocal about how much they hate this or that type of porn, just about every movie, scene, and porn star winds up with a three-star rating once the movie's been up for a couple of hours. A lot of very good porn sits in the middle of their rating system because of this.
Overall, however, these complaints are minor: I would hope for more lesbian updates, for example, but I can't complain with the number they have. If you join, don't take the movie ratings too seriously; thanks to streaming you can always decide for yourself if you like it before you download. The other channels are there, but they clearly label which movies are in what channel, so you won't have to live with ads for Vivid or Evil Angel every ten minutes. |

| Pros: |
-huge amount on content. really quite insane
-great base price
-i love the custom clip maker
-some really great finds |
| Cons: |
-need to pay extra for certain studios
-slow download speeds
-buggy webpage |
| Bottom Line: |
i joined because of the great price, ability to make custom clips, and huge selection. unfortunately the download speeds were around 500kb/s which is totally unacceptable. also sometimes movies would stop half way thru and id have to reload them. the custom clip feature is awesome, however its hard to get the splice locations correct. ive had to redownload several clips cause they were not correctly set. i guess if you have patience or are ok with just web viewing this site i sgreat for you |

| Pros: |
Well price is a pro and a con here amazingly, she below for the con but have to give it if I didn't know I paid more than people in America I would say it's good value for money for the amount of porn you get.
Some absolute gems in here if you take your time and do some searching, I felt the search engine was adequate and I did prefer to be honest the old version of video box to VB3. Thankfully I still had the option when I was there back in the beginning of July, seems like they changed soon as I expired and now its only VB3.
Strongest vids I enjoyed were Private range of movies some, really hot European ladies I never had heard of but like super models doing porn. I did enjoy also the Shane's World vids for amateur style which is a genre I've not really tapped into to. Sinsational Pictures and Sineplex also had some really good anal scenes that I liked. Lastly video Art Holland had some real good dvds that I was impressed with. |
| Cons: |
The price annoyed me some, having to pay $9 more for living in the UK, so it was $24 (£15), that said I do have to admit it was still good value for money as a great choice of DVDs.
Slowish downloads, I didn't quite have the problems Bletch had in the review below but did think it was very slow which is why I turned to using Internet Download Manager and that speeding thing up nicely for me and I could download say 3 movies in 5 to 10 mins.
Quality lacked somewhat on some movies to the point as they were under 100mb, this meant they were barely watchable to me really. I'm used to at least over 150mb for me to be bothered downloading.
I know you can't complain but did sometimes have a series from a studio I liked and over joyed to see Videobox had some of them but only to find they were missing the volume with the girl I wanted to see, happened quite a few time, but I guess they can't have everything. |
| Bottom Line: |
My bottom line of this site is its very good, I have found lots of new lovely fav women here, discovered some great dvds that I just would of never of come across or hired out from the dvd shop. The quality on some clips sure could be improved but with so many scenes and movies that would be some job going through and posting up better quality versions of all.
I went to the site to discover my newly fondness of milfs and ended up coming away with a lot more with the discovering some really excellent chickilitas that I will add to my list of favs. So overall I'm a happy bunny with being a Videobox member.
Its an absolute overwhelming site at first though as you don't know where to begin with all the back DVDs available, currently 11,346 DVDs and 63,293 scenes, now thats a lot if you end up getting them all. I guess the fun of the site is discovering gems in a all the vastness of the site and getting stocked up on studios you like.
84 score is marked down for the quality of scenes and certainly not quantity, just wished a little higher resolution for some of the movies, especially the scenes from Private studios which were a few years old but some were barely watchable. |

| Pros: |
Lots of dvds to download.
Reasonably inexpensive.
No problems cancelling account. |
| Cons: |
download speed
Search needs improving, too basic. |
| Bottom Line: |
Well I won't beat about the bush here so let's get straight to the point.
The content is more or less the same you'll find at any of the other 'multi dvd sites' For example you'll find tons of stuff from half assed companies what went under ages ago Pandemonium, Black Thunder...etc. You'll also find older stuff from Diabolic, Red Light etc..
7 hours for a 260mb download, are they fucking serious? Time of day? take your pick, just don't feed me the shit about off peak hours cause it's bull. I'm currently enjoying another 3 day tour with Devils Film and a full months sign up with Blacks on Blondes. Guess what, no download probs with either of them - except Devil's Film, which is still pretty slow - but looks fast compared to this crap.
Users from the UK will want to miss this one I'm afraid, peak hours in the US tend to run from 7am to 7pm, well just on this site anyway. |
