Pros & Highlights
+ High Def Movie Pass is a hardcore guy/girl video site with a reasonable amount of content. Unfortunately it's a let down in several areas, so I'm forced to put the brunt of this review text under the cons below
+ There's nothing wrong with the videos themselves, with plenty of beautiful pornstars (eg. Haley Paige, Jasmine Byrne, Rebecca Linares, Katja Kassin, Marie Luv, Rita Faltoyano, Lanny Barbie, Jayna Oso, Katsumi and several others) getting fucked by one or occasionally two guys. There are a few videos with two girls sharing a cock as well
+ The "high def" claims unfortunately only apply to a small (and seemingly static) selection of the videos, most of the rest merely look pretty good at 640x480 or 720x480, 1100-1300 kbit (bitrates are a bit on the low side). The oldest 15 videos or so look pretty damn horrible at only 320x240, 500 kbit
+ Looks like a couple of new videos are added every week (and so it says on the signup page as well)
Cons
- As mentioned above, High Def Movie Pass is not quite living up to its name with only eleven videos in HD (1280x720). Additionally it doesn't actually seem like new HD videos are being added, but only videos in the lower qualities.
- Pretty confusing site interface, with most of the actual exclusive videos buried far down the main page between a large amount of banner ads and 3rd party video feeds. I usually don't complain about a few ads/upsells in a member area, but this is reeking a bit too much of a company trying to maximize profits by throwing ads at members who have already paid overprice for access High Def Movie Pass
- Did I mention that 40 bucks is just too much? There are plenty of vastly larger and more interesting paysites that only charge $25-30 a month or less (including several that offer full HD quality on many, most or all of their videos). In fact very few sites try to get away with charging more than $30.
You might objectively speaking be getting your 40 dollars worth of content here (at least, paysite memberships in general are afterall bargains compared to buying an equal amount of content on physical DVDs or magazines if we're talking photo content), but that's not really much of an argument when you can get more and better for a lower price elsewhere.
Admittedly most of the sites currently offering HD quality videos appear to be lesbian, toys/masturbation and solo girl sites, but there are hardcore guy/girl HD options as well, like Hardcore Bunnies and Only 3X, and it's not like High Def Movie Pass is really coming through on those HD promises anyway
