The world's best porn value, maybe, continues to improve.
Here's the latest membership offers and what you get. First, you can join at $9.95 a month, which doesn't get you the DVD-quality downloads but does get you access to an archive that is now over 6,000
movies
with
a
video
option
that
is
still
not
too
bad. And they're still adding five new
DVDs
a day.
Or, you can pay $17.95 and get the DVD-downloads.
Or, if you join for ten months, you can
pay $99.95 which works out to $9.95 a month and you get the DVD-downloads. This is a good deal and we recommend it because of the crazy update
schedule
and
the
fact
that
you're
likely
to
stay
a
member
for
a
while. Think about it: Over the course of those ten months they're going to be adding another 1,500 DVDs (approximately).
Here's the other thing that's new: They've made two upgrades available to your basic membership, Evil Angel and Vivid Video
channels. The way they work is, you pay $17.95 for each of them and the "channels" are nicely integrated into the basic VideoBox members area. They're on separate pages, but it's the exact same presentation, including the
comments
function
and
the terrific custom scene cutter. Each of these channels updates with three new DVDs a week, and when we visited they were both up to over 100 DVDs already.
Is this upgrade worth it? The Evil Angel content, and more of it, is available out there elsewhere through the network headlined by the
Buttman site. But the presentation here is nicer, and it's cheaper as well.
And
Belladonna
fans
take
note,
because
she
is
really
well
represented.
Over
70
scenes
of
her
already!
As
for
the
Vivid
channel,
the last time we
visited
(admittedly,
quite
a
while
ago)
they
weren't letting you download their content at their
official
site, so this really is a better deal if you're the kind of person (like us) who wants to download stuff and keep your faves on your hard drive.
For a long time these studios were outside the loop of the DVD download sites, protecting their content. For whatever reason (we suspect: $$$$) they've decided to throw their lot in with the industry leader. Making VideoBox even more the Wal-Mart, or Cadillac (choose your metaphor) of the DVD download sites. Are the two upgrade channels worth the extra
coin? Well, strictly speaking the content isn't that superior to the other studios you're getting with the general membership. 6,000-plus movies for $17.95 is a great deal, and it probably doesn't seem right that another 100-plus
DVDs
should cost another $17.95. But on the other hand, if it's not the same great deal it is still a damn good one. More than ever VideoBox is setting itself up as one-stop shopping for DVD downloads.
OCTOBER
2007
RE-VISIT
The
latest
re-vamping
of
this
site,
already
the
best
value
membership
on
the
Net,
offers
some
substantial
upgrades
but
is
mostly
cosmetic.
And
the
cosmetic
part
is
actually
the
stuff
we
liked
best.
They've
re-done
their
logo
and
changed
the
presentation
of
the
members
area
so
that
it
looks
more
like
Amazon.
Which
is
nice
because
it's
like
a
storefront
where
you've
already
paid
for
everything.
We
didn't
think
anything
was
wrong
with
the
old
display,
but
this
way
you
have
more
immediate
options
for
where
you
want
to
go
to,
and
these
are
easily
accessible
from
a
bunch
of
tabs
at
the
top.
The
way
your
recently
viewed
scenes
come
up
and
the
other
personalized
recommendations
based
on
previous
searches
and
ratings
is
also
nice
in
this
regard.
It's
a
bit
"busier"
on
the
main
page,
but
given
how
huge
the
selection
is
here,
moving
to
this
kind
of
interface
was
probably
an
essential
development.
We
always
liked
just
going
to
the
most
recently
added
DVDs,
but
you
can
still
go
to
that
screen
quickly
the
way
they
have
it
now.
The
more
substantial
changes
add
greater
functionality
but
didn't
affect
us
that
much.
The
main
one
is
the
addition
of a
"Watch
it
Now"
Flash
player
option
which
allows
you
to
stream
clips
instead
of
downloading
them.
Nothing
wrong
with
this--in
fact
we
really
like
the
Flash
player
for
streaming
video--but
it's
not
something
we
use
very
much.
