Good detail. I think that your review has covered most of the bases. I am glad that I read it, I was half considering subscribing, tossing up between spending my money with Score at Scoreland or XLGirls, I think I will take the heavier option.

Hey, no problem...Scoreland is a fairly popular site as they cater to a very popular niche, are a pretty recognizable brand due to their magazines. Also they have a few girls you can't see elsewhere.

That just leads to passwords being stolen pretty frequently. It happened to me a few times subscribing to that site. Last time I was there was probably August/September last year.

Hi. Thanks for the info.

Just an FYI:

I have not heard a reply from Scoreland regarding my questions. The form said they would respond within 24 hours. Maybe they are just busy or maybe they don't want to reply, or maybe they just don't care. Either of these could be true. I will just leave it there. Readers can draw their own conclusions.

I did notice that I got a truckload of promos from Scoreland yesterday in my E-Mail box, offering me an additional site if I stick around, and special deals on other sites. I signed up for one month, non-renewing. I also noticed something odd. Twice now, I have received emails telling me my password was reset as they have noticed suspiscious activity on my account. This happened the week after I signed up and also yesterday. My guess is they do this to make password sharing on the net more difficult and make sure it is the person who signed up that is using the account. I haven't used the site in a week.

I have no interest in renewing--not because of the HD issue itself, but I have seen what I wanted to and downloaded the photo sets I liked.

Bubbagump, all of the Score groups HD videos are found on Score HD, this includes all of the major sites: Scoreland, XL girls,18eighteen 40something mag etc.

Score HD does not have vids from any of their standalone sites such as 50plus milfs.

All THE VIDEOS ON SCORE HD ARE AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD (at least last time I was there not too long ago).

The only drawback to SCORE HD is there are no pic sets from the Score Groups array of magazines; only screen shots of the vids. So if you just want vids Score HD is the way to go.

It's a bit confusing, and yes I agree a bit deceptive (I have commented on this before).

Hi. No Problem. It's good to get straight info from others. To be honest, I have always been supiscious of porn review sites because I always felt they were stacked and bisaed towards certain studios--my opinion is a lot of them really are. It's good to find a place where you can feel confident you are not getting some covert sales pitch or slanted reviews by editors. I wish I would have had straight opinions like this in the past.

Never been into online stuff until recently but mainly was a collector or softcore erotica and photography--Score was one of them. If they write me back with a response to the inquiry, I certainly will post the reply.

FYI..I contacted Scoreland through the members area. I also asked if they would add a comment here(if they know about this place).

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I am a subscriber to Scoreland and was wondering why HD videos cannot be downloaded? Also, older video content is not available for download either. Are HD videos available for download at Score HD?

I am not asking for a refund as I felt I got what I came for. However, this seems to bit deceptive, as the homescreen displays a HD logo and there is no plain information when signing up regarding what is and is not available for video downloads.

There are also a number of comments and questions about this subject at Pornusers.com and people are wondering what the straight scoop is on this. Is there any way you could leave a reply over there, as well?

Thanks and Regards

To messmer (123):

Hi. Thanks.

I cannot really say for sure if Score HD allows the HD to be downloaded. I would think they would or people would get really upset. I do not have access to that without a subscription so can't check for you. I also do not know how far back in time you can download, but I suspect there are similar date restrictions as can be found at Scoreland.

As far as my review and the comment I added, I agree a lot of people will not like the fact that they don't allow any HD downloads at all at Scoreland. All of the videos on the home page have a HD logo on them and you can indeed stream them in HD. Technically, I cannot call this a fabrication as the movies can be viewd in HD --they just refrain from telling you about the download stuff. There is no statement anywhere when you sign up as to what can or cannot be downloaded. My view is that it is indeed a bit deceptive, however, and I think most will be inclined to see it that way. This will eventually upset people and they won't come back.

To be fair, I think the site should, at minimum, put an asterik next to the HD logo indicating this information. At best, they should include full information in plain view on the signup screen. You will just succeed in upsetting people if they feel like they got deceived, whether or not that was the intent.

I am a bit surprised as, over the years,I have purchased from Score in Miami before--mags and even a couple videos. I had dealings with customer service and they were always helpful and even refunded a purchase once. They never struck me as the kind to play games. As I said before, I will always give the benefit of the doubt unless I have reason to believe otherwise. Without hearing what they have to say, most will conclude this is deceptive.

As far as my opinion, I felt I got what I wanted from the site as I am primarily a photo guy. I mention this in my reviews so people know how to judge my opinions on content. I won't be re-subscribing after my 30 day sub has run out, however. I do like many of the photo sets and others into the genre probably will, as well. However, there is really not a big reason for me to stick around longer. The lack of HD download sealed it. Again, I don't view or DL a lot of video content but I like to do so when something really nice catches my eye.

