Update, December 20 2007
With the latest few videos, Prime Cups as well as the two other reviewed sites from the same guys, Ass Traffic and Tamed Teens have gotten another significant quality boost. A very significant quality boost.
The new optional fourth quality is full 1080p HD (1920x1080) at an incredibly high 8000 kbit bitrate (as opposed to the 720p, 1280x720, 4000 kbit that's common for nearly all the other, still relatively few, porn sites that have moved to HD video), so for those of you fortunate enough to be in possession of
a) a large 1080p HDTV connected to your computer (whether directly or through eg. Windows Media Center, an XBox 360 Elite or some other method), or at the very least something like a 22" 1680x1050 widescreen monitor or larger
b) A very fast Internet connection for the downloads (or admirable patience, 30 minutes of video clock in at around 2.5 GB)
c) A pretty powerful computer to get fluid video playback
you now have the option of watching hardcore anal and double penetration action in ultrasharp quality (or wonderful crisp closeups of huge, beautiful boobs - and anal/DP - if we're talking about Prime Cups).
As mentioned, at the time of writing it's only the latest 3-5 videos on the three sites that are available in 1080p HD (and for some reason the very latest one on Ass Traffic isn't), but another few months and I imagine there should be a fairly neat HD collection on each of them.
Original Review
Pros & Highlights
+ I'm reviewing two sites from the Ass Traffic people today, Prime Cups and Tamed Teens, and I think I might as well start out both these new reviews by saying that I enjoyed these two sites almost as much as Ass Traffic, the only area where they are really behind is volume, as they are both nearly two years younger than Ass Traffic
+ You might have noticed the slightly confusing mix of review categories and keywords at the top of page, overall though, Prime Cups is mostly about beautiful babes with huge tits getting fucked by one or several guys, including anal in a fair amount of scenes and double penetration in some.
Particularly the oldest videos on the site were mostly solo masturbation episodes though (all pretty hot, but if you're looking for masturbation/toy sites there are vastly better offers, here they merely make for a nice addition if you like that sort of thing) and even a couple of lesbian ones.
+ Just as Tamed Teens, Prime Cups is also around a hundred video/photo episodes short off Ass Traffic, but 95 of them certainly ain't half bad. Here you also get one new full episode every week
+ 71 girls, most of them ranging from pretty hot to really fucking hot, and needless to say, whether you prefer natural or fake tits (or just happen to enjoy both like yours truly) you'll find a lot of amazing pairs at Prime Cups. And it certainly doesn't hurt that the sex is usually pretty damn fantastic as well
+ Great video quality on nearly 50 of videos. Tamed Teens was the first of these sites to offer a fantastic looking 960x576, 3000 kbit quality version (right between DVD and 720p HD quality) of all videos, but it was introduced at Prime Cups and Ass Traffic a few months later.
If those downloads are too large for your Internet connection to handle (since the videos are rather long, often over half an hour, you're looking at 650-800+ MB downloads), there are two lower quality full versions as well, plus low quality partials.
You can also simply click one of the preview pics for a video to stream it in an integrated Flash player on the site
+ You get both photos and video stills with every scene. Quality on the photos is great and decent on the videos stills (though not the huge 1920x1080, 1080p HD stills I've seen on Ass Traffic, at least not in the screenshot sets I downloaded)
+ Great site design, both in terms of looks and functionality. Similar to Ass Traffic and Tamed Teens
Cons
- Updates could be a bit faster, but one a week isn't really unusual for a site of this type. It looks like several updates a week can mostly only be expected from "mega sites" (well, I guess those speedy updates are what helped them qualify for that label in the first place) and niches like babes, lesbian and masturbation, though there are exceptions of course
- Yep, I'm still a little pissed that these guys are charging me significantly more than US members, just because I happen to live in Europe. Because of the low US Dollar at the time of writing it's actually around a whopping $12 more, making these sites probably the most expensive paysites I've ever joined.
If you live in the US you'll only be charged the typical $29.95 paysite "standard price", and since this is a review site it means I'll be generous and only knock one point off the value for money score, though if I viewed it strictly from a European point of view I would be more tempted to make that around three points.
The €29.95 European price tag does make Prime Cups rather more expensive than the competition, even if you view it the other way around and say instead that other paysites have gotten cheaper for Europeans because of the exchange rate
