An issue that has NOT been resolved - inconsistent updates.

At this point, the last update was on 9/18/08. There are times when they are adding a new DVD every couple of days. There are other times when there are long periods of time between updates.

Great Site - many of the older issues seem to have been resolved

I would have written a complete review, but the others have covered almost everything, so I'll just add a couple of updates.

DRM - there are still some files that have DRM on them, but of the 100+ scenes I downloaded I only found maybe 5 that still had DRM (mostly in older videos).

DL Speed - I know that there have been a few complaints, but I don't see a problem. My average DL speed is 400kb/sec. That compares very well to Video Box, for example, where I average less than 200kb/sec.

Updates - I've been a member for less than a month, and given the number of movies already on the site it will be a while before I have to worry about that. When I do, I'm sure I'll agree with the people who complain about the lack of regular updates.

Sound issues - no one has mentioned this before, but I've found that the sound isn't in sync with the video on many of the scenes. It isn't off by much, but enough to be annoying.

Over all, this site is well organized and worth the money. Yes, I know that some have complained about the cost, but Third is an excellent studio and it is worth it. Bundled with Zero Tolerance makes it an amazing value. If Third and Zero are to your liking, you can build an impressive collection quickly.

I give full marks to studios like this who make good movies, and then make them available on the net at a reasonable price with no DRM. I only hope that this business model continues to get picked up by other studios.

I agree on your CON. If you want to be a member for more than a month the unconsistent updates are a problem. I was only a member for a month and I kept busy downloading during the whole month.

I guess these sites just release their own produced stuff when it's ready, their main market is probably the retail DVD rental/sale market, they have certain times when more stuff is released.

The sites that buy/licence stuff from lotsa studios/distributors can buy content in bulk and drip feed releases in steady pace.

You do indeed get access to Black Ice as well as ZTOD if you join Third Movies.

The one con that I see in this deal is inconsistency of updates.

There are times when new DVD's are added every couple of days and there are times when new DVD's aren't added for a week or more.

To JBDICK (19):

Great review, I joined and totally agree:

I have started to get orde with the general sites like videobox that have 5000 scenes but 80% is crap, 10% OK.

Better with these type of sites who maybe only have 500-700 scenes and much higher quality.

It looked like only Black Ice gave access to all three sites so I joined through their site, I posted my review here:

Hi Denner

yep, been away on business...to answer your question...pretty much BIG FAT BLACK US ASS. There are some (not many) latina in there and they are the icing on the cake but I'm not keen on looking at butt that big...I like my Tight European Girls...

Cheers, I'm off to catch up on some of the activity on PU

Another great review...
BTW - "long time no see".
JB, this new added bonus-site Black Ice? Tried to browse a little. Is it just US/Euro "black" girls or is there latin "black" girls too?

Third Site Membership Added

Third Movies just added another site to the membership. In addition to ZTOD, you now get access to Black Ice Pass. It features mostly black actors and/or actresses and is not yet listed by TBP. Adding a third site is a good way to increase the value of this site. Way to go!

Better conditions

Had some dispute with the two sites: Third Movies and ZTOD (package deal) where you were not able to download some of the content - just stream. (see review)

Just went through both - and they have altered things, so it's now possible to download all content. Well, at least the stuff I tried to grab without luck earlier...

Hey,

The complete DRM removal will be done by next week - some of our guys were on vacation, hence the delay. We're also adding a better flash format for our members that don't want to download our movies but just watch them online.

Thanks for your feedback

DRM Issues Resolved?

Third Movies was actively removing DRM from its videos. However, at last check, there were a few bugs in the system as some videos were offline and others still had DRM attached. Does anyone know if the process of removing DRM is complete yet?

Freezing Downloads

I am having major problems with downloads freezing. My connection speed at better than 4mbps is not the issue. I attempted to contact them thru their Support Page and it won't go through either. Some Support Page if it doesn't reach them.

I can't comment on the timing of the releases since I have not followed their productions in the past. I can say that they have some good content in there. If you preview the site, you can take a look at the list of vids offered. If there seems to be a good bunch in there that you haven't seen yet, then it would be worth it for you.
Again, it's hi-quality videos with somewhat slow download speed and nearly no DRM.

To User (28):

I've thought about joining Third Movies, but it doesn't seem to live up to its own advertising. Their big selling point is that they put Third Degree DVD's out on their site weeks before the street sale date. Given how much I like a lot of Third Degree product, I'd join in a heartbeat if that were true. But it doesn't seem to be at all. In fact, when I looked at the details on the recent updates, which are not coming frequently or consistently, they say that the DVD's they are adding are from 2005 - that's not exactly the same thing as weeks before the street sale date!

I'm not really sure on the percentage but it seemed like most of the ones that were reasons for me joining the site I had issues with like some of the About Face, Hand to Mouth and Beefeaters series. There were a lot more issues on the ZTOD site and I don't think they had the XVid option on their clips so yeah it was basically a waste for me. After I didn't hear anything back from my second email about a possible refund or extension of membership I finally went and tried to install the XVid plugin but it took a while to get it to work so I only had about 2 or 3 days that I was able to download stuff.

Download Issues

I stated it in my review for Third Movies but there were certain clips that I had problems downloading or even viewing in the WMV Medium format. I am on a Mac but I have the Flip4Mac plugin and have had no issues viewing WMVs on other sites so I knew it was on their end. I sent them an email about it and was told that they would work on it. 2 weeks went by and I was still having issues with the same clips so I sent another email and heard nothing back. The other day I finally went and downloaded the XVID codec and was able to download some clips before my membership expired but overall it ended up being a waste of money.

Not only were there issues on the Third Movies site but on the ZTOD site I guess they have been removing DRM from their clips and a lot of them weren't working so overall I ended up being pretty disappointed with the membership. Like I said in my review, the content is top notch and the talent is gorgeous but if you can't use the product it makes it pretty meaningless.

It'd be interesting to see where you're located - we're not having any issues with our server it seems, there is definitely room for growth.

A few of our members are using download managers such as DAP and it's really helping it seems.

Let me know

Download Speed

Just joined this site. The site advertises incredible download speed. Maybe their server is having a bad day, but so far it is almost the slowest download speed I've encountered on a major site. I tried and tried again, and even checked my own connection, which is normal and fast. Like I said, maybe they are having a bad day...if it changes, I'll post again. But so far. it's S-L-O-W! ***UPDATE***As promised, I wrote that I would post again if any changes occurred. After a few days, download speed increased. I would characterize it as average.
