Pier 999

  Video quality needs work.

The videos here just don't look that good, even in terms of the more recent updates. They're very small, and look like they were shot several years ago. The few in "high quality" that they have look better, but even those aren't quite up to the standards we're used to seeing.

  Stopped updating in January, 2010.

This was news to me as they just posted a small note in the member's area, but it looks like they are shutting down operations here for one reason or another. No updates have come in the last two weeks, and the note makes it sound like nothing else will be put up going forward in terms of new content.

  Pretty severe airbrushing at times.

The newer stuff isn't quite as bad, though you can still see it for sure, but the older material has that plasticky look to the models which is just way overdone. I'm all for clearing up small issues now and again, but this goes overboard.

Minor Negatives:

• A large majority of the videos only come in medium quality for some reason. They look pretty bad overall, and then it just gives you that many fewer options. Why not offer all three all the time?
• The downloads here came in about 1/3 of our normal speed at best, and down to about 1/30th of our normal speed at worst. With a download manager, it was bearable and kept things more consistent at least; but if you're stuck with a single download through your browser, expect long wait times.
• They label the high-quality videos as "HD" when that's not the case at all. They're SD for sure, and not even the best SD quality I've seen.
• There's no info on the scenes in terms of descriptions, and the models have only 2-3 pieces of info with no real bio on them. It's an opportunity for personality that was missed.
• For some reason, they don't offer any streaming or Flash videos, which may annoy some.
