VideosZ.com claims to be "the largest online movie collection" (well, maybe one of them at least) and they've got a clean and professional site design that wouldn't suggest anything otherwise, with around 400+ movies to chose from and many convenient ways to go about browsing them. Not only that but they offer unlimited downloads for their movies as well and a new movie as added daily. You'll find movies here from the production studios of: Adam & Eve, Devil's Films, Elegant Angel, Jill Kelly Productions, Legend, Red Light District, and Zero Tolerance. With such a great collection of movies one would think that the $29.95 price tag that goes along with it would be worth it, and it is, it's just that with more and more of these movie sites popping up, some of which only charging $10 bucks, nowadays, it's clear that there's some pretty stiff competition here.
You'll notice right away that the member’s area is just like the tour, which is nice, and movies can be searched or browsed by a number of different specifications. Search by titles and actors, or browse through genres, studios, series, new, most downloaded & future releases, pornstars, and more. To boot, there are also a variety of personal features made available, allowing you to add movies to your player or collection for easy access during future visits. All of the videos here are available in 3 different formats: XviD, Mpeg, and WMV, and which one you choose will ultimately depend on your Internet connection.
So far that I can tell, nothing's missing when it comes to browsing this site and/or watching the movies. You can even browse by one certain feature and then sort by a number of others: title, downloads, studio, and release date. Once you have selected a movie to watch, other movies in that same series are available by using a drop down menu. Each scene of a movie is listed along with 3 preview images, and the option for the different viewing formats. Your highest quality option is, of course, going to be the XviD format, which, consequently, will also take the longest to load. Once they do, though, the quality of them is unmatched at 480x360 in size and perfect for full screen viewing. For a somewhat quicker download without compromising too much in quality, the Mpeg formatted option should be sufficient, with an image that doesn't look too pixilated even at full screen size. For those of you still on a dial-up connection, I wouldn't even bother with anything other then the WMV downloads for you'll be waiting around all day just to watch some porn. Streaming at about 300k, these files offer an average amount of quality at a normal 320x240 viewing size, and of course, a much quicker download preview.
Overall, the selection of movies is quite good, offering a multiple of big name titles from some of your more prominent production studios. Whatever's your trick, there's something here that will do that favor and with unlimited downloading access, you'll have quite the home-based archive for many years to come. Daily updates and great navigation features make this site one that's pleasurable to be a member to. The options for download aren't quite what I would pick, but at least you have options and the quality ranges from average to great just as the amount of time it takes to download them ranges from quick to what seems like forever. This is a very clean site and great for all you porno movie buffs out there, I only wish it was a little cheaper.

It's been a year and I have to admit, it's nice to be back! Nothing really has changed here and it's hard to suggest that much really needs to be changed. Of course, I'd like to see a lower price tag, but really, there are plenty of sites out there with much, much less to offer in the way of content quality and site design for just as much. Anyways, their video count is up from last time to over 642+ videos; that's quite a lot! Still a very highly recommendable site; enjoy!
Score increased from 93.6 to 95.2.

It feels like longer than a year since we've had the chance to look at VideoZ, but in fact, it hasn't even been that long. Things are still looking great here, however, with there now being over 1,364+ full-length DVD's to check out! That's about double what there was last time we were here. The price is still on the higher side, but the increase of content and a change in industry pricing standards makes it not feel so high anymore. It looks like they've also added an option for flash AVI and XviD viewing. They do look great; however, I'm still itching for better/more download options that don't include flash, XviD or AVI file formats. How about some nice, super high WMV streams that doesn’t take so long to download in order to view? All in all VideoZ is a huge video site worth checking out, if not for the simple site design and amount of content alone.
Score decreased from 95.2 to 92.5.

Some time has passed and VideoZ hasn't missed a single beat, which isn't surprising. The whopping archive of DVD's continues to impress and your $29.95 monthly membership is looking much more reasonable now that they've starting offering super high quality streams as high as 6000k. They're super nice, as is the 1,815+ DVD collection, which is now growing at the rate of 3 full-length DVD's daily. They’re advertising new Studios that have been added recently, but I'd still really love to see Windows Media formats offered in addition to the already great AVI/Xvid and Flash formats. Maybe next time, for now I'm just enjoying VideoZ for all that is does offer, which is a lot!
Score increased from 92.5 to 93.0.