I did not lower my review score even further as in all honesty, I did enjoy the photo content and felt like I got what I came for in that regards. HD video lovers, however, should definately consider all that has been said on this subject of download limits.

Excellent review as always. One question, are you sure Score HD still allows you to download videos? At least without the limitations they have imposed in the other Score sites? (see comments at 50plus MILFS as one example) I am genuinely interested because if all their videos can still be downloaded I might re-subscribe to that site.

I hope they have enjoyed that decision because I don't think they have been able to get as many new members and they certainly aren't getting many repeat ones.

I think that the quality of the video is not that important when discussing all of the Score Group sites because this company made a business decision last year to stop offering their entire library for download. What you now have is streaming only content for all videos and download option for part of the library. If it was made obvious on their preview page which videos are streaming only and which ones are downloadable then that would be fine but it isn't and I should know because I got burned when I joined one of the sites.

I highly recommend that anyone interested in video avoid all their sites.

HD Downloads Not Available.

One comment I would add, in addition to my review:

I noticfed Sunday evening that when I did download a video, HD is NOT available in the download section. I believe you need to subscribe to Score HD and this is where the HD video downloads are housed. You can stream the videos in HD but cannot download them. I checked a number of recent video updates to make sure this was the case.

As I am not a big Video guy, this is not an issue for me(mostly). However, I believe this might some people might be rubbed the wrong way, especially if you are used to HD quality downloads. I also think that if this is true, the site owners might make this more clear on the members signup screen and advertising. The HD label appears on the videos, but it does not say you cannot download HD video but only stream them.

I would advise those interested in HD video to subscribe to Score HD if HD video is your primary interest.

Given the cost of subscriptions, HD should be available. IMO, this is a bit misleading but I will always give someone the benefit of the doubt. My opinion is that this is a cross-sell marketing strategy but that is just my opinion. I won't knock them for doing this as it is a good way to cross-sell their sites. I just wish they would be upfront in the member area at Scoreland that HD is NOT available for download there.

I have also adjusted my review to indicate this.

hmm..Interesting. I read the reply from the Customer Service rep in that thread.

Not sure what to make of that. Piracy certainly would be a top concern on my mind if I owned a site. However, the 7 week cutoff seems rather arbitrary. Why 7 and not 12, for instance?

My hunch on this is that the explanation is partially true--my opinion only and not to be taken as fact. There are concerns about piracy, but I also suspect this might just be a good business move in terms of bandwidth. I say this as they do not employ this date restriction with photo gallery downloads. I downloaded galleries from stuff dated way back to 2005. There are no restrictions. I assume pirates will go after the photos as well.

So, my guess is that this limit also serves as a practical bandwidth decision that keeps the server from slowing down with folks downloading older videos.

Hello.

I don't see anything at Scoreland indicating a limit on downloads. There is no info in the signup screen indicating a limit but it doesn't say 'Unlimited Downloads' either. I do not download much in the way of videos so I didn't even think about this when signing up. If there is a lmit, it's probably snuck in on the fine-print on those user aggreements we always click yes to.

On this subject, something wierd I discovered at XL girls was that some videos did not have a download option at all, while others did. It makes no sense as to why certain videos could not be downloaded. It doesn't appear to be based on when the video was added or any specific content. For instance, a recent XXX action video can be downloaded, whereas a solo video one-month old cannot and vice-versa at places.

I always thought of porn review sites as simply fronts for studios, as a lot do seem to be heavily biased. This site seems pretty objective and fair so far and the members giving reviews are not just someone from the company in disguise.

IMO, XL girls should be a subsite to Scoreland. The sites that are offered at Scoreland as subsites are really not that great--basically just older content of some of the classic scoreland models.

Curious Pricing Strategy

The TBP price shows $39.99 per month and a LIMITED trial for $2.99.

That pricing matches what the site says...but they have a small print comment under the trial price on the site that says the trial renews at $29.99.

If that's accurate, it obviously pays to by the trial to get the better price.

Anybody been here lately? Sasha Bleu

A model I had found on a very few sites, Sasha Bleu, seems to go by several variations of aliases, all starting with Sasha. I've seen several preview sets of her that have this Naughty Mag watermark on them. I'm not real familiar with the Score Group except that I know they usually are focused on big boobs. TBP review looks pretty good on it, but no recent reviews or comments, so I'm just curious if anyone has tried it recently. Not being a huge fan of big boobs, I don't know if it's worth a membership just to get the Sasha content or not.

It's a good suggestion Thomas20 but since their double speak isn't really lying. So asking for my money back isn't really an option.

Another member has told me that the changes are recent so that's why TBP's review is now obsolete.

I take comfort in the fact that my 20$ membership will cost the site and others from the same company some serious loss of income.

Hi Pat, I wish other members of SCORE sites would look in or speak up because if the new model is being used right across the board we should warn everyone through the Forum. This way people who would never subscribe to streaming only, and I am one of them, would have advance warning. The ideal would be for the TBP staff to look into the matter and issue a warning in connection with SCORE.

