Review posted March 27, 2005

Update May 21: VideosZ seems to be keeping its nice and steady update pace of around five new DVDs a week. As of today there are 724 DVDs in the VideosZ archive.

With an ever increasing number of Internet surfers on broadband connections where downloading or streaming 40+ Megabyte files is no problem, a new type of porn site has begun seeing the light of day over the last couple of years.
While any respectable adult site offers members a sometimes large number of short or long video clips, it is often an additional bonus on top of the photo content, live chat and what else is available at that particular site.
VideosZ, as the name implies, completely skips anything but the videos, and let me tell you one thing - once you have spent a few minutes looking at the site (and there is no sealed off “members section” - go ahead and browse the entire site as a visitor) you could not care any less about photosets and other fluff.
682(!) full hardcore DVDs (at the time of writing) for streaming or download in good or very high quality - and at least four new DVDs added every week. And everything you download is yours to keep and play even if you at some point cancel your membership at VideosZ.

Content

The 680+ DVDs in the VideosZ archive are currently from seven different, well known porn producers, and assuming you have been casting more than a short glance at the movies available in any well stocked adult store, chances are you will recognize many of them as highly popular porn flicks or series spanning a sizeable number of movies.
You will find 115+ DVDs from Jill Kelly Studios (she shouldn’t need much introduction), 139 DVDs from Elegant Angel, lots of movies from the popular Hardcore Innocence and Cumback Pussy series from this studio - and an amazing 40+ DVDs from the popular and very hardcore interracial series Gangland from Devil’s Film, a studio with another 50 great titles on offer as well.
And those were just the most noticable from the huge archives of VideosZ.

Have a favourite pornstar or five? Sure you do. And while I cannot make any promises of course, I am pretty certain that most of you will find at least half of your favourites featured on one or more of the movies at VideosZ.
Finding them is made easy with an excellent search system, and if you want to go a little broader you can simply choose a studio, a category/niche (24 to choose from - from Anal to Toys) or select a series for those that number more than a single DVD (a lot of them).

Photo/Video Quality

All DVDs at VideosZ are cut into scenes - typically 5-8 of 15-30 minutes length, that are available in three different formats. Windows Media (WMV) in acceptable fullscreen quality (300k) for either download or streaming in a special window that also allows you to bookmark your favourites. AVI (the XVid format to be specific - video codecs are available at the site if you do not have them installed already) for download in very good quality, and finally an MPEG version that is very close to the AVI version and mainly there for those with codec problems I think (Linux and Mac users perhaps).

20 minutes of video using the WMV format is around 40 Megabyte data and the high quality AVI files are around four times this size, so obviously VideosZ is for broadband users only (I was on a 256 Kbit line for a while and it was doable - anything less would probably be torture).

Final comments

It sounds almost too good to be true. More than 680 high quality porn DVDs for download for a measly $29.95 a month - and no daily download limitations here, if you have tons of harddrive space and a fast connection you can actually download every single one of them if you should feel so inclined (personally I quickly switched to using the site as my personal “porn shelf” and just downloading what I want to watch that day - much easier to browse movies by covers and thumbnail images of scenes rather than filenames in your filemanager or media player).
Believe it though. At this price VideosZ is the closest thing you get to having an absolutely huge porn DVD collection available at any time.
Of course the quality is not quite up to the original DVD standard, but it is more than okay for full screen viewing on a computer monitor - or even better, a TV if you connect one to your computer through the TV-out jack on most modern graphics cards.
Sites like VideosZ make it difficult to stay objective as a reviewer. But if something deserves praise as much as this site does, I really see no point in holding it back.

Any negatives to even it out a little? Two things I have noticed in the seven months I have been a member. The original update schedule was one DVD every single day - this seems to have slipped to “only” four or five new DVDs a week.
Hardly a huge issue since you probably won’t ever make it through just half their archive anyway.
The two times I have had to contact support at VideosZ with a couple of questions they have also been a tad slower to respond than I would have liked - around four to six days if I recall correctly. But since everything regarding updates, billing etc. seems to run smoothly, most of you will probably never have to contact support anyway so this is hardly a serious issue either.
