I'm just going by my limited experience and only with one site on the network, the Asian site. The videos aren't dated but I'm guessing from your comments that they're old. The latest ones, or at least the ones listed first, were 540p or less.
The quality comment was certainly subjective. One man's junk is another man's treasure.
But yeah, I did a trial on both sites, on Bang because of an inadvertent oversight on a cross-check, and there was no access to all sites on videosz. There are only 3 sites on Bang. It was the opposite on videosz although the names of the genres of the Bang sites were different.
I was looking all over for info about bang.com. I found out about it when the pre-cross check devils on Team Skeet hooked me into a trial. I guess I was looking for info in the wrong places.
I downloaded a few videos and was intrigued. I had no idea that they were affiliated with videosz until I was pointed to these comments. Bibo, I think it's the opposite of what you said - joining videosz gives one access to bang.com plus lots more. Joining bang.com only gives access to bang, though I could be mistaken.
Anyway, this site is not worth the bother for the simple reason the quality is mostly not up to snuff, at least the videos I encountered. Downloads were often only 540p or less. On the other hand, It's quite a weird site offering very diverse genres. Then again, I don't think the videos offered anything different than the other bazillion sites.
I was happy to see that vxsbill did the right thing by refunding my money. They did so a few moments after I emailed them links to 7 broken video downloads, or at least sent a confirmation notice that they were refunding my money.
As I mentioned in the forum, I'm confused with the relationship between billers and sites in the porn industry. In no other industry that I know of does one deal with the biller under any circumstances - all issues are handled by the merchant. I'm guessing that one reason may have to do with the merchant (site) not having the resources to deal with billing issues.
As for CCBill, I've had my issues with them and only yesterday had a problem. Nothing major though, like suffering a monetary loss. Regarding your inability to get a refund under similar circumstances as me, I would probably fight it, though I'm not sure. The concerns with fighting it are first, the hassle and some embarrassment of dealing with my bank for a relatively small amount of money and second, the outside chance of getting blacklisted by the biller. However, knowing myself, I'd probably fight it out of principle -).

Pros:
• The photo sets and videos that are available are invaluable and lots of fun, especially the photos.
• €14.95 monthly with PU discount, probably recurring at the regular price, €19.95, though there’s no indication.
• Billing through vxsbill, excellent customer service (see comments).
• Videos, streaming and zipped photo sets with no limits.
Cons:
• Most videos prior to the 1950s have broken links; many of the later ones have the same problem.
• Streaming is offered as an option but unavailable for the videos with broken links – when it is available, there a noticeable buffering issue.
• Streaming required me to install Silverlight, the first time I encountered this on a streaming site in a decade. And then, there’s the buffering, sigh.
• Navigability is dreadful.
• Site assigns username and password.
• The site logs you out after a relatively short period of inactivity, less than an hour. To make matters worse, you’re forced to deal with a very unfriendly captcha each time you log in.
• You can search by decade or niche (category) or open search, but you can only use one of these options. In other words, you can’t search for 1940s plus anal – one or the other.
• No updates since 2012 although their FAQ states updates daily.
Bottom Line:
This is a limited review. I received a refund in full after 1 day and perhaps 4 or 5 hours of browsing the site. The site is broken in many places which renders it close to useless. Kudos to VXSBill/IMC for giving me a refund after I politely asked and explained the reason was the plethora of broken video links. It is the first time ever asking for my money back.
The site contains photos and videos from before the 1920s through the 1980s. Unfortunately, the older videos (up to the 1950s) are mostly unavailable due to broken links. Many of the later videos are also unavailable. Streaming is also unavailable for the videos with broken links.
It should be obvious that on a vintage site the quality of the videos and the photos are not gonna be anywhere close to the HD we’ve come to expect. Not only was technology ancient in the Paleozoic Epoch, there is wear and tear, i.e., scratches on the photos and videos. The videos were probably shot in 8mm, 16mm or 35mm. This state of affairs is unavoidable and anyone joining a vintage site, particularly one with content up to 100 years old, should know the quality is going to be lacking. I’m only bringing it up so there are no unrealistic expectations.
The one redeeming feature of the site is the photos. There are plenty of them and an absolute thrill to look at some babe who would be a great great grandmother today.
There are 2 other sites included in membership though I only got a chance to explore them briefly. Navigating these sites is even more difficult than the main site, Vintage Classics. However, they both appeared to contain mostly 1980s content. Remember Seka, Ron Jeremy, John Holmes, etc? They’re all there and more. However, the quality of the videos could have been better even by those day’s standards.
If, and this is a big IF, the site worked and contained the content it purported to have, I would recommend it. However, I’m sure there are other sites available with the same or similar content that aren’t as broken as this site. Using the site was like having root canal.