Score is correct that it will stop piracy but the problem is that it will also stop paying members who only wanted to download to their computer the pics and videos from joining.

CANNOT download movies in HD, can only stream.

This is one of the stupidest things I've seen in a while. On this site the video previews in the tour area all play in 720 HD, but once you become a member can you download it in that file size? NOPE! You can stream it like that, but if you want to download it the biggest video size you can get is 640 x 360. What kind of crap is that? Talk about frustrating.

Pat, your review confirms to me that all of SCORE must have switched to a new way of doing business recently. The way it works in 50plus MILFS is that the three most recent updates are available for download, after a certain short period they are being downgraded to streaming only. And then after another fairly short period they are being retired for good. This would explain why there are so few videos and picture sets listed. I am not very good at explaining but if you go to the latest comments at 50plus MILFS you'll get your answer. SCORE'S explanation is that it is done to combat Piracy!!! BTW, TBP wrote their review before this startling change.

I completely agree with your remarks, malikstarks! I, too, had intended to return to this site periodically (long term membership made no sense with their slow update schedule) but with this new model of doing business there's no sense in doing that. So, goodbye to a very good site! :-(

BTW, this incident motivated me to suggest today's poll!

These sites are from the Score Group. I made a thread about their new direction a few months back entitled: "No adult industry in two years" in which their lead editor predicted that piracy would bring an end to the industry ("in two years").

At the time all they were doing was eliminating downloads for their newest "it" model Valery Irene. (Score always has an "it" or "Flagship" model, before her it was Christy Marks, and before that Lindsey Dawn McKenzie) Now it seems they have expanded this approach to some of their websites, although clearly not all of them as I am currently on the last day of a subscription to ScoreHD and they have not yet limited downloads there.

I was actually planning to return to 50plus milfs sometime next month, as I had not really downloaded as much as I wanted to last time. Obviously with this news that is out of the question. They basically just lost a customer. I will consider returning to Exploited Moms instead. Not to mention I know of a free blog where I can obtain most of their back catalog right now. But I was willing to pay.

They are making a big mistake with this as they are destroying any chance at repeat business they might get. I don't think they understand their consumer base. While I understand their concern over piracy, they are clearly not the only ones being hurt by this, none of the other sites have turned on their own customer's in this way.

While they offer unique content overall, and particularly with this site. It is not so unique as justify this, even from a purely business standpoint.

This site's way of doing business has changed dramatically. For a full explanation see Silverman6's comment below. I would never recommend this site now. I attempted to change my review but it is time expired.

All I can say is that you and I are on the same page. If I wanted to look at crappy streaming video, there are dozens of free sites I could waste my time watching. I'm a collector, too, willing to pay for quality, not junk.

Thanks for the update, Silverman6! As to the new trend: some sites are trying but I don't think they'll be successful. That trend would only sound good to a kid who's afraid of someone finding porn on his hard drive. :-) As I stated earlier, for the rest of us it is only another form of DRM and the overwhelming majority of us have rejected that trend! I can't tell you what to do but I would, personally, take them up on the offer to give you a refund. That'll teach 'em!

If you haven't done so yet, I would edit my comment to include their answer to you, or make a new comment with their answer to you only. Potential subscribers HAVE to know this, especially since there is nothing in their tour to indicate that they made a dramatic change like that.

Hi Messmer,
Here's the response from their support:

"In an effort to limit the amount of content being downloaded by �pirates� using automated download managers, we recently updated the download options for video postings on www.50PlusMilfs.com and www.60PlusMilfs.com.

All new video content remains totally downloadable in HD. However, after approximately six weeks, the download option will be removed and the content will then be viewable only in streaming format.

To increase the enjoyment of our streaming videos, we have recently upgraded to a state-of-the-art new Content Delivery Network (CDN) with servers around the world to ensure that our streaming video plays fast and without buffering.

Please understand that your long-term satisfaction remains our top priority, and if you are not satisfied with www.50PlusMilfs.com or www.60PlusMilfs.com, we would be happy to cancel and refund your membership upon your request. Of course, we really hope you understand the dire consequences of Internet piracy and are willing to stay with us through these trying times. We fully understand that it is your support that keeps us in business and enables us to continue discovering new models and shooting the top-notch content that you expect from us."

Maybe the start of a new trend?

I flatly refuse to join any "streaming only" site, JayG. To me it's the same as DRM. They forget that most of us are collectors and that we don't want to be tied to any site with the umbilical cord of having to stay subscribed in order to enjoy the contents.

Streaming only has always been a crappy option for me. I've never seen streaming video that was anywhere near the quality of downloaded stuff. Watching it is like driving one of my old cars when a piston or two was mis-firing. Very distracting! putt, putt, .....putt, putt.......putt....putt, putt.....
