How is the technical quality of their DVDs? Specifically, I'm curious about their older titles that were originally released on VHS -- are the DVD transfers up to snuff?

I have heard that a poor DVD transfer can be inferior to good-quality VHS.

I'm curious myself. Not just about technical quality, but also about the scenes themselves. Their scenes look like the sort of thing that I can enjoy, in addition to the hardcore scenes that I get from more standard porn studios, but it annoys me that fetishy stuff should be more expensive than movies with actual fucking. Of course, the more you buy from Playtime the cheaper the per unit cost gets, but I don't want to buy a bunch of videos until I've seen one. And I don't want to buy one until I've heard that Playtime videos are a good product, for what they are.

Most don't really get into talking dirty. No committment to it, it sounds awkward for most.
Unlike hardcore, I wish there were more close-ups and focused shots.

But the videos with girls known for being verbal in hardcore scenes are more likely to be worth it, then?

I don't know. This was a while ago and the only one I remember doing hardcore porn then was Avalon (Jennifer George, etc). I suppose.

I know Gia Jordan hated doing it. She said so on ADT that she felt very awkward yakking to the camera that much. On the other hand, I know Penny Flame did a lot of solo and lez scenes for Playtime and other companies before she ever did guys, and made quite a name for herself that way. Or so I've gathered. I'm not really a big Penny fan.

The fact that Playtime now has a Jenna Haze video is what brought all this questioning from me now. But I have looked at their website with interest before.

Ok, as a huge fan of these videos I thought I would weigh in. All of the ones I have bought are in the Jerk Off Encouragement line. Most of them are pantyhose themed, but some are panty and/or lingerie-themed as well. The premise is the same on all of them. One or two girls (mostly one) teasing and talking to the viewer. The emphasis is on the girl telling the guy to jerk off to her. For anyone who has that fetish, these videos deliver big time.

However, some girls are not nearly as good at it as others. Penny Flame has done a LOT of them and is very good, but most of her's are the ones where the girl is abusive and denigrating. Apparently, some guys are into being degraded by the girl, which I am not but I just ignore that part of it. The good thing about Penny is that she mixes up the things she says. Other girls stick to a pretty much canned script and those get old real quick.

Another one of my favs is Jelena Jensen, who has done six of them. Lindsey Meadows is really good too, especially at the talking. Also, her smile is too cute. Her nose crinkles up and it makes her look like Jerri Manthey from Survivor.

Lastly, as for Jenna Haze, she actually has done 3 of them, which I just got recently. To date, she is the best in my opinion. They are just about perfect for what I am looking for in these videos. She's sexy as hell, and is fantastic at the talking. She doesn't repeat the same thing over and over and caters to the fetish perfectly. If you like her and these videos, you have to get them all.

I know. I bought the first one with Jenna, (when it was still the only one with Jenna, apart from the CD Girls DVDs) just to see what it was like. I will hold off on buying more until the first month without a new one from Jenna to buy more. Their pricing scale that favors buying multiple titles at once encourages it.

Jenna told me at a signing that Playtime told her that her videos have sold faster than the videos of any other girl they have ever had.

But a good question would be what are the similarities and differences between Playtime and JB Video, and which is better?
