When I first saw we were reviewing Playboy Live VIP, I thought we might actually be seeing Playboy Bunnies live. While that is not the case, this live cam site still has plenty of cuties for your viewing pleasure. This unique site combines a pay-per-minute live cam structure with all the content you’d expect on a stand alone paysite (like photos and videos).
The Goods –
There’s a lot to see here even besides the cams. In addition to all the live cam babes, their archives section contains over 22,000 photos and 827 videos. Just as you’d hope on a regular paysite, the content is well-organized. It is also updated daily. It looks like around four new clips are added to the video section every day, keeping the site growing fast.
There are some cool user features when viewing a show. When you’re in a private show, you can control the cameras of many of the models. You can zoom in on whatever you like, pan the camera, and turn up the volume.
I counted over 40 models currently broadcasting during my visit which isn’t bad. It may not be as big as some of the mega-camsites, but there are enough online that you should be able to find someone available who catches your interest.
The Bads –
Viewing shows can get very expensive quickly. It’ll cost you a whopping $6 per minute to participate in a private show! That is definitely one of the highest rates I’ve seen for a cam site. When you consider that you’re already paying $30 a month to access the site, it’s not easy to shell out an additional $6 per minute to enjoy the cams.
I’d like to see a few more browse features. You can browse the models alphabetically and by who is online, but there’s no way to search through the girls by physical feature or what they like to do in a private show. It’s a pretty basic set-up for having a decent number of models online.
Video quality was average. Some of the girls had nice, smooth pictures and with others the action was choppy. None of the shows I watched really looked bad, but none were really excellent either.
Conclusion –
I had high hopes for this Playboy production and ultimately I think it’s a rather average site. I looked at the site in two parts. First off, the cams. $6 a minute is simply too expensive. There are plenty of others out there charging much less and nothing stood out to me here as making it worth the extra cost. Then there’s the archive section of the site. You’re paying $30 a month for this and the good news is that you are getting original content updated daily. That, I like. So ultimately, the site is a bit of a mixed bag. You can definitely have a good time here, if you can handle the price.
