I'm certain you've all heard of Penthouse Magazine? And just like everything else these days, they also have a website. Penthouse.com is where you'll find more than 300+ Penthouse Pets of the past and present (from 1973 on), as well as plenty of bonus galleries, behind the scenes, videos and plenty of extras for $24.95 per month. All updates are logged and dated, and something new is added daily. For all your favorite Penthouse Pets online, there's no denying that this is your one-stop-shop.
The Good:
- Every Penthouse Pet is featured here from 1973 on and can be browsed by date (year then month), or by name in alphabetical order. In total there are more than 1,171+ models that appear on this site, some of which are online exclusives. You'll also find more than 119+ Penthouse videos, 66+ Behind the Scenes, and plenty of extras. As a bonus, live chats are offered each week and previous live video chats are archived for you to check out.
- Site design is smooth offering plenty of options no matter what your pleasure. Models are offered in alphabetical order with the Pets in a separate text color to distinguish them apart. You can also browse the Pets by year. Video and image galleries are broken down into categories and a search feature is offered at the top of the page.
- The newest image content (2004-2005 on) is offered in 5 quality formats and as large as 4000 pixels - they look awesome! There is some inconsistency throughout, however, and older sets come in at a meager 640x480 pixels, but that's to be expected. Zip files are also offered for the sets.
- According to the updates calendar, new content is added daily.
The Bad:
- Video quality could use some vast improvements. Streams only go as high as 500k-700k and there aren't enough format or quality options. Videos are broken down into parts without the option for a full-length download.
- Older images are small and not the best quality.
- I would have benefited from a more expansive search feature and wished there was bio/content information for more of the models/sets.
The Conclusion:
Penthouse.com is the official Penthouse site and if you like your monthly dose of Penthouse Pets and other online exclusives then this is your place to get it. Newest image size and quality is awesome, however, the videos leave a lot to be desired. All in all this is a good source of content and the layout does a pretty good job at showcasing it. Obviously this is a must join for big-time fans of Penthouse Magazine.
