Erotic Movie Xchange (EMX); wow, this site is expensive! $39.95 per month gets you over 4,400 scenes and 1,500 hours worth of video content, though. That's quite a bit of content considering that each scene is about 20 minutes in length each. There is no additional content here and though the site design is professional and offers a few nice browsing and search features, it's quite advanced actually. But what really matters here is the actual content and the quality of it, if you ask me, so we'll start there. With so many great video sites out there these days, it might be somewhat hard to compete but I try to keep an open mind. It's also just been brought to my attention that EMX advertises itself as a "free access" site with "no commitment necessary" and "zero hidden charges", offering you sign-up bonuses like free movie previews and screen caps, but when you download a video your credit card does get charged. And not just charged, $39.95 charged, now how's that for grabbing you by the balls?!
On the main member's page you'll find the top 10 downloads as well as a list of suggested downloads. All videos here are offered in both high (576k) and lower (256k) quality formats. You'll find old school classics here like John Holmes, as well as midget movies, hardcore, interracial, fetish, gay, lesbian, cartoon, anal and more. The site design here is probably one of the best things they have going for them so far, except that you can't search the videos by actor/actress in alphabetical order. Their advanced search feature is very nice though, you can search by niche or keyword, physical traits, description, movie title, etc. Categories are conveniently listed on all members’ area pages, making it easy enough to find the type of content your heart desires.
Now that all the good stuff has been said, let the site bashing begin; not really, I'm only kidding. Although, I do find it such a shame that there are not more than 2 options for downloading the content (high and low), neither of which is impressive quality-wise and could take forever for those of you on slower connections who would like to check out a couple of clips before downloading the whole shebang! Obviously there is a lot of content here, most of it good stuff if you like straight fuck and suck videos and porno movies in general, but seriously here guys and gals. You can find great video content elsewhere on the Internet, places like Climax Corner and Ten.com, where they won't try and scam you to spend money on their site in the first place and don't charge an arm and a leg for their licensed video content, while offering a plethora of viewing options. It's also important to add that there are liscense restrictions on this site, meaning that you can only watch the movies you've downloaded if you're an active member to the site. Just because you have a great search feature, doesn’t make you a class act video site.
