3X Mpeg is a hardcore video website offering exclusive extreme XXX movies. Nothing is held back here, not even on the tour which shows sample pics that are more hardcore than what many sites even feature in their member's areas! The tour design is pretty slick and definitely had me wanting to see more of the nasty action.
The movies are organized into categories which makes for easy browsing. The categories are exactly what you'd expect from a hardcore video site. Anal, facials, amateur, interracial, lesbian, teens, and a few fetishes are all offered. Things actually get pretty extreme in a few of their fetish sections. Aside from the fisting, pissing and painful looking bondage, there's ass stretching and some pretty bizarre object insertions. One chick even uses an inflatable dildo that she pumps all the way up in her pussy. I was really impressed with the variety of consistantly hardcore themes, and the fact that all of the videos are exclusive is just great. You should keep in mind, though, that this is a foreign-run site. The shaky English translations of the video descriptions will be your first clue but it's also evident by the heavily accented dialogue in the movies. That's not a really big deal, I mean I doubt you're watching these clips for the witty repartee, but it's worth mentioning nonetheless.
The collection currently includes 188 videos with a new one added every three to four days. They range in length from five to twenty minutes but most are right about twelve minutes long. Keeping the name of the site in mind, it should come as no surprise that all of the movies are offered as mpegs. I'm usually a fan of multiple format options but they're pretty clear in the site title about what you should expect. The videos can be both streamed and downloaded. Unfortunently, the download speed was pretty slow. The file that I watched downloaded at 70kb/sec and took at least a good ten minutes (the second file I downloaded took over 30 minutes). It would help things if they also offered segments of the video for download rather than just complete long movies, but in all honesty if I have to choose between segments and complete vids I'll choose the complete ones every time. Users are just going to need a good connection and a lot of patience to watch these movies. Although the videos play at a very impressive 1392k, they're not as clear as I would expect from that number. They're a little bit blurry when enlarged much. Don't get me wrong, these are still good quality movies but I don't think they're quite as good as the number indicates.
Members of 3X Mpeg also get access to the Explosive Pass network. This is a collection of four bonus sites also offering hardcore videos. I looked around the network a bit and it seems to me that the other included sites are simply niched versions of 3X Mpeg, meaning they contain the exact same videos as 3X Mpeg. Obviously, this doesn't add any value to this site.
Overall I've got mixed feelings about 3X Mpeg. They've got a good sized collection, regular updates, all exclusive hardcore videos, and a fair price of $25 a month. Unfortunently, considering that this is a video site I felt that it lacked many things. First off, I was disappointed to find no format, quality, or segment options. Second, the download times were simply too long. Third, quality could be improved. These are pretty major grievances considering that this is a video-only website. I have to say that at this point, I think there are better sites out there for this niche. 3X Mpeg is by no means a bad site, particularly for those looking for some extreme exclusive videos, but I think there is a lot of room for improvement.
