I suppose part of it may be the fear on missing out on the odd gem.
This is why we continue to collect, despite having vast amounts of material that we seldom, if ever look at.

I was getting the "page not found" message most of the day. But it seems to be back up and running now. No explanation on the site, but they'd probably tell you what was happening if you emailed them.

That is odd, it isn't coming up for me either. I'm getting the "problem loading page" message. Last time I was member, back in February, they had a couple of days of scheduled maint. Seems like it took about an hour.

I'm not a member, but the non-member preview works fine. I have no problem at all logging on to the non-member area of the site, and looking at the different pages. So the site servers seem to be OK, as far as I can tell.

I can't agree with all of the criticism of VB. It offers an enormous amount of porn of all kinds for less than $7 a month when I renewed for an 18 month membership. It also has a lot more euro quality porn than porn.com that seems to have almost all 2nd rate American porn.

I agree, download speed has slowed CONSIDERABLY the past year and the updates are getting a little boring to the point I don't even check every day or every few days anymore. But as far as video quality, I think it's important to note differences in what viewers want. Reading the comment, it would sound like old-school bang bus videos or something that are extremely grainy. I believe you're looking for High Def, which is what you mean by low quality. Is it high def, I don't know, I always download the "High" instead of the "DVD" options. But for just a casual viewer, even the "high" looks great -- no grain, audio/visual in line, etc. I never noticed that my take on quality must have been a lot lower than high-def regulars until using this site the past couple of years with people digging on the quality of a lot of sites I'm a member of that the quality looks fine to me. If you join Easy Dater and say bad quality, I agree. If you join Bang Bus/Videobox/Reality Kings, etc and say bad quality, I'm like "your standards are WAAAAYY high" (as in you like high-def only).

Have to agree with you Denner. For me this is the most overrated site out there. I prefer the quality and customer service of American Vice as a DVD site. If I were to look at a second choice DVD only site it would be VideosZ. I found the download and streaming speeds were ridiculously low on VideoBox. Members continually talk about the poor customer service and all the negatives you have mentioned here, yet other PU members still love the place. Oh well, just a matter of taste I suppose. I also think sites like 21st Sextury and Porn.com provide the same sort of stuff but in a different way, and as an addition, you get pictures with those sites.

It's what their members want - or at least the vocal ones - whenever there's a scene that doesn't include anal, there's always very highly rated comments complaining about that.

Denner's Review
from messmer:
Excellent review, Denner. You hit the nail right on the head in your cons section. My personal rating for this site would be closer to 80. I just let the four month subscription lapse because I haven't seen anything new and exciting in a long time. There is too much of a pre-occupation with anal and not enough attention paid to fetish and niche material. I know that anal was considered to be a fetish at one time but now, with every second (at least) DVD being anal it's become main stream. Just hope that all the anal lovers will have had their fill soon and we will be able to get something else now and then.

Denner's Review
from Monahan:
Good review. The search process, as Denner says, is virtually useless. name searches return totally random results. If (a big IF) a model is correctly identified with a correctly spelled name in a scene, you have a better chance finding more of that model's stuff by clicking on the cast name in the scene than if you type the name in the search box.
With their huge inventory that grows at the rate of over 1,800 new DVD's per year, it's a real shame that they've failed so badly in the indexing process.
The price is right (esp. for the 1 year membership that I purchased), but the frustration I experience in trying to find scenes with specific babes makes the 85 score posted by Denner a bit high. I am more like an 82 myself.

OK - so you can upgrade a few ways - when you join, you can choose premium channels - and they'll make very clear what the costs are. If you're looking at a scene in a Premium channel and click "Download", there will be a pop-up that will explain exactly what the costs are and you have the option to close the pop-up or to click through to the upgrade with the costs as specified, or you can click on "Upgrade Now" banner in a premium channel and you will get a pop-up describing what the costs are - and again you can choose to click through to upgrade or close that pop-up.
In every scenario, I believe that they're doing a good job of spelling out the costs with little risk of charges that catch a member by surprise.

I joined the EA upgrade and I thought that VB did a good job at making it clear exactly what I was doing when I did it. I believe that it would be difficult for a non-upgrade VB member to be sucked un-knowingly into an upgrade with their current set-up.

Hey Denner,
We double checked to see if any warning was necessary and didn't find anything wrong with how Videobox was offering their premium channels. There was no pre-checked cross sale and the upsell offer inside the members area is very clear. It all looks separated well in the members area as well.
I'll add a note about the premium channel in the site facts, but it looks legit to us.
Let me know if we're missing anything.

Yeah they added a new deal with Evil and Vivid about 6 months ago or more. Once you're a member, you rarely (*never it seems to me*) so Vivid or Evil Angel updates. You can click the tab to see those updates and preview the scenes though. But on just the regular VideoBox page, I haven't come across those updates at all in my regular browsing of the website - and I visit multiple times a day to see every update.

I'm afraid that I've never downloaded anything in standard to compare - since I move my files to DVD, I get the largest ones that I can, figuring that they are the best available quality - I'm happy with the quality that I get from VB

It needed to be said. First he insults him, then he tops it off with a heavy dose of sarcasm. I just thought I'd add some sarcasm of my own.

Have you tried to join lately? I joined Videobox last week, and the only option was in euros, €14.95 through TBP's link. At the current rate it is about €4.45 more per month than the dollar price. I certainly don't like paying this extra, but at least it is less extra than with the more expensive sites which I am avoiding due to this situation.
Even the main page shows the price in euros to surfers from Europe. This implies that Videobox obviously embraces fully the idea of regional pricing and might not be willing to offer the dollar prices to Europeans even if asked to.

Hi Denner,
Thanks for the advice but I do not know how to join using dollars.
I just clicked on their join page and everything is in Euros.

Yeah, the "DVD" quality is very uneven. For someone on a budget I would recommend joining the "normal" USD10/month. Problem is that you get reminded the whole time to upgrade and in the end it's hard to resist..."it's only a few dollars more"! :-)
But as you said, browsing around videobox is still very enjoyable. I keep returning.

I agree with almost all of your comments Denner but I am still not convinced about the "HD" or "DVD" quality vids.
They are clearly not DVD quality and not even close to real HD.
