Since this is my first time then, I'm pleased with their content.
So much so that I will probably keep my membership for an extra month. This will be the first time I do that(at least on purpose).
I do agree with your March 29 conment that although they are on top. They will have to add a lot more variety if they want to keep their existing members. I find the addition of Evil Angel's and Vivid's movies to be a good step in that direction. They need to make more deals with more studios to get access to their content.
I will gladly pay more for a greater variety of content, but in return I will not pay for crappy movies. I just checked and from the last 20 movies added: 2 are Vivid, 1 is EA, and maybe half of the others are worth a quick look at. If my math is good then that means that under my current membership only 8 movies are worth it.

Hi messmer. You are right that normally I would have given the site a smaller score because of the amount of sub-standard or repackage content. In this case I felt that with a library of 6000+ movies. Even if half are less than impressive then that still leaves 3000 movies. The other reason is price. I've been a member of AEBN and
Hot Movies for years and I can guarantee you that, I paid a shit load more cash to stream many of the movies/scenes that are now on my hard drive.
I gave DP Fanatics and Lez Cuties some high scores. Both of these belong to a network that has at least 50% sub-standard/non exclusive material. In their case, the score was because the good content was all exclusive and of such greta quality.
In many ways I feel rather stupid for not having joined Videobox sooner. All the cash that I paid for streaming site makes me a little sick right now.

I'm with you on that.
I've been a member of the site a few times and am one currently. So I've had access to their library long enough to get almost all the back content from their library that I want.
The really do need to start bringing in more new niche content or just something slightly different. I'm probably going to stay a way for 6 months.
I guess this site doesn't deserve all the praise it gets here, but relatively speaking it's still a top site IMHO. We've all seen what's out there and most internet sites are a ripoff.

I found it boring as well. After a while the scenes seemed to be pretty much the same old, same old.

I don't think I have, but unless I've missed something in the rules, I don't think there's a stipulation that says we can't use price as a factor in our reviews. TBP just decided that they wouldn't use it as a factor. I never agreed with that decision but it's not my site and not my call. I know the cost of a site versus what you get for your money is always a consideration with me. Unless it's a niche site that covers that niche well, I expect to get a big menu to choose from. That's why Videobox used to be a 90+ site to me. At first, there was still tons of stuff I wanted for my collection and it was... well.. great! Now, as you and other people are starting to see, it's just more of the same, more of the same, more of the same.
I've thought about the age factor too, and there might be be some truth to it. But, what it really comes down to, is just what all you've seen before. It's only natural that the older we get, the less new things we'll see. But that expsoure to new things isn't uniform. Our reactions to those things aren't uniform either. If that doesn't make sense, let me put up a little almost algebraic-like scenario.
By age X, Person A may have seen all the amateur porn they care to see and they're just done with it. By the same age, Person B may have seen twice as much amateur porn as Person A but still can't get enough of it. (I think I'm person B, by the way)
And that's why I think Videobox keeps getting the reviews it does. At a time when more and more sites are going over the $30 a month mark, they still enough variety and enough content, for very little money, to keep people interested. I do agree that they'll need to expand their content if they want to keep people coming back multiple times. Hopefully they'll see that themselves and do something about it. I just don't expect it to happen tomorrow.
All of this is what confounds the hell out of me when it comes to Brazzer's - sure it's dirt cheap, with plenty on the site - but I don't see near the variety there as I do on Videobox. And it, too, stays high in the ratings.

I guess it hardly needs to be said that I agree. I think these people need to start concentrating much more on quality. From comments on PU it seems they also need to get some decent customer service, and also stop going down the road of trying to trick people into paying for something they didn't intend to sign up for.

I haven't been back to this site for quite a while for that exact reason - it got kind of boring.
And I seriously doubt the people at Videobox care what scores we give 'em, as long as the money keeps coming in. I really don't like equating them with one of my pet peeves sites - Brazzer's - but as long as people jump at a cheap price, there's really no reason for them to stop serving up the same old crap.

Hello fellow pornuser,
It surprises me that anybody actually listen to any of the sound crap, which is added on to porn videos.
It must be @ least thirty years ago when I found that the usage of the 'mute' button vastly enhanced the viewing of porn videos.
...and so it is going to be - for ever!

Hey brother, like you say - where are the erotic ways, where is the "touch"...???
I want to qoute you again on this one:
No foreplay, no teasing (gradual revealing of the body), no story. Arghh. And thanks for letting me vent! :-)
Totally agree...lets hope for better porn-sites in the future...
BTW - just joined Killergram (british) again - there are some good stuff here - not all, by all means, but some fine hc-porn in between. Too bad it's so expensive. BUT it sure is somewhat of an alternative. If you do not know the site - take a look at the preview - it's alright - and the video-files are not that big - and the quality ok...

I understand, I think the quality of American porn is at its lowest point ever. And I thought they got away from the fake body parts of the 90's. And all the tattoed ladies are an immense turn off for me.

