The thing about Pride Mov is that you get a good deal, which means value for money and variety. This is a simple site that's packed with all kinds of gay hardcore and members get to view it or download it as they want. There are top studios represented here, all kinds of guys from amateurs to professionals, there are daily updates, good quality and easy viewing, and all for a very sensible sign up fee.
The content count here is easy, you are told it, proudly, every time you log in and you can check back day after day to see the numbers rise. When I called in it was up at 4,120 scenes taken from 949 movies. That's it. That is what the site is all about so don't expect galleries, a model index, extras, although bonus sites is listed as a menu item it is not connected to anything. There are no additional frills here as none are needed.
What you do have though are good search and sort options. You can find your content by whats tops and what is most watched, you can simply view them all in numbered index pages or see what is most downloaded. And then there are category lists, genres and studios to choose from as well.
There were loads of well know studios with productions here including Bacchus, Citiboyz and Video 10, and many others that you may never had heard of. So the collection ranges from top studio to small independent, which will make for very varied viewing. And that's kind the main point about Pride Mov, it has variety. The category list is also long and works its way through the standard gay porn categories making it easy for you to find what you want to see. And, once you have decided, well it is plain sailing all the way to the cum shots.
Lets say you chose Jock as a category; you click and up comes the first index page of seven. (If you click all DVDs you get 48 index pages with 20 DVDs per page, and these are full length DVDs.) These index pages show you the box covers for the DVDs, with upload dates and number of scenes. Select a cover and click again and you find more information and all the scenes arranged with six thumbnails each as a guide. You can download in WMV high and low, and you can stream in the same. Some scenes come with MP4 versions too, but all come with a little introduction, the name of the studio and lists of keywords that are linked so you can find other titles in the same genre. The guys appearing in these scene also have their names linked to appearances. This isn't a model index but if you click a name you find a visual list of anything else you can see that guy in.
So, easy viewing options for the movies and lots of movies to view. The quality is fine, you don't need to worry about that. The low versions obviously are not as good and you will only want to view them if you have to, but I found the higher quality ones came down the line nice and fast, the file sizes were not unmanageable and the streaming was pretty smooth. So, I have no complaints or concerns about the Pride Mov collection; it's big and growing daily, it's solid and nicely varied and you certainly get a lot of it for your money.
Fussy folk like me could well say that there is not a lot of interactivity here and they'd be right. But that's not the point of the site. The idea is that you come in and watch or take the DVDs. You can rate the content but that's about it for getting involved. What, no favourites area? Well, you don't need one. If you see something you like then simply download and keep it. There are links to support if you have any trouble but that's it for getting involved.
But, as Pride Mov is about letting you easily see top class movies, you'll want to be sure that it is simple to view them. And it is, so that's good news. The search options really come into play here and you will find it very easy to use. I tried typing in a couple of words at random and found that even some of the more obscure words I came up with resulted in something being found. There are also the studio lists and the categories to aid your searching.
Navigation generally is easy with a static top menu and you wont find yourself lost or taken off into any dark recesses of adverts or up-sells. It's all clear and plain sailing. Which does mean you get straight to the viewing, though you may need to install the latest version of the plugin to start your streaming. There are links and it's free if you do get the install message.
Pride Mov is a large collection of varied DVDs and their component scenes from a wide variety of studios. You will find good choices of quality for viewing, and you will find simple viewing instructions. There are no problems with navigation and the site gets updated every day. This is a 100% click in to view site that also lets you take the movies, it's not expensive for what you get and it is well maintained.
