PornAccess.com is our latest review in the new class of AVSs. What differentiates these networks from other AVSs is that these are almost entirely dedicated to videos and all of the content on all of the sites is supplied by the AVS, not individual webmasters, though it is the webmasters who create the actual sites. In general this setup is good news for surfers. AVSs of late have been reduced to little more than dumping grounds for old content. This new system guarantees members a minimum level of quality that other AVSs cannot provide.
PornAccess currently lists 314 sites containing a total of 3,443 videos. Though this figure far surpasses what you'll find on most individual paysites, in the AVS world it's on the low side. There are two reasons for this. First off, this collection is quite new. Second, it's quality and not quantity that matters here (though when you think about it 3,443 videos is still a huge collection). Thankfully they make it very easy to find your way through these sites to the ones that interest you most. You can browse by category (largest category is hardcore), actor and studio, as well as view the newest sites and the most popular. The design is clean and the entire navigation process is a breeze (just enter your password once to access all 314 sites).
Though the design of the individual sites may differ, the content setup is identical. Each video is presented with three viewing options, 257k, 540k and 1,063k that can be streamed and downloaded in Windows Media. I was a bit surprised to not find more options actually, specifically the option to watch the movie in clips as well as in one long file. Most of these videos average around 20 minutes long; it would be nice to be able to jump straight to the sex scenes. However, I was pleased that they supply so much information about the videos including a scene description and screenshots. Video quality was very good and the scenes look great at full-screen. The movies aren't exclusive but there are over 50 studios represented here so hopefully some of the videos will still be new to you.
Because this type of AVS/network is still new, there aren't a whole lot of other sites to compare PornAccess to but let's see how it stacks up against DeluxePass, a similar video AVS. They're both $30 a month which is no small change but that seems to be the going rate for most video paysites so they're even on that. In terms of size, DeluxePass boasts 8,874,572MB of content while PornAccess whizzes by at 11,000,000MB. Interestingly, DeluxePass actually has more than twice as many sites (800 to PornAccess' 314). While DeluxePass may have a greater variety of content, I've got to give the quality edge to PornAccess with their consistant 1000k video, as well as download and streaming options (DeluxePass is download only). It's a close race but I think overall I've got to go with PornAccess as the winner.
PornAccess.com is a great option for anyone looking for a complete broadband porn experience. They've got a huge collection of good quality video that is organized well and can be saved to your computer. I think that's basically what most video surfers are after. It ain't cheap (for quality video at insanely cheap prices that award always goes to Climax Corner) but I suppose $30 a month is fair. I'd definitely recommend giving PornAccess.com a look next time you're in the market for a quality adult movie site.

Porn Access has had a year to settle into its role of premium video AVS and it looks like they've done well. The number of sites has increased from 314 to nearly double that at 595. The number of included dvds has jumped from 4,191 to 4,481 and (if you prefer to look at it this way) the size of the collection has grown from 17,100 GB to 19,757 GB. The small size relative to other AVS's was a negative point in my original assessment of the site so it's good to see this kind of growth. They've also redesigned the member's area so it's even cleaner and more user-friendly than before and I believe the keyword search feature is new. Best of all, Porn Access has a special offer for readers of The Best Porn. You can now join for $15 a month instead of the old price of $30 a month. That's a fantastic bargain for this collection! I still really like what I see here. Especially with this new low price, Porn Access is a good join for video fans.
Score increased from 86.4 to 87.0.

With over two years since our last look at Porn Access, this large collection of video sites has grown into something huge. There are now over 1,300 sites included (up from 595) and over 10,400 videos (up from 4,500). Updates come constantly so there's always something new to see. Video quality has been upgraded, with new movies playing at 2000k. They definitely look sharp, if not quite DVD quality. I'd love to see a few more navigational features, although what they have is perfectly functional. With the special discount price still in place, it's a no-brainer. Porn Access is still a great join for those in the market for entertaining hardcore DVDs.
Score remains at 87.0.
