I used to go to adultdvdempire to check out screenshots beacause the pics on the box aren't always enough to go on.
Now ADE wants a crdit card on file just to view back of boxes and screenshots, fine.
So I register with them, put a credit card on file.
They give you a password to log on and another to view screenshots. Password to log on works fine (but is useless because you can't see boxes and screenshots with it).
But the screenshots password doesn't work. I e-mailed them and got the usual forum answer about how I need this and how I need that on file to view them (all of which I had already done).
I never shopped there to begin with, I just used it as a resource for screenshots, but now they have pretty much guaranteed that i would never shop with them, ever. They got that place locked up like Fort Knox. They want you to buy but don't want you to see what you are getting, morons.
Anyway, I'm looking for a site that has lots of screenshots, I have not seen any site that even comes close to the amount they have/had.
Any suggestions? Because ADE is a totally useless site now.

Five Star DVD has several hundered DVDs with screen shots . We are also adding screen shots for 25 new titles each week.

Apart from the others mentioned above (which I use) www.dvdxtreme.com have some screenshots for many titles.

I guess ADE have found too many people using their site for the screenshots and never buying anything (me included). But I never found that their new password system failed - once I enter the monthly code, it works for me.

But I agree that not providing screenshots on many sites makes it difficult to decide on purchase choices. Especially since here in the UK we have no means to rent these films - so buying blind is a risk.

M.B.,

For a single studio, dvsx.com has quite a few shots in a photo gallery for each title produced.

They're Hi-Quality Shots too Double D!

Best of all, it's all FREE

On ADE, if they would lower their DVD
prices, more will buy from there.

They've got DVDs near $30 where you
can buy elsewhere for a whole lot
cheaper.

I do like their free shipping on Adult DVDs

FiveStar, you do the same thing that bothers a lot of people about ADE. You ask for credit card information to view screenshots. I will give you one thing, though. You let us see the back cover, ADE is blocking that too now. For shame.

There's a lot of incorrect information about why ADE requires a credit card to view screenshots and explicit boxcovers. It now says clearly why this is the case: "To prevent underage persons from viewing back covers/screenshots, we have added the following requirements. All of these requirements must be met in order to view our FREE back covers/screenshots..."

yeah i use xonair.com and ADE. Xonair are easily better. ADE seem to limit themselves to 3 shots per scene, whereas xonair do probably 6 shots per scene.

they still require credit card details but its just for age verification. You don't get charged.

ADE is crap. I did everything they asked me to do yet my password still won't work, I e-mailed them and they gave me some nonsense about their computer generating the passwords, was no help to me though. I'd never buy anything from them to begin with but just imagine if I actually wanted to check some stuff out to buy, there's no way I'd ever shop there. You need 3 different passwords just to view screenshots, give me a break.
Put a disclaimer on the front page and leave it at that.
I'll never visit their site again.

I would have to concur with snowden. Personally I generally use xonair.com and ADE when looking for screenshots. From what I've seen they are both a cut above the rest. I would give the edge to xonair, but ADE is no slouch. On a side note one thing that bothers me about xonair is that some time they do not actually use screenshots, but rather screenshots from the dvd's photo galleries. They often do this with Private product.

These days there are tons of places to get a better look at product before you purchase. It also helps that many studios are starting to offer screenshots on their own sites. DVSX for example offer some quality pics so does julesjordan.com, private.com and many more.

I might also mention that there are quite a few reviews right here on ADT that feature screenshots. For example you can always count on shots in astroknight's reviews, saki's reviews, and I know I always try my best.
