I mean, for the XXX disks to be between $30 and $40, they're far more expensive than any of the other producers of porn. I know that the girls are mostly knockout drops to look at, but the shows are no better to watch than any other porn company's DVDs. So what gives, why are they so expensive? And are there any other outlets that do all the Score DVDs but cheaper?

Prices seem cheap to me. I can remember buying crappy 8mm porn in the 70s for $25-$30/film, which equates to about $100 in todays money. As long as porn fans consider $40 "expensive", you'll never have anything better than grunting naked people doing circus acts.

have you used the price search? score dvds in the price search - they are much cheaper.

there will probably be more score titles at your standard retailers because pure play distributes their stuff now (don't know for how long.)

I usually buy my SCORE dvds from lasersedge, adultcdmovies, adultdvduniverse, adultdvdempire, or adultdvd69 where you can find them at much cheaper prices (usually less than $20)

Score maintains exclusive distribution of thier DVD's for quite a while before making them available to to retail stores. During this time frame, they charge a premium for these discs.

Up until a year or two ago, Score titles were only available directly from Score and never made availble to retail stores.

Today, it comes down to paying a premium if you want a Score title as soon as it becomes available at eboobstore.com (Score's online store) or you can wait until it becomes widely distributed and pay a reasonable price for it.

Thanks for the pointer Steph! I did a search earlier on but didn't come up with half that many titles. I must've done my search all wrong.

this is all true, and at the same time a load of crap. Score could completely be a better company if they didn't charge this type of money for their films which look like they were shot in someone's basement. there is a lot of good material in their archives, and plenty of big breasted women have photoshoots with them. however, none are done by professional cameramen any more, and they all have the same theme to them. some how they haven't come to the realization that you have to tempt those who want what you have. get them in the door before you try to sell them the pyramids. 40-50 bucks for a DVD. that thing better be dropped off at my front door by the owner himself.

for the general record and outside my ranting about it you may want to try for Score. they have a fair number of their DVDs, but not anywhere close to what the company's site has.

not sure, but that is where I order all of my DVDs from. they still don't have the top DVDs that Score produces, but I think that Score is starting to see the light. if you saw on Action DVD, The Best of Chloe Vevrier was a nice reasonable price. when I bought it from Score it was 50 bucks and shelled out the money for it too. now you go to Score's site and it is $29.99. so if you wait long enough the prices will be more reasonable.

WARNING even though the price drops always remember that they charge you $10 for S&H. so if you buy a movie there that is $39.95, you're going to still end up paying almost 50 bucks for it.

I can't understand why anyone would pay good money for Score discs, they are worth no more than $10, to me anyway. I've only seen a few but every single one of them look like it was shot on video in the late 80's, their transfers suck, just bad discs all around.
You'd be better off with the Roy Alexandre big tit titles like Wonders Of The World and his lactating stuff is pretty good too.
Score movies are awful. They have some decent looking girls, but the flicks are packed with solo stuff and very little hardcore, just bad discs all around.

as I've said before their videos all look like they're shoot in someone's basement because they really are. the guy who founded the company almost 15 years ago is still in charge and for some reason still thinks it's the early 1980s. if you've seen their sets and location pieces you would know what I'm talking about.

every photoshoot there is the same no matter who the model is. it's gotten to the point where there are a few standards that can be spotted when you look at them. you've got the tennis one, army girl, gypsy, bikini show, bra show, lingerie show ... there are a few there, but the pattern is clear.

add to that the fact that the same limp dick, wannabe porn dud is in every one of their movies. to add insult to that he brings along what looks like he twin brother when they want do a 2-on-1 scene.

they seem to draw some of the finest large breasted women in the world (large breasted would be women who have a D cup or better for all of those who think a full C cup is astonishing ) but it never really leads anywhere. women don't go to Score to have their careers launched or to even give them a boost. it has gotten so bad that they started luring women who've retired from modeling back because they were their stars when the magazine was first published.

Angelique, Letha Weapons, Alyssa Alps, and Colt 45 please stand up. I'm waiting for them to bring back Busty Dusty even though she's long been retired and had her implants removed. it's pretty sad considering that I've sent them a wealth of ideas and all they've done is a big fat NOTHING! damn if I had money to even get a majorty share I would do it, but wait ... same guy still owns it and thinks things have never been better.
