What you are looking at here is a collection of ebony, Latino and interracial DVDs from a collection of various studios. This is a DVD site, pure and simple, but one that is great to use, easy to view and one that comes with a nice variety of titles. You've able to view and download as many scenes as you want for your membership, there are no added fees and no pay per view. Updates have been happening, but not so frequently recently, and there are already a good number of scenes to see.
You're going to find content from 20 studios here, and that content consists of full length DVDs arranged in scenes. You can browse by DVD title and see all its component scenes, or you can list up all the scenes in one go. Either way you're going to find some well known studio names like Bacchus, Citiboyz and Video 10 here, with each studio having its own amount of contributions. (Cityboyz having ah! No movies here yet; they are listed in the studio index, ah well, let me find you another example, ah, Heatwave have a few titles here some other studios in the list don't have titles either so it's all a bit confusing really.)
So, my advice is to start with he home page which lists the first index page of titles, you can go by the box covers and chose which move to go and watch, then you will come to its main page. These individual DVD pages let you see the front cover and sometimes the back cover, and they are also set up to give you some basic information about studios and stars. Some do, while others don't yet have this information added in. Beneath this you see screen caps from each scene and these give you a good idea of what is going to take place in each one.
And that is going to be everything from group gang bangs down to erotic couples in hardcore action, with plenty of sucking and fucking to keep you hard and horny. You're able to stream the scenes in a decent, DVD quality WMV stream, though you may need to have the add-on installed. If you do you will be prompted and you can run this add on quite safely, at least I had no trouble with it. The resolution here was 1.99Mbps @ 640 x 480 and the visual quality was good even at full screen. Downloads are also available and file sizes rage from under 200Mbs to over 500, so your connection speed is going to be a factor in how fast you get the files, or not. The transfer rate though was nice and high at over 100kbps.
Enough technical information, what about the sex? Well, it's varied, like I said, and it takes place between all kinds of ebony guys. You've got some who are very dark, Nubian and tall, hot and hung; there are others who are lighter in tone, but just as sexy, there are Latino guys and there's a good mix of interracial activity with white on top, black guy on top, Latinos underneath and playing bottom then switching around You've also got various settings, some movies have short stories others launch you straight in to the sex, and you find that you don't get bored at all.
It's a reasonable stock of content at the moment with 34 full length DVDs split into all their scenes, but the updates were a bit of a worry - the last one seemed to have been made in May (five months ago), and the coming soon page simply leads to the support area.
Dark Beef comes with some good search and sort options. You're able to use the drop down lists of studios to see if there are any in there you know; you can keyword search by title or actors names; there is a long list of genres to choose from and some other options such as top rated scenes and most recent additions.
The tour did mention that you could build you own collection, but I didn't see and add to favourites functions here. You were told the run times, there was sometimes information about the scenes and stars, and you have clear and simple instructions and buttons for streaming or downloading. You are able to rate movies too but do it once you've seen it, not half way through, as they seem to go back to the start if you vote during a show, and you cant skip forward through the stream.
The design here is also effectively simple and straightforward. It looks good and everything works well the members area is the same as the tour so you can see from that what to expect. There was only that one missing image, top right and everything else technical worked well. That made navigation simple and I had no problems in getting around the site and seeing everything that was on offer.
Not the biggest ebony porn theatre in the world, but one that contains some good titles, some top guys, some really horny sex scenes, and one that only charges you the monthly fee, and has no hidden charges involved. Were not too sure what is happening with updates as the recent movies were not that recent, and the coming soon page leads you to the support centre. But for collectors of interracial and ebony porn, this is a place you've got to stop and look at.
