PlatinumPorn is a DVD download site that is gaining a growing reputation as being one of the best sites of its type on the internet, with a massive and quickly growing database of titles.
Unlike the majority of DVD download sites out there, this one offers you a trial even before you take on a monthly subscription fee, for which you’ll only pay $8.95 per month!
PlatinumPorn currently features over 6300 titles at the time of review, but with no photo galleries as you might expect. All videos are available in the WMV format, displaying usually at 640x480 at their highest quality (2400kbps). The site has announced that PSP and iPod formats will also increasingly be made available. The site is generally updated 5 times per day!
The increasingly competitive genre of DVD sites is starting to get even more so and not just because there are more sites. Sites are finding a way to squeeze prices down further, and Platinum Porn has done so.
Not only is it just $8.95 per month, but it even offers a full-access trial, which the vast majority of DVD sites don’t manage to include. Splendidly, this generosity on their part doesn’t affect the quality of the DVDs they have on offer though.
Access to the archives of big companies like Combat Zone and Coast To Coast is a major carrot to dangle, but interestingly most of their titles seem to encompass a relatively small collection of companies and labels, which is no bad thing at all.
There are lots of independent companies used too. The concentration is mostly based on hardcore titles with some token efforts in several niche categories and fetishes. However, the quality is very good and if you’re a hardcore fan, this is a pretty massive archive on a very good price to boot.
The navigation needs a couple of additions so that it can compare favourably with other such sites out there. An index of stars appeared to be missing (or wasn’t easily viewable) and this really is a vital tool that a site of this size needs to be using.
You could view titles by some of the studios that were used, but not all of them. However, the genre categorisation of the videos was very good indeed, and the increase of browsing options is also very good indeed and will bring wider interest too. I’d like to see clearer update information though.
It’s possible that in terms of monthly fees that PlatinumPorn is the best value DVD download site around, especially bearing in mind that they offer up a very fair trial offer as well.
The amount and range of titles was very impressive, meaning that they only really need to sharpen up their navigation before they are right up there with the very heaviest hitters in the genre.
PlatinumPorn has the following subscription fees:-
$1.00 (2 days, recurring at monthly rate)
$8.95 (1 month, recurring)
$49.50 (10 months, non-recurring)
