Thanks. I agree that VB servers are a big part of the equation. What are you seeing for download speeds?

Great review. Thanks for the updates on this site. I agree that it is one of the best out there but the quality can be pretty spotty. I haven't had a membership to VB since I upgraded my ISP to fibre-op and was wondering how the speeds would be. Given your information I'm hopeful that they'llbe pretty goo.

I agree with you on this issue. The search function isn't as good as it could be simply because of some errors in entering the information. I suspect that this is a result of the sheer volume of files being added each day. VB has five updates as you know, and I'm assuming that both bonus sites have a least one update each day. I'm a VB fan, but this site is more about quantity (and value) than quality.

Thanks for that information. I never really spent a lot of time looking at the add-on channels. I looked at the number of titles available and the monthly cost and just assumed that it was poor value. But now hearing that there is a lot pf 90's stuff there I will definitely take a look.
Thanks for the tip.

Thanks for this. I take a VB membership for a month a couple of times a year and have wondered about the value of these new additional memberships. One of the things I always look for are older videos (from the early to mid-90s). Next time I'm renew (which won;t be for six months since I'm in now) I'll be more comfortable considering one or both of the add ons.
But... they seem pretty expensive. How do you think they stand up as value?

This is an excellent review. Thanks for posting it. I appreciate the level of detail and that you kept your comments objective. I don’t find reviews to be particularly informative if all they say is “I don’t like this site.” I need to know why a reviewer does or doesn’t like a site (or parts of it) because that is often subjective and I may not share those same thoughts. I’d like to think that I could write an objective review of a site that I had zero interest in and still do it well by explaining the pros and cons of the site objectively. That’s what you’ve done here.
The comparison to Videobox is easy to make because they are so much alike. I’m into a VB membership now and based on your review I plan to join Videosz later this week so it’ll be a great opportunity for a comparison.
I’m really glad to hear that Videosz has dropped adding five DVDs per day. I wish VB would do that as well because the current model trades quality for quantity. If sites like Videosz and Videobox want to draw paying customers away from the tube sites they need to offer something that the tube sites don’t and that could be quality.
I’ll be joining Videosz later this week based on your review.

Sorry to impose on you, but I have no idea about this stuff and wonder if you could give a bit more detail.
I understand that a site has to buy bandwidth to deliver files to customers, and I understand that can be expensive, but I'm wondering what a more normal usage would cost a site. Say I join a site and in a month I download 250GB. What would a ballpark cost for the site be on that? I've often wondered if by taking a one month membership and downloading a lot of material (like most people do I suspect) whether the site is making much money off of that. I hope that most of them are, because by making money they make more porn. What are your thoughts on that?
And what are referral fees? I always enter a site through TBP/PU and assume that TBP/PU gets a bit of a kickback but I assumed it would be in the cents. What would cause referral fees to be more expensive? Any thoughts on how I as a member on a site can keep referral fees down for the site or are they unavoidable?
I'd certainly appreciate your thoughts on this because I don't know that the topic has ever come up here before.
Thanks!

Having the additional content really makes PornStar Network an excellent value. I'm not really sure how much VideosZ content you get through PSN, but it took me over a month to download everything I wanted. It at least doubles the amount of content on the network and its all free when you join through TBP or PU. I'll post a full review of PSN this week. It's a decent site and I'd highly recommend it.

I agree that this should be a trend that catches on. Most sites use multiple cameras so I'd like to see more user options to see those other views. If the editor wants to show me some guy's hairy ass I could use a different view. I find the woman's facial reactions more arousing than a hairy male ass.

I have to say that I am really surprised at the longevity of DVDs. Here at PU and on some other forums it seems that DVDs are still the 'go to' format for a lot of people. I don't get that. If my porn collection was on DVDs it would take up a warehouse. That's only a mild exaggeration. As it is, it's on 24 external drives and they fit in a briefcase.

Thanks. I've been reading a few online articles about VR porn and they recommends a phone for novices too.