We
tend
to
download
everything
we
like,
and
the
previews
offered
through
the
thumbnail
segments
in
the
drag-and-click
tool
are
good
enough
for
us
to
decide
if
we
want
to
download
in
the
first
place.
But
for
those
of
you
who
do
like
streaming
video,
now
it's
here.
Another
upgrade
is
the
fact
that
they've
added
versions
of
the
site
in
six
languages
other
than
English.
Now
you
can
use
the
site
in French,
German,
Chinese,
Spanish,
Korean,
and
Japanese.
Which
sounds
great,
but
again
doesn't
affect
us
that
much
since
we
only
know
English.
Finally,
you
can
do a
lot
of
stuff
with
organizing
and
cleaning
your
personal
history
and
favourites
list(s)
(plural
because
you
can
now
manage
thousands
of
titles
in
several
of
them).
Again:
Great
functionality
if
you
use
it,
but
we
don't.
It's
hard
to
knock
any
of
these
changes.
They're
all
improvements,
though
many
of
them
didn't
affect
our
enjoyment
or
experience
of
the
site
very
much.
Still,
it's
nice
to
see
they're
not
sitting
on
their
laurels
but
continuing
to
advance.
As
we
began
by
saying,
this
is
the
best
buy
for
porn
on
the
Internet.
It's
still
a
great
price
and
it's
still
adding
five
new
DVDs
a
day,
which
is
insane.
The
interactivity
in
the
user
reviews
is
used
a
lot
and
there's
really
a
great
online
community
of
porn
lovers
and
critics
happening.
Given
the
updates,
if
you've
got
the
cash
we'd
advise
joining
for
10
months,
which
gives
you
the
full
DVD-quality
downloads
at
the
$9.95
a
month
price.
In
all
likelihood
you'll
stay
a
member
that
long,
which
will
make
it a
good
investment.
DECEMBER
2006
RE-VISIT
This
isn't
really
a
new
review,
but
there
were
a
couple
of
things
we
figured
we
had
to
update.
In
the
first
place,
there's
been
a
change
to the
pricing
structure.
There
is
no
more
$9.99/month
membership
(unless
you
join
for
five
months,
in
which
case
you
get
a
discount).
This
is
not
really
a
big
change,
since
what
they've
basically
done
is
got
rid
of
the
cheaper
membership
alternative
where
you
didn't
get
access
to
the
DVD
quality
downloads
(the
$9.99/month
package).
Now
you
have
to
get
the
DVD
quality
downloads,
but
it
only
costs
you
an
extra
$5 a
month.
That
is,
IF
you
join
through
one
of
the
links
on
this
page.
It's
part
of a
"review
site"
deal
they
offer.
If
you
don't
join
through
one
of
our
links,
you'll
pay
$17.99/month.
Still
a
good
deal,
but
why
pay
the
extra
$3?
Now,
don't
read
that
"review
site"
membership
deal
and
think
we're
just
a
bunch
of
whores
writing
a
good
review
so
we
can
sell
cheap
membership.
Two
things
to
keep
in
mind:
(1)
We've
always
ranked
this
site
one
of
the
best
on
the
Net;
and
(2)
We
actually
don't
agree
with
"differential
pricing."
There
should
just
be
one
rate
for
everyone,
no
matter
what
link
you
take
to
get
there.
But
. .
.
that's
the
way
they've
got
it
set
up.
So
we
suggest
you
join
at
the
review
site
discount.
The
only
other
thing
that's
new
is
they've
set
up a
review/comment
function
allowing
people
to
post
their
own
opinions
on
individual
scenes.
Even
if
you're
not
interested
in
the
movie,
these
are
fun
to
read.
Bottom
line:
Still
the
best,
and
at
half
the
price
of
the
competition.
APRIL
2006
RE-VISIT
This
is a
short
re-visit
review,
but
it's
full
of
important
(good)
news.
As
you
know,
everybody
loves
this
site.
It
was
voted
Best
Overall
Site
in
2005
by
the
Porn
Reviewer's
Association.
