DVD Box is a "video club" featuring high quality, full-length DVD's for a reduced membership price of just $14.95 per month. They offer over 1,200+ DVD's from genres like amateurs to anal, BBW, interracial, mature, trannies, blowjobs, and more. You'll notice some of your favorite pornstars here like Anna Nova, Aurora Snow, Belladonna, Brianna Banks, Ron Jeremy, Silvia Saint, Dru Berrymore, etc. Videos can be browsed by their different categories, studios, series, &/or pornstar. 2 new DVD's are added daily and the quality is really good, so it looks like DVD Box is an all around winner of a site.
The Good:
- Content is not exclusive, but there is a ton of it and daily updates keeps the list growing by leaps and bounds. There is a nice variety here, too. Lot's of fetish content, gay, hardcore, teens, Asians and Mature.
- User settings allow members to set their preferences, like: favorite categories, downloads, etc. I'd like to see this feature expanded a bit but overall it adds a nice touch to the site.
- The DVD's scenes are listed separately and can be streamed or downloaded between 1000k and 2000k, so the quality is actually very nice.
- A reduced membership price of $14.95 per month doesn't hurt either. It's actually rather inexpensive considering the amount, and quality of content that is being offered.
The Bad:
- Right now you can browse the content by category, pornstar, series, or studio, which is nice but I didn't like how they only list the first/top 20 in an easy to use format, and then the rest are simply listed on a pop-up page with links. It took away from the overall aesthetic of the site and made navigation somewhat difficult.
- For a quality video site, I would like to see more options for stream as well as download. All of the content uses WMV, which I didn't mind, but there are no options for shorter clips and/or variable quality streams.
The Conclusion:
In the end DVD Box is a nice stab at a quality video site and the low monthly price tag makes it all that much more alluring. I'd love to see the site offer more options in the way of navigation and streams/downloads, however. But the quality of the videos is going to score them some points, as will the update schedule, so overall I think DVD Box is worth a look for fans of obtaining their DVD porno online.

Review: 01-27-08 |
Almost a year and a half has passed and it looks as though things are still consistently moving along here at DVDbox.com. 2 new DVD's per day has brought the total number of DVD pornos up to an impressive 2,269+. It doesn't look like they've done any "refining" of the site design since our last visit, but I think I can be okay with that for now. DVD Box is still a top site at a special price. But if they're looking to really compete with the big boys, eventually they're going to need to add more sophisticated navigation & viewing options. I'd also love to see the bitrate quality brought up a bit at some point. With all that said, $14.95 per month is pocket change for a site offering more than 2,269+ DVD's and no limits on download. Don't let the slight drop in score fool you (we've re-structured our scoring), this is still a definite join worthy DVD site.
Score decreased from 89.0 to 88.0.
