Ditto that. I signed up for a full year that gave me an additional 6 free months. Not that sorry I did because the price per posted DVD is $.0367 (less than 4 US cents per video) which is pretty damned cheap. If I catch one video in 100 that is worth downloading my cost is $3.67, which is about the cost of a video rental these days.
But I am finding an average of 2 or 3 DVD's a week that have some good stuff so I've got no price complaints.
The only complaint is that I've got to weed through the crap to find the few good ones.

Knoman's Review
Great site but it sure ain't perfect.
Some cons:
They have some total crap videos
Indexing is very sloppy
Misidentified models - way too many
Boolean logic is not used in the search function
Aspect ratio problems with streaming videos
Some "DVD quality" videos, esp. older ones, aren't
But the biggest pro:
I agree with all of your pros and would add the one incredible feature: at $14.95 a month and with 150 videos added per month, you pay only 10 cents per video. Now that's one helluva deal for first rate (for the most part) videos.
I gave it a 90 (see my review for the reasons), but no way could I ever give it 100 points.

I agree completely. They first included the new channels in their search results but unless you committed to the fee for the site the results were just a tease. The notion was not thought through carefully by any stretch. I suspect it may have cost them some business.

atrapat's Review
Great job and the review is spot on to this 3+ year subscriber.
And I agree with the need for an improved search function. There are so many videos where the pornstars are mis-identified (or their names are misspelled) and so many more where the names are simply not provided that the only good way to find a particular pornstar is to go to ifdb.com, get a title inventory and search for the title. But as atrapat says, they have a less than optimal metadata search capability so even that isn't the best answer.
The shame is with 6,000+ titles, they've got some really great stuff that will be lost to all but a very few very determined people who are willing to check out each title one-by-one.

MargulisAZ's Review
Two points to add to MargulisAZ's excellent review:
1. The one major drawback is that about 5% or so of the scenes do not identify the models so the search for Aurora Snow won't result in all of her stuff, just the 74 that were accurately identified.
2. They just passed the 5000 video title total a few days ago. At 1,825 new videos added per year (5 per day), they'll be passing the 10,000 mark by late April, 2011. That's a whole lot of fornicating!

I agree. This is the kind of review that adds to the quality of PU and I'm looking forward to seeing more of your reviews going forward.
As for Video Box, I've been with them for at least 2 years and agree with both you and Denner. There is no site that has more stuff and as frequent an update schedule than these guys (imagine, 1,825 updates per year).
My primary beef with that site (and with many porn video productions in general) is that many of the girls are not identified at all so the search function will not capture all scenes for a particular babe. My secondary beef is that they are getting careless when they do identify the chick so that the name and scene don't match correctly.
Minor issues because it's fun digging thru the archives looking at the stuff and always finding some stunning talent that I haven't seen before.
And the comments for each scene/DVD are amusing, and occasionally useful. Always watch for comments by Rope-a-Dope. This guy has an all consuming passion for porn and seems to have cataloged each and every porn flick ever made...and he's always posting great info.

Spend a few minutes going through the archives and it won't be just your head that will be big. I find old Woody gets very active whenever I go to the lineup on my favorite porn ladies.

Apart from a much cleaner home page, the new Beta site adds a fflash player so you can check out a scene quickly without having to D/L. The flash quality is very acceptible. All members can opt in to use the Beta version.
The Beta also catalogues your d/l's and your flash plays so you can quickly find a scene you recently watched but did not save.
It also has an AI (artificial intelligence) feature that takes your interests and will suggest videos/scenes you haven't checked out yet.
I like the new version a lot even though I wonder how much data they have on me that I may not want them to have.

They have occasional quality issues on VideoBox ranging from forced aspect ratios and discolored transfers. I have seen only 3 or 4 with aspect ratio issues (with about 1,800 full videos per year being added, a few dogs are no big issue.
The color issue (usually a redish tint) is caused by poor transfer from the original but is easily corrected using WMP's color adjustment capability.
Some "early" videos, meaning videos produced in the 80's and 90's, not early loads on the site, are low quality but that's because the originals were lousy (35mm photography converted to video).
The premium membership ($5.00 extra) provides DVD quality at 4+ times the size. A 25 minute DVD quality scene can easily run 500 Mb compared with a "High-Res." vid of the same 25 minute scene is about 80-90 Mb. In some cases the difference isn't worth the huge size but most are clear and crisp inb my 1440 monitor.
At $14.95, sign up and check it out. I am quite sure you'll love it. (I've been a member for well over a year.)

