Torbe High Class is part of the Torbe Network which TBP has reviewed so I'm familiar with this company's style. They have some pretty unique concepts that include the big Torbe dude and lots of foreign models. The guest tour has info on the larger network sites along with video trailers from the Torbe High Class episodes. They don't really nail down an exact niche concept here other than high quality chicks and the shoots include a mix of toy/dildo play along with hardcore action.
The Goods:
- Exclusive Toy/Masturbation/Hardcore Shoots. Videos are the focus of things here with the movies taking center stage and photo galleries serving as supporting material. Content is organized by episodes listed in chronological order and featured are a hot models in solo masturbation, toy/dildo play, and boy/girl hardcore. Along with the sexiness of the models the exclusivity the main selling point as Torbe shoots their own stuff.
- High-Res Vids, Full-Files & Several Formats. The video quality level is high-res as these movies are very sharp. The downloading formats included for each shoot include full-movie WMV (highest res), MPEG, PSP/iPod, and QuickTime. There are 50MB MPEG clip segments as another choice. There is one variation I noticed and that is on some episodes the high-res option is an MPEG instead of WMV (so on those there are two MPEG quality choices instead of the WMV/MPEG set-up that's featured on the others). The file sizes on the movies is pretty big around 400-900MB for the highest quality but I found the download times and speed to be just fine.
- Clear Update & Movie File Size Details. These are some helpful bits of data they post for each shoot. The update info is clearly stamped on the main content navigation page so the additions are easy enough to track. The different video formats have the file size in MB shown which is helpful since there's quite a big differential between the high-res and medium levels.
The Bads:
- Pretty Small Collection of Episodes. The exclusivity is the main asset here in the place of sheer quantity as High Class has a smallish amount of total episodes. No doubt this is best viewed as one cog in the large network but when taking a look at this site as a stand alone collection it could use some growth.
- Steady Updates but Schedule Can Vary. Content dates go back to late 2008 and a batch of them was available upon site launch. Since that time they've been averaging about one update per week although there is some inconsistency from time to time. The longest gap seems to be about two weeks. So in a macro sense they add stuff regularly however the schedule isn't exact.
- Vague Site Concept, Little Model Info. Even after reviewing the site and exploring the tour and member's area I'm not totally clear on the precise niche Torbe High Class is zeroing in on. The older episodes are masturbation/toy solo shoots and the more recent additions are nearly all boy/girl hardcore. This isn't a big negative but I am confounded a bit by the purported theme. The model details are slim in that only the name is shown along with a brief description on the shoot. Further details would help.
Conclusion:
Torbe High Class is best viewed as a part in the larger Torbe Network. Actually when logging in members are initially directed to the hub page and from there it's easy enough to click over to High Class's collection. The exclusivity, sexy models, and high-res videos are the key positives and the small collection of content and lack of model details stand out as negatives.