The video section is organized by time period:
1900 – 1940 (~100 videos)
1940 – 1950 (~100 videos)
1950 – 1960 (~175 videos)
1970 – 1980 (~350 videos)
*Retro Stars (~200 videos)
The videos average under 10 minutes. The earlier videos are difficult to watch simply because of lack of the technology, poor lighting and oftentimes jerky camera handling. Color films weren’t introduced until the 1950s. If you can put such things aside, they are a real treat. Some of the scenes even look surprisingly good all things considered. Innocent smut? Is that a category? Well, it is now! Not much acting goes into the scenes and the “actors” generally get right down to business. Many sport disguises like fake beards, masks and sunglasses. I was surprised that the scenes run the spectrum and include straight sex, threesomes and group sex, outdoor sex, lesbian and anal.
Signing up and taking advantage of the free trial and offers of half-price membership was a painful and time-consuming experience. I won’t get into all the gory details, but suffice to say I was successful in getting a full day trial though had an uncharacteristically bad experience with CCBill in canceling. My credit card was also authorized a full month’s membership at the regular price when I opted for the free trial, perhaps customary in the business. In the end, I was able to cancel with CCBill, got the half price offer from Epoch, the secondary processor, who came through and was very helpful.
While it would be a real hoot if there were descriptions of the photos or videos such as model names, scene descriptions, ages, etc., I imagine that info is lost to history, or never recorded. However, the videos include the next best thing in listing informative statistics such as year, size, etc. The photos generally had little or no information.
Vintage Cuties is a comprehensive site for all your modern era vintage photo, magazine and video needs with some extras thrown in for good measure. Frankly, I can’t imagine any other vintage site containing more content and one that dates to the invention of photography. If the photos were available for download or at least with the ability to view simply, I would say that VC is the only vintage site you’ll ever need to join. But sadly, that is not the case. The site also suffers from several serious technical issues and it really is vintage from that standpoint. All things considered though, one can’t ask for much more in the way of vintage content. For that reason, I highly recommend it.

Pros:
• Very large and comprehensive photo section dating back over 100 years.
• Includes probably some of the oldest photos and smut videos available, though it’s unlikely that they are exclusive.
• No pre-checked cross-sell.
• CCBill and Epoch are two of the processors, though I had issues with CCBill. See comments.
• Streaming for most videos is available plus unlimited downloads.
• Meaningful file names for most videos which includes year of release in the name most of the time.
• For its time, good video and photo quality. Videos remastered in digital avi or mp4 format, though only 1 DL option. The old stuff was undoubtedly shot mostly in 8mm or16mm. Photos show little wear and tear, i.e., scratches.
• Daily updates.
• Free 1-day trial with full access – however, see comments.
• Each video lists the stats, i.e., year, format, size, duration, resolution and date added.
• HTTPS.
Cons:
• A huge drawback: photo content only available as individual downloads.
• Viewing option for photos is laborious and antiquated.
• Not really a con because It’s unavoidable but I’ll mention it so that there aren’t any unrealistic expectations – although digitized, the videos are low quality as are the older photos.
• No search tools.
• Poor navigation.
• Signing up was fraught with problems, see comments. However, I did get a discounted price of $15.95 recurring at $15.95 – regular price is $29.95 recurring at $29.95.
Bottom Line:
Pornography has a long and rich history. One of the earliest pieces of evidence dates back 25,000 years! A 4” statue of Venus of Willendorf dating back to that period was discovered in Austria. There is further evidence of statues and explicit images throughout ancient times. A major game changer was the invention in 1440 of the Gutenberg Press. As a result, the first book of erotic engravings was published in 1524. Then came the invention of photography in 1839 which basically ushered pornography into today’s modern era. That is roughly where Vintage Cuties begins its foray into porn, a.k.a., smut, dirt, erotica, filth.
Vintage Cuties may be the only site you’ll ever need for a titillating reference of what I’ll loosely refer to as modern porn, the era following the invention of photography. The site includes a vast photo collection as well as an abundance of videos from 1850 to the 1990s. At least some of the content is member submitted. While the quality of the photos and videos reflects the standards of the time, the content on VC seems mostly free of excessive wear and tear, i.e., scratches. Of course, the quality of the content from 30+ years ago seems primitive by today’s HD standards. But alas, that is part of the charm.
There are several other sites included with membership but they warrant no attention. They are unrelated to vintage porn. While the content is mostly current (within 10 years), quality and content lack any redeeming values. For example, there’s a site “Home Made Junk,” an apt title, and consists of poor quality photos and short poor quality videos. These sites detract from the main site and I recommend not spending more than a few minutes, if that much, checking them out.
The site is painful to navigate. Hitting the back button doesn’t always take you to the last page viewed. It sometimes took 4 or so clicks to get back to the menu. This is frustrating. On a similar note and another major drawback is the lack of any search feature. However, there is an extensive menu.
The photos are the real draw, at least for me. This is an enormous section consisting of 200,000 photos (as per the site) and one which you can spend days going through. However, it is unforgivable that the files are not zipped and you cannot download the sets, only individual photos.
The oldest photos date back to 1850 and were shot using t process known as daguerreotype, a photograph taken by the earliest photographic process introduced in 1839 employing an iodine-sensitized silvered plate and mercury vapor.