Thanks for the comments and advice. i probably won't be taking the plunge in the next 12 months but I am confident that VR will have eventually be mainstream in porn and because of that I'll take the plunge sometime.
I hear you on the issue of porn driving so much technology. Hmmm... what on earth could the 4-head VCR be good for...?

Hmmm... maybe I should look into this a bit more.
In terms of hardware, what else is needed besides the player? Is the 'player' just software? Is the headset thing USB or HDMI or something else?
You've got me interested now...

skippy's Review
Thanks for posting this review. For a long time I always tried to be on the cutting edge of technology and a lot of that was driven by porn. I had the first VCR of all of my friends (back when they were top-loading and weighed 50 lbs.), I was a early adopter into DVDs. I skipped Blueray simply because online porn and external storage was becoming better and cheaper. But... I can't bring myself to take the plunge on VR yet and it isn't that I don't think it would be any good, but my worry is that it isn't plug-and-play and I'd never be able to figure out how to use it.
Someday though...

Something seems odd since the webmaster always seemed to be on top of these things. I hope you get it worked out.

I'm not sure if this will work, but if you've visited the site before at any time you'd likely still have that cookie in your computer which may prevent getting the better offer. It's worth clearing your cookies and giving that a try. I hope that works for you.

I agree 100%. The site should be tagged as lesbian because that's a strong part of it and they do it really well. It reminds me of when I was pleasantly surprised to find so much public flashing and exhibitionism on FTV Girls.
So let it be known through these comments: if you like lesbain material, you need to seriously consider a membership to Viv Thomas.

Thanks for providing this information. I've noticed the same thing on other sites so now I won't complain so much when I can't get wmvs in HD. I don't have much technical knowledge and hadn't thought of compression issues.

Thanks for taking the time to reply. I really enjoyed your site and I hope I made it clear in my review that of the few things I didn't like all but one was purely subjective. Even my issue with navigation probably isn't an issue for members who know the models. The fact is that I probably wouldn't have seen it as much of a concern if I knew the models. I hope that's clear to prospective members.
I must be confused about the Desire Moore thing... Middle-age is creeping in. That's my excuse and I apologize for the error.
As I said in my review though, one thing that I found amazing on your site were the 'banned' videos. Thanks for posting those. I like your site and would definitely recommend it (actually, I already did to a porn buddy who would really love your site) and for me those fisting videos alone were worth the membership fee!
You have a great site and thanks for offering the discount.

Yes. It was pretty rare to see an HD scene in wmv format. I didn't download a lot from this site, but I only managed to get one HD scene in wmv. Most of them are mp4 and it looks like all new HD material is mp4 only.
Maybe tangub can add to this as he's got a membership here too.

Thanks Denner. I appreciate your comments.
As for wmv HD, it really looks like they've decided that HD material will be in mp4 only. Those of us who prefer wmv are out of luck.

Thanks for the comment, cybertoad. I really think this is the weakest review I've done in a long time. I just didn't have any 'connection' with this site. You might have had the same thing where you take a membership without really knowing what you're getting. This is an great site (not excellent) but just not for me.

It’s funny how much alike our reactions to this site are and that the reasons for those reactions are almost identical. Like you, I’m coming off of a Young Legal Porn membership and that membership really changed porn for me. I don’t mean to sound like I’m exaggerating because I’m not. I’ve been buying online porn for a long time and YLP was like a breath of fresh air. (A minor difference for me is that my favourite models are Gloria and Ivana.) I was thinking of joining Videobox again but I just don’t have the desire to join another site with generic porn. Viv Thomas isn’t necessarily generic porn – it’s actually great porn – but it does follow the model of most other mainstream porn. When I write a review I’m going to try to be objective and not subjective. Had I joined Viv Thomas before YLP I’m sure I’d have liked it a lot more. That’s no criticism of Viv Thomas since I suspect that would have happened to any site that followed YLP.