It
gets
top
marks
from
everyone.
And
why
not?
Not
only
do
they
have
great
stuff
at a
great
price,
they
keep
getting
better.
To
wit:
(1)
They
now
update
with
one
new
scene
every
hour,
the
equivalent
of 5
DVDs
being
added
every
day!
That's
insane.
You
literally
have
to
keep
checking
back
several
times
every
day
to
see
all
the
new
stuff
they
have.
(2)
They
now
have
"ultra-high
resolution"
downloads
of
3500
kb/s.
Of
course
they
look
great.
The
only
catch
here
is
that
you
have
to
shell
out
another
$5
to
get
them.
Taking
your
membership
up
to a
whopping
. .
.
$15
a
month!
Or
only
about
half
of
what
a
membership
for
any
of
the
other
major
video
networks
is
going
to
cost
you
(or
pretty
much
any
other
paysite
these
days,
for
that
matter).
But
don't
worry
because
if
that
seems
like
too
much
you
can
still
join
at
the
$9.99/month
rate
and
enjoy
the
regular
download
options
(which
weren't
bad).
And
there
you
have
it.
As
we
said
in
our
last
visit:
"They
took
a
great
site
and
made
it
better."
Which
means
they're
still
the
best,
only
more
so.
Now
if
only
the
other
guys
would
start
giving
them
some
competition
. .
.
FEBRUARY
2005
RE-VISIT
We
have
to
take
our
hats
off
to
the
people
at
VideoBox.
When
we
first
reviewed
this
site
in
2003
(it
was
then
known
as
ClimaxCorner)
we
gave
it
our
highest
ranking
and
named
it
the
best
site
of
2003.
Since
then
they've
managed
to
hold
the
line
on
price--an
amazing
$9.95
a
month--and
improved
in
almost
every
respect.
We're
really
impressed.
They
took
a
great
site
and
made
it
better.
The
first
thing
we
noticed
when
we
dropped
in
this
time
was
that
they
changed
the
download
interface.
Why?
As
we
said
in
our
previous
review,
"This
is
the
best
video
download
interface
we've
ever
seen."
Why
fix
it
if
it
wasn't
broke?
To
make
it
better.
It
was
great
before,
but
it's
fucking
wonderful
now.
Every
scene
is
broken
down
into
a
page
of
sequential
thumbnails.
To
download
a
clip
from
the
scene
of
any
size
you
just
drag
the
thumbnail
from
where
you
want
the
clip
to
begin
and
then
drag
another
thumbnail
from
where
you
want
it
to
end.
Once
you
do
that
you
get
updated
information
on
the
video
size
and
running
time
of
the
download
you've
selected.
Amazing.
You
could
just
play
with
functionality
like
that
all
day.
Next
improvement:
They're
adding
more
content.
One
full
DVD
is
going
up
every
day.
At
the
time
of
our
visit
they
had
271
DVDs
up.
So
think
about
it:
That's
300
DVDs
(if
you
were
to
join
now)
for
$10!
And
you're
not
losing
on
video
quality
either.
You
can
download
in
three
formats,
low,
medium
and
high-res
Windows
Media
files.
Because
the
low-res
really
does
suck,
and
because
the
download
selector
lets
you
choose
your
own
clip
sizes
to
download,
this
actually
makes
the
site
very
modem-friendly.
But
the
rest
of
the
civilized
world
will
be
able
to
grab
the
high-res
clips
which
playback
at
480x352
and
900 kb/s.
Maybe
not
the
very
best
out
there,
but
still
well
above
average
(and
the
equal
of
most
other
good
video
networks).
More
kudos:
The
site
has
great
search
functionality,
solid
support
and
an
impressive
editorial
presence.
They
don't
just
quote
blurbs
from
the
back
of
the
video
box.
Someone
is
actually
writing
original
scene
descriptions.
And
it's
not
just
the
usual
shit.
They
can
even
be
critical.
For
this
low
monthly
rate
it
seems
a
bit
ungrateful
for
us
to
complain
about
anything,
but
we'll
try.
