Unlimited Pass is a network of 19 websites covering just about every major niche and fetish you can think of. They've got schoolgirls, grannies, trannies, Asians, bbws, lesbians, cumshots, bdsm, anal, and more. It's pretty much your one stop shop for all kinds of hardcore action. If done well, networks like this can be a really great value. We're talking buy one get eighteen free! Even with the potential problems, these networks really deserve a close look for the sheer discount of it all.
Each site is set-up identically with only the colors and graphics changing. The most recent six updates on each site are easily found and I was pleased to see that they actually put dates on them so you can tell exactly how often each site is updated. Speaking of which, updates seem to come frequently amongst the 19 sites although weeks may pass on any individual site before anything new is added. Anyhow, I found the design to be clean and attractive. They don't have any cool search or browse features, but I just appreciated the fact that the sites weren't cluttered with banners and upsells, as so many networks like this are.
Most of the sites have in the neighborhood of 150 galleries, each containing around a hundred pictures. They're not exclusive, I definitely recognized quite a few sets from other sites, but my main gripe about the photos isn't their overexposure, it's their size. All of the images are displayed at a pitiful 375x500. This is just way too small! Even though the quality may be fine otherwise it's difficult to take this collection seriously when they're relying on such scaled down pictures.
Thankfully the news is much better in the video section! Each site has around 40 videos, each 15-20 minutes long. The movies are WMVs that can be both streamed in your browser and downloaded to your computer at an impressive four quality levels, 56k, 150k, 340k, and 700k. Members also have the option of viewing/downloading the entire movie or just grabbing the segments that interest them most. Considering the simplicity of the photo section, I was very surprised and impressed to find so many video features! Quality is also greatly improved in this section of the sites. For the "ultra" quality 700k clips, video gets a smidge fuzzy at full-screen but you can still enlarge it a good bit and still have good quality professional looking movies.
Unlimited Pass succeeds in several areas. First off, I think they've got the quantity and variety that a good network needs. They've created some attractive sites and have done well not to bombard members with upsells. The video options and quality are also quite impressive. The cost is very fair at $30 a month for such a large collection of sites. I think the weakness, however, is the lack of exclusivity and personality. We're basically talking about generic porn scenes that have been nicely arranged in a series of niche-based websites. This is material that can easily be found elsewhere and it lacks any kind of hook to differentiate itself from the rest of the porn universe. Or maybe I'm just asking for too much from a porn site because, really, if you're just after some decent spank material Unlimited Pass is certainly as good as any other.

Review: 03-27-07 |
In the two years since our last visit to Unlimited Pass, the number of sites included has grown from 19 to 39, a very nice boost! They claim that within the network you can access 6,577 full-length movies, so there's definitely a lot to see here. Three or four videos are added across all sites daily and they make it easy to jump straight to the newest scenes on the network homepage. Not all sites are updated regularly, but there is something new at least every day. Video quality has also gone up since our last visit. Movies play in three speeds, up to 2400k as mpeg full-length videos and up to 700k as wmv clips. Again, I'm impressed with the options and I'm glad that they're keeping up with current quality standards. Even the pictures look better at 972x679. They've made a lot of improvements. Unfortunently, that comes at a cost. Membership is now $40 a month. Ouch! That's awfully high, even for a network. Pricing aside, I'm a fan of Unlimited Pass. They've got a huge, good looking collection that deserves a look if you can swing the cost.
Score increased from 79.4 to 80.5.
