Update, February 27 2008
I just rejoined Pix & Video and Club Sandy yesterday - for the first time in probably around six to eight months - to get my hands on the latest lesbian and masturbation videos with a few of my favourite Eurobabes, so I might as well use the opportunity to write an update to these two reviews.
Contentwise these two sites continue like clockwork with a daily video and photoset at Pix & Video and (usually) alternating videos and photosets at Club Sandy.
Still lots of gorgeous East European babes, both old member favourites like Sandy (only at her own site), Sophie Moone, Eve Angel, Jo and numerous others, as well as a regular stream of new - but often already popular - girls. The model list now weighs in at over 400 girls at Pix & Video and slightly fewer at Club Sandy.
Both sites also maintain their mix of masturbation/toys, lesbian and hardcore guy/girl (often anal/DP), and the two former categories should also regularly please those of us who occasionally enjoy or girl/girl and toy porn a bit extreme - you'll usually still get fisting and rather large dildos at least a few times a month.
And now from things that I feel are still as great today as they were when the sites launched over four years ago, onto that other thing that hasn't changed either, but really should have a long time ago... Oh, wait - hang on a second... What the hell?! I don't believe it - they've actually gone and upgraded the video quality back in October last year.
From the almost archaic (but number defyingly decent looking) 400x300, 1000 kbit to, based on the new videos I've sampled, 640x480 with a variable bitrate that seems to be somewhere around 1000-1200+ kbit.
Well, that was about damn time. Alright, so this is still a far cry from the 4000 kbit 720p widescreen videos several sites have adopted over the last year or so, but it's an improvement nonetheless (and few or none of those HD sites really serve as direct substitute options for CS and P&V, so I guess they felt they could get away with less).
Thanks a lot for that 21Sextury. Widescreen HD in 2009 then, please?
Oh, and one final note to end these two review updates. A membership to either Club Sandy or Pix & Video (or both with one of the discounted combo memberships) now includes access to ten smallish bonus sites (anal, DP, big tits, teens, blowjobs etc.).
I've only given them a quick look so far - CS and P&V are by far still the main attractions here - but it looks like they stray away from the typical 21Sextury Eurobabe focus, in favor of assorted US, British etc. well known (Taylor Rain, Julie Night, Riley Shy, Dana Vespoli, Nikki Hunter and more) and unknown girls.
Overall those ten sites look like a fairly decent bonus, and the video quality here doesn't look too shabby either - seemingly on par with or even slightly better than the new format at the two main sites.
2nd look, October 16 2006
Since I'm doing "2nd looks" of two other sites from 21Sextury today, I figured I might as well take the opportunity to make an update to the Pix & Video and Club Sandy reviews as well.
I'm gonna take the lazy route out and use this same text on both reviews, because of the many similarities between the two sites and the shared model archive.
Since both sites were already huge and extremely impressive when I reviewed them back in December last year, there won't be any changes to scores, just this update about the current state of Pix & Video and Club Sandy.
It should come as no surprise that both sites are still going strong with new exclusive content updates every day (and at Club Sandy site hostess Sandy is still appearing in several scenes every month), and neither has missed a single one since the sites were launched in December 2003.
The mostly shared model archive has also grown a bit since my original review, from around 200 girls to roughly 300 - most of them still the usual East European hotties, some doing only solo masturbation scenes, many others lesbian as well, and some starring in the hardcore guy/girl videos that Pix & Video still has a bit more of than Club Sandy.
Also worth mentioning (although I think I did include it in my original review) are the weekly backstage videos at Pix & Video, with behind the sceens footage from two other 21Sextury sites, Asshole Fever and DP Fanatics.
It's actually quite entertaining to watch a hardcore anal scene being shot, both the initial photo session as well as the video.
Club Sandy and Pix & Video remain among my all time favourites, the only thing I really have to complain about is the video quality. It's still servicable thanks to the fairly high bitrate - even in fullscreen - but isn't it about time to get that resolution boosted to at least 640x480? Are you listening 21Sextury?
Original Review
As a sister site to Club Sandy, Pix & Video shares design (barring a few color changes and minor cosmetics), basic concept and for a large part models with its sibling.
A few things set them enough apart that neither one of the sites become redundant. Pix & Video does not have a beautiful hostess participating in a fairly significant number of the videos and photosets (which can be viewed as both a pro or a con depending on how much focus you like placed on a single model), it has even more gorgeous East European babes than Club Sandy - around 230 versus 200, and it seems to have more hardcore guy/girl updates than Sandy's site, although that varies a bit from month to month on both sites.
And the two most important things - there is no shared content among the two sites although the style is similar, and while the daily updates at Club Sandy typically alternates between photoset and video, Pix & Video usually adds a full matching photoset and video every single day - making for downright gigantic site.
All the 230+ returning girls at Pix & Video are from Eastern Europe - Hungary and the Czech Republic, and every single one of them is pretty at the very least, but more often than not closer to downright beautiful, gorgeous or stunning (no, I am not really sure which of those superlatives rank highest - but they all fit here).
Most of them also sport a personality that manages very well to combine adorable with naughty as hell.
There is a good mix of both amateur girls (or at least lesser known girls) and well known and popular girls like Sophie Moone, Sandra Shine, Anetta Keys, Mia Stone and Eve Angel.
As with Club Sandy it is safe to say that the main focus at Pix & Video is solo masturbation and lesbian scenes, but with a healthy dose of straight scenes as well - regularly including anal and double penetrations.
The action here is almost universally hot as hell, and whether the girls are flying solo, with their girlfriends or taking on a cock or two, we are often leaning towards the hardcore end of the scale with big, even huge dildos in the solo and lesbian scenes, and as mentioned anal and DP in the straight scenes.
There is even a fair number of videos and photosets that fit very well under an "extreme insertions" label - how about the lovely, petite Angelina Crow getting the business end of a baseball bat shoved up her ass for instance?
As mentioned in the beginning of the review, Pix & Video has a huge amount of content, with daily updates going back more than two and a half years. The quality of especially the photos is also spectacular and highly professional - perhaps a bit too professional for some as it is clearly a lot more glamour than raw amateur. Personally I love it.
Video quality is ok - a reasonably clear 400x300 resolution that is just about acceptable for full screen viewing, but we have reached a point where an increasing number of other great porn sites have started moving to 640x480, a few even higher, so I am hoping the quality at Pix & Video will get a boost in 2006.
Since the photo content plays a very significant part at the site and the quality here is near flawless as mentioned, I will still give the site an 18/20 score in Content Quality - but it is right on the verge of getting nudged down a point.
To sum up. Pix & Video is best described as a hardcore mega site starring the hottest babes from Eastern Europe, with content leaning quite heavily towards lesbian and masturbation porn, with or without toys.
And it is one hell of a site.
