COMPANY SITES
The other company sites:
The Site:
Videobox MEN is your online resource for gay porn DVDs. Featuring an extensive collection of videos, this site gives you access to high quality video downloads inside a very well-designed and well-organized web site.
The Content:
For your gay porn video fix, VideoboxMEN is probably one of your best bets. Aside from a great site design and interface, they also have high-quality download-to-own videos, all at a very affordable price.
One of the remarkable things about VideoboxMEN is that the tour site is also the site's primary interface for the members' area as well. Even if you do not have a membership yet, you can browse around the site to see all the current DVDs available for download. You are basically free to roam around the whole site, though your actions are limited only to those activities which will not require a log-in. In summary, you can go anywhere you want but you can not download videos, access Your Favorites, nor submit a review rating.
Once you have logged in though, you will be able to access all of the sites content. As of this writing there are 1,100+ full DVDs available. Each title has about four to six scenes, each scene running about 25-30 minutes. Downloads are available on a per scene level, though because of a unique programming way those guys have come up with a brilliant site feature that enables you to download EXACTLY the parts of a scene you want to download. So that can be the full video or just a snippet of the scene (say the last 10 minutes). You just have to indicate the starting point and ending point (from which frame to which frame you would like to see) of the scene you are looking for using simple drag and drop and based on that, you would be able to download your custom-sized clip. Isn't that cool? This is very useful especially if you are still quite undecided, or if you want to get the High Resolution videos, but are afraid to download in one bang because of the large file size. Even though I tried to explain it as good as possible I would simply recommend you check it out on the site after having read this review. Regularly, the videos are available in 3 quality settings: High (480x352, 2378 kbps), Medium (320x240, 854 kbps) and Low (192x144, 132 kbps) Resolution. However, for an additional $5, you can get these videos in DVD quality and resolution, 720x480, 9090 kbps!
Navigation is pretty simple and straight forward, The navigation bar on the left side is especially helpful because you can easily jump to either a specific gay porn sub-niche or "Category", a specific "Studio" you have in mind, the "Actor" or "Series", or a specific episode or scene you might be looking for. Regarding the update schedule, these guys add one DVD every other day, so there's really no complaint here even though this schedule is not as advanced as their straight version (VideoBox) which adds 5 straight DVDs each day - you have a goal here guys ;).
The Criticism:
I think the criticism here would be that the site not yet seems to get the same love as the straight version of Videobox MEN. With that I mean the amount of available DVDs and DVDs being added. Even though they have already a lot of the very popular gay porn titles it still would not hurt to sign a few new studios. This does not mean I would not recommend GVB... hell no. The opposite is the case - read why. The best is yet to come.
The Conclusion:
For me, the best feature of VideoboxMEN is actually the fact that it is available at such a low price, and yet the value you get in return is so good. At $9.95, you get the Basic monthly subscription (yes, 30 days, not a 3 day limited trial or something), which is basically the regular fee with the regular video options (High, Medium, and Low). However, for an additional $5.00, you will also be able to download the super-HQ videos. Personally, Videobox MEN is highly recommended, and if you have some spare bucks and a good net connection to boot, the Premium membership (that's the one $14.95 one) is something that you might like to try, too.
