Your first visit to Ten.com can certainly be overwhelming. It's clear from the get go that this is not some amateur site run by Joe Photographer. This is a big bucks, professionally run, corporate site. They feature thousands of videos of the biggest names in porn, Jenna Jameson, Brianna Banks, Monica Sweetheart, etc etc. After a quick glance around the free area, I was anxious to get in and see the hardcore smorgasbord that awaited me.
The Pros
Great-sized collection!
Ten has been around for a while and they've put together a big site. There are currently 1,127 DVDs and they're all at least an hour long. That's more than enough DVDs to keep porn fans busy for a long time.
Good navigation.
Getting around this large site is no problem. They've got a great search tool that lets users select multiple categories and sub-categories to filter down to exactly the kind of movies they want to see. Do so by star, sexual act, physical attribute, sex toy, clothes, location, etc. Combine these categories for a very precise search. You can also simply browse by category.
Other Good Stuff:
Large daily updates. Every day, four new scenes are added to the collection. They even have a countdown clock so you know exactly when the next new movie will be added.
Readers of The Best Porn can join at a special discount price of $20 a month. That's a nice savings off the regular price of $30 a month.
Members get access to 11 additional hardcore sites.
Quick downloads! Using the browser I got speeds of 2.7mbps while using a download manager the videos cam in at 3.8mbps. No waiting needed for these scenes!
The Cons
Non-exclusive content.
The site is predominantly made of non-exclusive content. There might be some original content in here, but most of these movies can be found elsewhere. The pornstars are pretty much everywhere and it's unlikely you'll find anything unique here, although the site is large enough that you'll probably find something you've never seen before.
Must download 2257 for each video before viewing.
Ok, this is a new one for me! Upon clicking on a link to download a movie, a page pops up instructing you to first download the text file of the DVD's 2257 (model age verification contract) before you can download the actual movie. Guess what. You have to do that for every single movie! And every single movie option (for instance, if you download it once for the 1500k video file, you have to do it again for the 1000k video file if you choose to download it). I have never seen this before. I understand adult companies wanting to cover their asses from lawsuits but this is taking things to a whole new level.
Video quality could be better.
The scenes look fine, at 1500k. However, this is a DVD site, a video site. It's time to step things up. More and more DVD sites are making the move to higher quality, even high definition videos. It's disappointing because Ten used to be at the top of the game and this is really average quality video.
Too much scene, not enough DVD.
Everything here is done in scenes. Updates come by scene, searching is done by scene. If you find a scene you like, you can't even click the DVD title to see other scenes on that DVD. The whole updating by scene is particularly annoying because it may take quite a while for the entire DVD to be added, because they'll add a scene today and then focus on other scenes for a few days before adding another.
Minor Negatives:
The member's area had banners and links to other paysites and camsites. They make the site feel cluttered and detract from the overall look.
Not enough scene and model info. Not all scenes have descriptions. There are no file sizes or run-times listed (I later did find the run-times, but they're not on the actual scene pages). Not all scenes have lists of stars. None of the stars have any info about who they are. This is bare bones stuff.
Bottom Line
A fine DVD site, but not the Ten I remember.
Ten.com is a fine site but it is nowhere near what it used to be. They used to be huge, they used to be cutting-edge quality, they used to have innovative user features, and now this is just another DVD site. It's just another DVD site that isn't even keeping up with other DVD sites, that offer updates of 4 DVDs per day (not 4 scenes), larger collection, and are offering higher quality downloads. The search feature here is good, and there is a lot of good-looking porn movies that you can get at a discounted price. I was just disappointed because this was not the Ten I remembered. Basically, this is a fine DVD site and not a whole lot more.
