The more sites I review, the more I am beginning to like online video rental sites - especially ones which show their prospective members EXACTLY what they get when the pay the cover charge. And such is the case with Adult Rated.
Online adult video rental/downloadable DVDs are certainly not new on the online adult entertainment horizon. In many ways (at least based on the sites I have inspected to date), there are many similarities between these types of sites. Typically, they present all of their titles for surfers to explore and make note of when evaluating whether or not to sign up. In this regard, the ‘tour’ of these sites is less ambiguous and in many cases, the members’ side looks exactly like the tour side - so there are NO SURPRISES.
So if you’re in the market for video on demand (VOD), then you may wonder about how to tell what makes one site different from the next. There ARE differences and they are not always easy to ferret out from a quick glance. VOD sites often have different suppliers of their content, so it is reasonable to expect that different sites may offer different collections of videos to download. And this is very true. While there may be lots of overlap in titles between different VOD sites (the popular titles find their way everywhere), it is important that you look through the list of titles and see if you like what you find.
Another difference to look for between VOD sites is the variety of formats available for downloading. In the case of Adult Rated, you can download WMV (Super, High, Medium, and Low), MPG, IPOD, and PSP formats. It is important to note, that membership here is available in two levels: Standard Membership, and Premium Membership. I was a bit confused when I reviewed the Join Page until I read the explanation of the two different membership types. In short, Premium Membership gives you full access to ALL the video resolutions available including DVD resolution. Standard Membership gives you everything EXCEPT DVD resolution. There is a difference in price between the two and you can guess which one is less than the other.
On the topic of formats, here’s a more detailed rundown: DVD = 720×540 @ 2200kbps, High = 512×384 @ 800kbps, Mid = 320×240 @ 500 kbps, and Low = 192×144 @ 250 kbps. So before you hook yourself up for the Premium Membership, make sure you have the connectivity speed to merit the DVD resolution.
In addition to resolutions, another difference between VOD sites is the presentation/navigation system. If you’re going to be rummaging around a thousand or more movies, you will want to make sure the tools are there to make your exploration as practical and effortless as possible. Adult Rated offers EXCELLENT content listing and searching tools. You can browse selection by categories: Popular Scenes, Amateur Sex, Anal Sex, Asian Sex, ATM, Big Tits, Black Sex, Blowjobs, Bondage, Cum Swapping, Cumshots Facials, D.P, Euro Sex, Exotic Sex, Fat Obese Sex, Female Domination, Fetish, Fisting, French, Gangbang, Gay Sex, German Hardcore, German Sex, Group Sex, Hairy, Handjobs, Hardcore, Hardcore Extreme, Hardcore Fetish, Hentai, Internal Cumshots, Interracial Sex, Lactating, Latino Sex, Lesbian, M.I.L.F., Masturbation, Natural Tits, Old Mature, Oral Sex, P.O.V, Pissing, Pregnant Women, She-Males, Small Tits, Solo Sex, Squirting, Straight Sex, Teen, or Toys.
You can also find selections based on Studios, Popular Stars, and searches. Picture screenshots are available to view in addition to thumbnails of scenes to help you decide whether investing some download time is worth it for a particular episode. 30 day Membership costs $14.95 (Premium) or $9.95 (Standard). You may want to start with the Standard membership to check out the videos in lower resolution before deciding to get the DVD versions.
In any case, being able to download 1,600+ movies (2 new DVDs added daily) for a single membership, and at costs much lower than the average in VOD sites, Adult Rated is one of the best deals I’ve seen in a long time!
