Gosh, what a let down. I ordered 6 dvd's from a online dvd shop. This time I tried to be smart and went for the cheapie 9.99 and the sale items. Boy what a MISTAKE.
4 of em went straight to the trash can. Lousy chicks, lousy everything. 1 of em was ok and 1 of em of which had some hot girls on the cover didn't even work! All day I was excited to get my dvd's and now that I got em I wish I never bought em. I can't believe 4 of em are sitting in the trash can right now!
word of advice for your amateur peeps like me, there's a reason why those dvd's are only 9.99!
you guys think the dvd shop will take back the dvd that don't work?
Read lots of reviews. It is the best way to find a movie with the content you want and that also is good, quality porn.
See, also Saki's Buyer's Guide. It was very helpful for me when I recently got back into buying porn.
Edited to add: It has been my experience that it is better to spend on quality, rather than quantity. Spend a few extra bucks per DVD and you will end up with fewer, but FAR better porn.
Good luck with future purchases!!

I think you should do what most of us do. Only buy movies from companies and/or directors you know and like. This way there's a very small chance you will get burned.
I always shy away from these cheap titles DVD's because I know the quality will be bad. I don't mind paying twice the ammount for a DVD as long as I can get my money worth and 99% of the time I do.
At least to try. For the price a couple of the cheapo DVDs you can rent "Netflix-style" from any number of sites. (Check out the Shopping Forum for more info.) Some offer either free trials, or discounts for the first month. You can always buy favorite titles down the road to build up a collection.
thonglover, my heart goes out to you. I have been fooled a lot myself. It came to a point a few years ago that I was renting 5-6 titles at a time just to get a few good things. If you have not watched a Platinum X Pictures title yet, please e-mail me your address and I will send you one to compare. Thanks!

I recently bought my first porn dvd's (as well as my fisrt mainstream ones) and I tried the smae thing as Thonglover, I think I got very lucky though because 2 of the four dvd's I got were good and only one was a throw away. Since that first purchase I found this site and bought a few that looked good and had highly rated reviews, though they cost more they have been consistently better. I might keep getting some cheapo's though just to review them on this site, because if you find a cheap DVD that is good why buy the expensive ones? Though it is more likely you'll spend just as much trying to find a good cheap DVD as a more costly one, it's the search that is important! One of the DVD's I bought recently actually had a decent plot, or at least a watchable one, and I think that alone was worth the extra ten bucks.

Very nice offer Brandon, I have not seen a single DVD from PXP yet, being broke and all, I probably won't... but this is kinda like the Pepsi challenge, huh?
(oh, by the way, I drink Coca-Cola )
Hey, we all gotta make mistakes and learn from them, thonglover, that's a part of buying porn. Oh, and a part of life as well.
WOW! I concur with BigMike, thats a really nice offer, kudo's brandon, you just sold me on your studios commitment to its customers... time for me to order my first PXP title.
Not every cheap title is bad. Sometimes excellent discs can be had at a great discount price. This is especially true with older "catalog" titles once they are not the latest and greatest title of the week.
More and more the adult industry seems to be new release driven. Years ago, I can remember to video stores holding onto titles for many years. Now, once something is just two or three months old, it seems ready for the bargain bin. It's sort of sad, and no sane person can really keep up with it all. The upside is, all this mania on constant new releases puts downward pressure on the old titles.
The key is probably to stay away from certain extreme low end studios that mostly put out crappy, low quality compilations. These studios rarely (if ever) come out with new footage. That's an easy way to spot the ones to avoid.

thonglover - part of the purpose of this whole site is to steer people away from bad porn and help them find porn they might like. if we don't name titles that would be a difficult task.
i'm with snowman - there are plenty of bargains on good porn. take a look at bargain watch right now - many dvds with very positive reviews for less than $15 - private, red light district, digital sin, hustler, etc.
I just ordered some DVDs from here so when I get them I'll write a review on them. One is the free Carnal Instinct (or whatever it is) with Niki Tyler (her last film apparently) that you get with purchases over $200 AUD. Should be worth looking at, it got lots of good feedback on other sites.. and I forget what the other two I bought were now. Teen Island and something else I think.. Anyway, I'll say more after I have watched them.. at least once ;)
So as to not confuse people, hopefully you ordered them using Kickbacks or Adult DVD Talk affiliate codes (the wonderful things that let Steph and Drew keep the site alive). Adult DVD Talk is a shopping portal, among other things, and NOT a store itself.
thonglover - this is a good offer from a great studio - do get this sample.
everyone was screwed before - my troubles started back in the VHS era - i'd order a super-gazooper ass-stretching sale from a page-ad in penthouse and would get a CASE - 20 or 50 tapes for like $100. then I'd open this case, and I fucking needed a chair and an ambulance - might as well take a Hundred-dollar bill and rip it to shit, then give your address to every spam distributor in the world and ask him to send you porn ads in open envelopes. The Case of VHS tapes would have half cracked, half garbage tapes with awful quality compilations, that would jam my VCR, rip and on a rewind - squeel like 20 fucking pigs being throat fucked with a shovel - my entire building would wake up... i swear to all gods!

Let this be your Welcome to the world of Quality Porn, my man... This site has reviews by people who give you their most sincere and deepest thoughts, and say it like it is. And it has links to every possible title and kink of your taste. And with all that, you can start with a rental - even an online rental - to be discrete. I think, despite any possible fuckups in this world, porn is one of the things, where you can still get very very satisfied with the product and people who make it happen.
---what do you mean, why... listen, i have a pusle, damn it! ---
Huh?? Maybe I'm naive but how do you have time and energy to RENT porn when you are talent and get pussy ever day plus whatever you're getting in your personal life?
