GayDemon's review of Pride Movie Pass

Looking for a huge amount of gay porn? Pride Movie Pass is a video archive site featuring over 3000 videos from 800+ DVD titles. That is a lot of movies, and the tour allows you to browse every title. You can browse by niche, studio or pornstar, and each scene has 6 vidcaps to show the action as well as short previews of each vid in 5 speeds. The tour promises daily updates, downloadable videos, 5 viewing speeds and no download limits.

Before we take a look at the member area, i'd like to mention a couple features Pride Movie Pass offers that stand out. One is the update schedule - this site says they offer a full DVD every day, but it hasn't updated in 5 days and only added one DVD last month. The other feature is a video size that this site offers that may be good for you size queens out there. The movies in this site are standard sized, but each vid is offered at HD size, which is actually a slightly enlarged version shown at 800x600. While the quality is a pinch lower, I think it's worth it.

The member area of Pride Movie Pass is laid out like the tour but with additional links at the top so members can search by the highest rated movies and the most viewed, and also has a favorites link. The site is very easy to navigate with all the search features I like to see in this kind of site except for one - I can't find a way to browse ALL the movies.

The site says it currently has 3506 scenes from 875 DVDs, adding up to a total of 1190 hours of porn. Since there's no way to browse all the vids, I can't confirm this exactly, but there are definitely over 807 DVD titles and over 3200 scenes. That is a LOT of porn, but not all of it is gay - there are 222 tranny DVD titles, which still means over 585 gay DVDs.

Each movie is offered in WMV for both streaming and download in your choice of clips or full scenes. There are 5 sizes of video, called Dialup, DSL, Broadband, T1 and HD. Let's take a look at the two biggest and best quality options first. The T1 videos are shown at 640x480 with a bitrate of around 1 Mbps, and the HD versions are shown at 800x600 with a bitrate of around 2 Mbps. The HD videos aren't true HD, but are sort of "stretched" versions of standard-sized DVD scenes. Video quality varies in the two best sizes as some DVDs rip better than others, so some videos are good quality where others have just a hint of blurriness.

The broadband videos are shown at 512x384 with a bitrate of around 800k, and look pretty good at their original size. DSL speed are shown at 320x240 with a bitrate of around 500k, perfect for those on slower broadband. The dialup videos actually have a bitrate of around 150k, so while they will take a little longer for dialup users to download, they look much better than most dialup videos do.

Pride Movie Pass is a little higher in price than some similar sites, but is still a pretty good deal considering the amount of content and the price. I was disappointed that they were not updating regularly, and there are no extras like bonus sites or content. Of course, when you offer more than 3000 videos, you probably don't need a lot of bonus content.

Pride Movie Pass gets a mixed review from me. With over 3200 videos from 800+ DVD titles, 585+ of which are gay and 222 of which are tranny, this is one big site. The movies are offered in 5 speeds of downloadable DVDs and no DRM is used, but some of the videos lacked sharpness and were even a little blurry at the biggest size. The videos can be searched and sorted in a variety of ways and the site navigation is very intuitive, which I liked, but on the downside, the site didn't update for the last few days and also missed updating most of last month. If you're looking for tons of gay DVD content and downloadable videos but aren't concerned about regular updates, Pride Movie Pass is worth checking out.

Things we liked:

• Huge collection of videos
• Videos are downloadable
• Very fast download speeds
• No DRM used

Things we didn't like:

• Pre-checked offer on join page
• Site seems to miss a lot of updates
• Only latest updates are dated
