Summary
This site is absolutely superb. Put simply, a membership here
should be enough to provide you with all the porn movies you
will ever need. The content is great, the quality of movies
first class, and the site is as user friendly as they come.
The membership fee is also an absolute bargain, just $9.95
gets you access to over 350 complete DVD’s. This site
is worth twice what they are charging! If you're primary consideration
in joining an adult site is for its movie content, then look
no further!
General
Some time ago we reviewed the excellent movie archive, Climax
Corner. For just $9.95 you got a very decent collection of
adult movies in a easy to use interface and a pleasant design.
The good news, for anyone who enjoys movie sites, is that
Climax Corner has evolved! A brand new interface, loads of
superb new movies and the same good value as before.
Content
The main changes to the old Climax Corner site, is the unique
interface used to select the clips you want to download. Its
really clever and makes selecting just the clips you want
to view very easy indeed. In addition there are now over 250
Full Length DVD’s, and the guys are adding one whole
new DVD every single day! Their are also new categories, and
advanced search features to make finding movies you like much
easier than before.
Video’s
This is not a site which features low quality movies. The
stuff here is top notch, ripped from DVD’s and as such
the visual quality is fantastic. The only problem with this
is of course the fact that these movies are large. But anyone
with a decent broadband connection should have no problems.
The range is excellent. The site conveniently splits itself
out by Niche, so you get a long list of topics to choose from
down the side, including Amateur, Anal, Asian, BBW, BDSM,
Big Boobs and so on. There are around 40 different niches
to choose from!
You can
also find movies using 3 other methods.
1. Choose by the studio who produced it (useful if you like
one movie and want to find movies made by the same guys).
2. Choose by Series. Many DVD’s come in series format,
for example Chick Flick #1, Chick Flick #2 etc.
3. Choose by Star. See a girl you like, and find all her movies
quickly and easily!
You can
now add movies into your Favorites, or simply just view all
the scenes in one long (very long) list.
The final
question you are all asking no doubt is what are the movies
like. Well, in a word, Fantastic. Being ripped from DVD’s,
you cannot complain about quality, it is spot on. The range
is superb, they have done a great job of making sure there
is something for everyone.

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 heir movies on the tour, there's
no excuse for not knowing what you're getting here.

How often
have you gone searching for a particular adult video, only
to discover all those fees associated with downloading or
buying them? Despair no more, because at VideoBox.com (formerly
known as Climax Corner) for a very low membership fee you
have access to over 385 adult DVDs, making this one of the
naughtiest boxes we’ve seen in a while
Easily categorized into various themes such as Amateur, Gonzo,
and Interracial, the movies offered at Video Box span a wide
array of arousal. Each of the vids has a number of preview
scenes designed to give you a glimpse of what lies within
the steamy content. One of the most innovative features of
the site is the ability to pick scenes within the actual DVD
and create your own start and stop point. The basically gives
you the ability to splice your own favorite scenes and download
just the parts you want rather than having to take the entire
full length movie.
There
are scenes added daily for existing DVDs as well as completely
new movies. You have the option of streaming the movie, or
downloading it. There are three download options: low, medium,
and high resolutions. The highest resolution (480x352 @ 619kbps)
is quite good and best for broadband connections.
If you’re
looking for a comprehensive video site, then Video Box is
just up your alley. With its daily updates and innovative
ability allowing you to choose your own scenes, this is definitely
a winner and worth the low membership fee!

I love
reviewing sites like this. Nothing’s worse than dealing
with sites laden with links to outside content and dubious
bonus content. At videobox.com there are no such attempts
to pad or fill-out the site with annoying extras. The site
specializes in one thing and one thing only: downloadable
video content. More enticing yet is the price tag. At only
$9.95/month for unlimited downloads, this one looks like a
winner.
As of
mid-February 2005, the site is offering 259 full DVD conversions,
containing more than 1500 individual scenes. Each film is
identified by a number of categories, and browsing by category
is a breeze. Addition, adult series and studios can be browsed
via handy drop-down windows. Overall, the site has good ergonomics
and spares members undue clicking around to access content.
Queuing films for download is a relatively simple affair at
videobox.com as well. The site offers a choice of three video
qualities, giving even dial-up users a chance to take advantage
of the nearly unparalleled value. I’m often annoyed
at what passes as “dvd-quality” video on adult
sites, but here I was impressed by both the overall compression
standard for high-rez flics and the total lack of inflated
claims and sales pitches. All the h.q. films I downloaded
were encoded as windows media videos and played back at resolutions
between 700 and 1000kb/s. Films are divided by scene, however,
so using a download manager is recommended. I found myself
limited to two simultaneous downloads from the videobox server
but was pleased to find that I could still navigate the site
unhindered while doing so.
It’s hard to generalize about the nature or quality
of the films on offer at videobox.com. There are enough little
niches represented to appeal to a wide-range of smut surfers,
but on the whole the site leans toward straight-up-the-middle
hardcore with a strong emphasis on anal. While there are a
number of feature films offered and categories such as femdom,
amateur, and fetish are included, potential members should
expect a relatively meat-and-potatoes approach to adult content.
Big name models and studios prevail.
Unless you’re set on original content or looking for
something softer, there’s little likelihood of regretting
your $10 membership to videobox.com. Other big video download
sites may offer a greater range of content, but in terms of
quality and quantity for your buck, this one sets a new standard.
