Pros
+ 601 downloadable hardcore DVDs and counting is a pretty neat collection of porn, but...
+ As I've said before with at least a few of these DVD download sites, it intially seems like they are fighting an impossible battle against the largest ones, VideoBox and VideosZ (the former now far ahead all direct competition in terms of volume, hitting 2000 DVDs in about a week, thanks to its speedy update schedule).
Size isn't everything though (or so I've been lead to believe anyway), and after having browsed through a fair part of the DVD collection at VideoHub, it does look like they have a whole lot of movies I don't recall seeing on any of the other sites, many are even labeled "VideoHub Exclusive", although I have a feeling that might be a slight exaggeration, at least if you also take pay-per-view sites like AEBN into account.
Whether or not these movies are any more interesting than the ones the other sites have but VideoHub doesn't, is entirely a matter of opinion though, but many of them definately fit my idea of entertaining hardcore porn spot on, and I also found a number of videos I hadn't seen before with some of my favourite girls.
That alone is at least enough to warrent a closer look (and as usual with these sites, guests are free to browse the entire archive) before you decide whether your final choice will be VideoHub or one of the other DVD download sites
+ Three new DVDs every other day
+ Very good video quality. The DivX (avi) version looks really good at 640x480 and around 1300 kbit, and with video files in a more manageable size (if you're only on a low to medium speed broadband connection), the Windows Media (wmv) version isn't too bad either at 640x480, 450 kbit, although the low bitrate here obviously make this version a bit blurry and pixilated.
Aside from individual scene downloads, there's also an option to download each full DVD in two files. The avi version is adjusted in quality so each file doesn't go above the 700 Mb you can fit on a CD. Since harddrive space is dirt cheap these days, I don't really see much point in downloading these full DVD files clearly intended for CD burning (I would hate having to fit my 180 GB porn collection on CDs), but there's obviously no point in complaining about having the option
Cons
- I pretty much already covered the main issue above. Volume. Viewed on its own merits and not held up against the competition (but that's obviously more or less unavoidable with these DVD sites), VideoHub is certainly not a small site in any way or shape
- This is one of those (fortunately still very few) sites where the owners apparantly think us Europeans are too stupid to notice that we're effectively being charged around six dollars more than our American friends on the one month membership (today's USD/Euro exchange rates). Fortunately the price remains within the acceptable range in this case.
Still, that's one point off the value for money score just because this pisses me off a bit
