Review of VideoBox
Videobox is another one of the massive DVD download sites that have become popular the last few years, and is currently the best of the breed in my opinion. They have a staggering quantity of videos, somewhere around 25k full length scenes. They add an impressive 5 DVD's a DAY. You can download movies in full length, or any length you choose. You can also stream movies in their Flash player. The cost is $9.95/month, but if you want DVD quality (about 2500-3500k/sec - looks GREAT at full screen) it is $17.95/month, which is still around 10 bucks/month less than most competitors. The site is extremely well done - super organized, tons of links and categories so you can easily find what you want. You can preview the entire site before you join, so you know exactly what you are getting so there are no surprises. And there are enough movies there, that pretty much no matter what you are into, you should be able to find hundreds if not thousands of scenes in your favorite category. They only downside is if you want original movies that are not on DVD. Videobox only has movies from DVD's. And that means lots of gonzo. You can sometimes find more original and entertaining movies at the "reality" sites. Aside from that, this site just plain kicks ass.