There are many more masturbation videos than are linked to the search feature. That's my only gripe; that the characteristics are not indexed sufficiently to be sure the search feature grabs everything in their huge data base.

Been a member of VB for many months and am very happy with the site. Best price on the web, good assortment of videos. A tad heavy on anal but with 5 new vids a day, that's no big deal.

I've never been scammed this way but am still very wary of it. i have one credit card on which I requested a very low credit limit ($80.00) that I use exclusively for porn sites. I get notified whenever a charge appears on the account is made and pay it immediately in order to leave an open to spend of $80.00.
The few times I sign up for a high amount, usually for a term longer than one month, I will do so only with CCBill or Epoch.

jd1961's Review
Just curious whether this site has any stuff by Candy Barr (1950's era), Virginia Bell (1950's & 60's), Nancy Suiter (1970's) and/or Traci Lords (1980's & 90's)
Also, one of my favorites is the porn musical version of Alice in Wonderland.
I'm thinking about signing up for the 3day trial but thought I'd ask first.
Thanks.

rearadmiral's Review
You said, "Newer scenes also offer a few options that may be of interest to some members. They have ‘bonus clips’ of a trailer, a cut with close ups and a wide angle cut. This may not be of much value to all members but it certainly shows the site’s attention to detail that they’d make three full-length videos of the same scene available. (I sampled a few of these and can say that there isn’t really much of a difference between the primary scene and the wide angle cut.)"
This is a great idea that I would like to see replicated in other sites. More than once I've seen close-up material that excludes some body parts that I would have enjoyed seeing.
One example is how on a basic fuck scene the camera is fixed on the guys tool as he's porking some babe with unwelcome closeups of his hairy asshole. You get an occasional glimpse of the babe's pussy as it's getting the workout. What would be great is to see a long shot of that same scene where the babe's boobs were flopping vigorously and we can see her face and its reaction to the action.

TrashMan's Review
Good, well written review. And I agree totally.
I signed up and discovered that it was all streaming and low quality. I tried to cancel and get a refund but was denied, so I just canceled and let the membership run out. I think I might have gone in once after the first day just to make sure I didn't misunderstand what I experienced the first time. I didn't.
The $10 would have served me a whole lot better if I spent it on a couple of Big Macs. I know I would have enjoyed the cardboard burgers a lot more than that poor excuse of a porn site.

nygiants03's Review
I signed up early in 2006 for one month and was seriously disappointed as well. nygiant's comments match my recollections almost exactly, especially the video quality which isn't really as good as is available on other sites.
I also agree with a 79 score, based on my recollection. It's not a site I am interested in subscribing to again.

ace of aces's Comment
I just visited the site (not as a member) because I got an email offering me a join price of $10 per month. It has a total of 32 models with no indicaton of any more, and the sample clips are all LD (lousy definition) and have copyright dates of 2004 and earlier.
If the site is that stagnant (or if that's the best they can do in promoting their site...use old stuff and not even brag teases like "hundreds of big tit babes"), it sure looks like a loser.
On top of that there is no apparent interest in the site by PU members.
Based on all that I decided to pass. The $10 could be better spent on a lottery ticket, or a couple of Big Macs. I'd get a better return on my $10.

Jay,
In your reply you said "... with the exception of our 12 month membership... "
Does that mean this is your site and that you are the webmaster?

I just discovered this site (via indexxx) and as always I am checking it out on the Porn Users site before I do anything.
I'm signing up today for three reasons:
1. Most important is that the webmaster monitors the PU feedback. That means. to me, he's seriously interested in customer satisfaction.
2. The preview site is excellent and provides a terrific set of examples of what the pay site will deliver. Terrific content.
3. Super PU/TBP pricing. For the price of 6 cups of Starbucks one can get a full month on the site. I expect that the stimulation from W4B will be a whole lot better and lasting than 6 Venti size cups of robust.

I had the speed problem with their site whilst a member about 2 years ago and decided I just couldn't abide by the slowness and the resulting bumping off the site.
With the TBP/PU discount price of $19.95, I may just try again so I can see if the problem has been fixed.

My experience is discussed in a comment I made last August.
All problems were resolved but not easily. There is no support function available to members. Fortunately the webmaster reads posts on the PU site and posted a reply with his email address. He was on it immediately.
I decided not to renew mainly because of limited time, but once I was able to access the site (and the two sister sites) I was impressed with both the quality of the material and the natural beauty of the models.
I hope that the webmaster has since added a support capability to address issues that arise.