The
classification
scheme
wasn't
the
greatest.
"Features"
seemed
an
elastic
category,
while
"Hardcore"
is
so
broad
as
to
be
almost
useless.
Of
course
you
know
there's
nothing
exclusive.
(But
will
it
be
long
before
some
of
these
bigger
networks
start
producing
stuff
in-house?
We
wonder.).
In
addition,
the
majority
of
the
content
is
still
"Gonzo"
amateur
and
semi-amateur
stuff.
Now
that's
typical
of
most
video
networks.
A
lot
of
the
big
studios
are
nervous
about
licensing
their
content
out.
It's
something
you
have
to
keep
in
mind.
But
since
you
can
browse
through
all
of
their
movies
on
the
tour,
there's
no
excuse
for
not
knowing
what
you're
getting
here.
It's
kind
of
hard
to
knock
a
site
that's
coming
right
out
and
saying
"This
is
what
we've
got.
This
is
how
we've
got
it
organized.
If
you
think
it's
worth
$10,
join
us."
As
we're
sure
you
know,
the
major
competition
is Videosz,
which
has
nearly
three
times
as
many
movies,
is
adding
two
DVDs
a
day,
but
costs
$30
a
month
and
isn't
quite
as
fine-tuned
an
operation
as
this. We
can
think
of
good
reasons
to
join
either.
We
can't
think
of
many
reasons
not
to.

REVIEW
Wow. The people at Climax Corner have really impressed us. We're
going to copy and paste their "About" information from the
Members section and give it to you here. Why? Because we can't argue
with any of it.
ClimaxCorner is a website for downloading adult movies, created by
people who like to download adult movies. That means we offer the
ultimate in convenience with no hassles. No popups, no hidden fees, and
all our links send you to movies you can download.
Our powerful interface is designed to let you find exactly the
movie clips you want. You can download entire scenes (which are around
20 minutes long), to 3:30 clips, to 30 second clips. We have thumbnail
previews that let you see every few seconds of action of entire DVDs. We
categorize all clips, even the 30 second ones. You can search for your
favorite stars, view recent additions, or see what's popular.
All our movies are in Windows Media Format, which lets us give
great compression and nearly universal playability.
We also offer all our movies at 3 different resolutions, so you
can decide which suits your needs.
The extreme functionality here may take a few minutes getting used
to, but once you figure it out it works like a dream (and figuring it
out is pretty easy because there's an excellent Help tutorial). This is
the best video download interface we've ever seen, working great for
both modem and high-speed users. All scenes are fully thumbnailed (and
we mean fully!), and accompanied with good text descriptions so
you can easily choose between 30-second clips or whole movies at three
different resolutions (even the medium plays great full-screen). The
inter-linking and search functions are first-rate. There are also
features that let you search the most recent additions (by category),
most popular downloads, set up a page of your own favourites, offer
feedback, etc.
We won't go on about this. The presentation, which is the one thing
you can't sample from the tour, really is awesome. As for the content,
well you can take the site tour and see what they've got. Basically
everything is divided into nine main categories (though watch out
because there is some overlap). These categories are kind of
general--hardcore, amateur, anal, oral, teen, lesbian, interracial,
fetish, Asian--so you have to go through everything. Because this is an
archive site of professionally produced DVDs, the quality of material is
high. You also get quite a few name stars (Jenna Haze fans take note!).
There's nothing softcore about it. The action ranges from heavy to
downright extreme. Expect a lot of multiple-partner cum-blasting, anal
piledriving, and even some rough stuff for those who like it violent.
Total content advertised is over 620 Gb, which is a lot considering the
quality. It was a little hard to figure out how frequent the updates
are--the home page isn't entirely clear--but there seems to be something
new every few days. And get a load of that price! If you needed any further proof
that your old corner adult video store is a thing of the past, here it
is. All this for only $9.95 a month! You're crazy to turn it down.
Normally we don't give a top score like this to an archive site, but
this truly is an excellent value.