In KB/sec I am assuming then you are talking about Bytes rather than Bits correct. Assuming you are talking about Bytes, that is not too shabby! Your 15 Mbit/s connection would kick the crap out of my 3 MBit here at home, but not the 100 Mbit LAN I use :) Anyway Then you would be getting about 200 or so KByyes/s, that is not terrible, but it should be much faster. Perhaps they throttle out of USA connection? I really dont know, but that is too bad it is not fast for you. I have heard of others getting much lower speeds though, down as low as 2 KBit/s! I could understand this affecting their reviews, I dont care how great a site is if you cant get anything from it! I was on the LAN a week ago and got 30 MBit/s for 6 hours from them, but i was downloading from Nubiles too at the same time at another 20 or so MBit/s.

Yes! There is a certain allure to nicely taken photos. And the screaming in any video can get old after a while. I typically watch my DVDs on mute. A soft moan can be extremely erotic, but the screaming bloody murder seen (heard) in so many videos can eventually be a turn off...so I turn it off! :)
Try getting a hold of their customer service, perhaps they have a bad connection across the boarder for some reason and other have had the same issue from Canada. Their site is fast for me, but I will ask how many were you trying to download at a time and what is your actual internet connection speed?
I can tell you that I have never seen more than 12 Mbit/s per connection come from any website period! When I am downloading from the LAN connection I sometime use I am downloading at least 10 videos at a time using 1 connection per video. I can nearly always get at least 40 Mbit/s from them alone.
Or maybe you are just unlucky. I have been unlucky with Brazzers lately and cannot download them from the LAN, but can at home? Go figure!

I think the trick is to re-join when you see they've added enough content with the POTENTIAL to suit you. Fortunately, you can still browse the titles even when you're not a member. For me, they seem to add enough to the many amateur-based series they've got and that's enough to keep me coming back 2 or 3 times a year. Anything else I find outside of that is just a bonus. And yeah, once again, it's just so damn cheap! If I can download 5 or 6 or more DVD's worth of material, how can I complain about $15? Sure beats buying 'em retail!

Last week I made some comments about this site - a site I've visit/been a member of several times.
And every time I get dissapointed - and still go back, weird.
Fellow PU's replied to my comment about VB - good replys.
Now I just read messmers comment - and, man - he hits the nail on the head.
Great words on VB, messmer!

Hum? I have no speed issues with Videobox. They have been a great backdrop for me when another site is giving me fits. There have been many times that I sustained 40 Mbit/s for several hours at a time.
That is the great thing about forums, people do not have to agree and you can rate the site based on your experiences. Mine have been absolutely wonderful with Videobox. The cons I listed are not terrible things and nothing I personally hold against the site, but I thought it fair to mention something at least. I did so because I though they might be viewed as negative to some people. I gladly pay more for better quality, and I would not want to pay for quality I could not use if I were on dial up or something.
They could use some expansion to sub-niches, but they are definitely a straight up hardcore video site, the few videos they do have of other niches could be viewed as treats in addition to the normal stuff.
I do not truly view the cons I listed as major cons, but rather as the slight changes that could be made, but are by no means necessary!
Oh and yes, I love pictures too! Millions of pictures!

Messmer,
In my reply to you that "talked out of believing Bang Bros was behind Videosz".
I also said, "Do you know who the biller was? I only ask because RearAdmiral and I had trouble with echst.net."
Videosz still has nothing to do with Bang Brothers. Neither does the site Bang.com
It's the biller that is doing it and if you look up echst.net you will see they bill for all the Met-Art sites. They do not bill for Bang Bros.
I'm not trying to be hard on you, but I clearly told you about the problems Rear Admiral and I both had with echst.net. They are doing the same thing to you they did to us.
Bang Bros is known for forcing upsells during a membership not charging after you cancel. There are threads in the forum about the problems both Rear Admiral and I had with echst.net

Hey M, good to see you around.
As hard as it is to believe Bang and Bang Bros are in no way related. Bang is a newer massive DVD site like Videosz. Bang and Videosz are owned by the same company.
Do you know who the biller was? I only ask because RearAdmiral and I had trouble with echst.net. They were billing for Bang last year and I wondered if Videosz is using them. Either way, their owners SCTR are a good company by porn standards.

Messmer, I can't agree more - we started to post adult videos back in 1998 when everybody was posting pictures so we try to be ahead of the curve, and I definitely agree that everybody will expect HD material in the future. You already do and I do as well! I'm the same when it comes to TV or movies, I stopped watching non-HD about 4 years ago :)
thanks again for all of your input - I'm handling the content on VideosZ as well and I know we have a lot of good stuff coming, in HD, stay tuned :)

We actually never promised daily HD updates, though we definitely want to get to that point. We have over 700 DVDs in HD now, we added 2 just today and it keeps growing ;)

Sorry, it's 220 HD DVDs since January 2012 and we also added the HD version of a few old DVDs that were already released. We released 29 HD DVDs in May exactly, and like I said, we're planning on adding a lot more :)

Hey Messmer,
we added over 220 HD dvds since we promised to add 100. We're also adding the HD version of some old DVDs right now, so the count is going to get a lot higher. We just received a hard drive today with new HD dvds and we have over 400 to add on the site. We were late the first time, I agree and I apologize but we're not stopping here and we're going to keep adding as much HD as we can - I personally love it :)
PS: you can see the release date for each DVD at the top:
