New Sensations...sounds like an 80's band/song? Actually, it's a 5 year old website that claims to have set the bar for high quality movie downloads. According to the tour there are "big cocks & tight twats abound in this wild fuck fest." I like their style, it sounds like we're in for some spiced up hardcore action.
Looking at the main member's area, everything's conveniently accessible. Their menu features selections such as: what's new, the photo gallery, an area called Peter's corner, NS (New Sensations) exclusives, movies stills, behind the scenes, video, an interactive area, an online store, etc. The site updates Monday through Friday with an abundant amount of hardcore content as well as some softer content here and there. The NS exclusives currently feature 43 pages of exclusive content (6 girls to a page). Each girl (many famous porn stars and internet models) is listed with a picture, body stats, and exclusive video/photo sections. As well, you can also search content by a model's name with a pull down menu feature. If you click on a girl's picture a breakdown of descriptions for each photo shoot and video is provided. For instance, Tera Patrick features 5 softcore and two hardcore photo shoots as well as 2 of each in the video's section. Pictures are offered in sizes regular and large (in most cases and if not it will be added soon), as well as a downloadable zip option. Unfortunately, even the large picture size is only mediocre in size and I can't seem to understand why an even smaller picture size would even be necessary? Unless you have an ancient computer that takes a day to download a picture I'd suggest not even bothering with the small ones. Aside from the size, the quality is fairly good, they are professional-like photos with nice lighting and sweet views:).
I found the same unfortunate size problem to be the case for some of the videos on the New Sensations site as well. The video section of the site is split in half by 3rd party and NS exclusive girls. Exclusive content is even further broken down into categories featuring: papa loads, sybian video diaries, NS hardcore clips, pretty girls, screamin' O's, NS Matrix video, clip of the week, Peter pops, and NS interviews. Their categorization and layout is very clean and nice for this section, as well as it was for the photo's section. Most movies have three format options (Real Media, Media Player, and QuickTime), as well as 2 speed options (low and high band), but that's not always the case. I found that a good amount of the movies only have the option for Real Media and while that might make them universally friendly, it also might not be worth your time in down loading these. The size tends to be too small and the quality gets very grainy if you enlarge it any. Fortunately, the more and more I look, the more videos I find that give you the three format option. These sections are the sybian video diaries, the hardcore clips (which contains the largest amount of videos of all sections), and the NS Matrix content videos section.
So, to answer the question, has New Sensations set the bar for high quality downloads? I'll have to politely disagree, but overall the site is easy to browse and it appears as though they are working to make improvements to the member's area while also working on making more features available for the videos and downloading pictures. My only hang up with the New Sensations is that the size of the pictures was a bit small for my taste (largest 800x500's) but they do offer a lot of content of some very sexy babes in an easy to use format for $24.95/ month, which seems fairly reasonable.

Review: 06-13-05 |
What used to be a large site on it's own is now even bigger as it has joined forces to bring you 7+ more sites, which are now included with your membership here at New Sensations. As part of the NS All Access Network, New Sensations still brings you a whole lot of average quality content in the same super nice site design and format. What's really great about this, is that the price hasn't changed a bit! And like I said, also relatively unchanged is the set-up here, though it would have been nice to have seen the quality of the content improve. I did notice some hardcore videos streaming as high as 1400k, which is nice, but overall I would have loved to see a larger scale change in the higher quality direction overall. A large site is even larger, offering additional sites and different types of content, but the quality is still rather average. I am really impressed, however, that they haven't raised the price on things here yet, though. (ETA) They've actually lowered their prices for the complete Network (TBP users only), making the price of admission only $14.95 per month - that's quite a steal!
Score increased from 83.2 to 84.0.