As mentioned, the menu is extensive and logical. The photo section includes many subsets. They’re separated by date range (1850 - 1920, 1920 - 1940, 1940 – 1950, 1950 – 1970, 1970 – 1980 and 1980 – 1990). There are different subsets under each period. For example, under 1850 – 1920, subsets include daguerreotypes, erotica, fetish, filthy, risqué cards and world people. In case you’re wondering, the “filthy” stuff is the hardcore smut, “erotica” consists simply of nudes, “fetish” is mostly spanking and bondage, “world people” consists generally of Africans and “risqué cards” which are simply nude photos. Each period has different subsets.
Also listed in the photos section after the options for date ranges are further options, some which only serve to confuse, others which are lots of fun. The options following the date range options are:
• Amateurs –1,000 photos from circa 1980s.
• Burlesque – 1,400 photos - the title says it all, undated but I’ll guess 1960s – 1980s
• Covers & Posters – 2,000 images of what seems to be entirely magazine covers apparrently from the 1950s – 1980s
• Exotic Art – 2,000 images of erotica drawings – again, undated but seemingly spans the early 20th century thru more modern times
• Magazines – 1,350 sets (~30,000 photos) with subsections by time period from 1880 to 1990. Some sets include only photos from the magazines and others seem to include the entire magazine. Very comprehensive and fun.
• Playing Cards – 360 images of, guess what? -)
• Retro Ads – over 100 sets (~5,000 images) of ads seemingly most from the 1950s, mostly nostalgic but not erotic. Remember Schlitz beer? Beech-nut gum?
• Retro Stars – 100s of mostly pinup models which tally several thousand photos - subsections by time period from the 1920s to 1980s. Retro stars include the likes of Josephine Baker (the oldest one and from 1920), Jean Harlow, Barbara Eden (clothed), Rita Moreno (clothed), Betty Blue, Anita Ekberg, Babette Bardot, Annie Sprinkle, etc. A fun section.
Unfortunately, viewing the photos is a tedious task. There is sort of a slide show feature but it’s not automatic and it’s time consuming. In addition, navigating to and from sets often requires several mouse clicks. I’m confused why they would have such a fantastic and enormous photo section with very limited viewing and download options.
I agree, this was one of the better reviews on PU. Sure thing for a raffle winner so I'll lay off this week. ;)
Question: The TBP review from 2015 is somewhat contrary to your review regarding hard sex. Can you comment? The following is an excerpt:
"The content here may not be for everyone, the bulk of it, at least. Out of the total number of scenes 1,939 of them are mere interviews up to the 12 or so minute mark before there might be something like nudity, pussy spreading, or possibly some pussy play. If you're the type who really likes to get to know your models before they might be seen later in a hardcore shoot, go for it, but just know that's what you can expect from the bulk of the sites content."
A first for me - the first and only site I got banned from. I disputed (and won) getting charged full price for pre-checked cross-sells - 2 of them. But I'm back in good graces and joined after what was probably a 3-year absence.
I'm surprised the poor site navigation issues haven't come up. The major navigation issue is getting taken back to the home page every time you click to go back. A real pita.
Other than the above, the content is excellent and well worth the hefty price of admission.

Pros:
* Uncensored as in no mosaic
* Gorgeous wimmin - I'm not knowledgeable enough to know the amateurs from pros, but I'm guessing they were mostly pros
* HD video quality
* No download limit
* large collection of videos, about 1000
* About 25 Hentai videos, though that's not my thing
* Good value for money, $29.95. No problem with canceling... I'm not familiar with the credit card processor but it was not an issue.
Cons:
* I found it very odd that the videos are all long, averaging about 90 minutes. They're mostly of one model in different scenes. I would have preferred downloading scenes and being able to pick and choose.
* Although there is a main menu and another one for categories, in reality, almost every video could fit into many of the categories. This is because of the length of the videos, sometimes more than 2 hours, and many scenes. Also, I found that the categories were not always accurate. I could find no anal in a number of the videos in this category.
* Some of the Japanese oddities are a negative for me but will be a plus for others... I think toys are overused and I'm not into bukkake. Virtually every video contains one or more of such scenes.
* I would have liked to see more amateurs.
* Why do "threesomes" almost always mean 2 guys and a gal for the Japanese? I rarely see it the other way around and YES is no exception. I can recall only one such scene.
Bottom Line:
Frankly, I've never come across such a wealth of uncensored and gorgeous Japanese wimmin. However, my experience is limited. This is one of my all time favorite sites now despite its shortcomings. I was able to download every video in less than 3 weeks with my upgraded internet speed, so it really was a bargain. Fyi, the videos amounted to over 1TB. There was only one update of about 8 videos in the 18 or 19 days I've been a member.
I had no interest in the photos, hence they're not reviewed.
There are no bonus sites but the abundance of content here makes that more than forgivable. Besides, I've found that bonus sites are generally useless fluff.
