Pride Vault is a place where you can get access to 32 sites, over 448 movies, many exclusives, galleries and then hundreds of bonus DVDs, all for one straightforward and not too expensive membership. You've got all kinds of hot gay porn in here which makes this an excellent site for anyone who is after variety, younger guys, older guys, interracial sex, good quality viewing, and it's good for everyone looking for great value for money too.
You start off at a members home page where you can see all the sites listed. There is also a page giving you the same details about each one, a set of index pages where all the movies from all of the sites are neatly listed, you've got a menu linked to the bonus DVDs, and a support area should you need it.
What you will notice from the home page though is that Pride Vault is good at launching new sites. It is always coming up with something new and, so far this year, has added three sites to the list, bringing it up to 32 sites to access, which is more than the tour currently advertises. It would take far too long to mention all the content per site, but you do need to now about the variety that you will find. So, some of the titles you're going to access include: Bears fuck twinks, Thugs on twinks, Real male sex scandals, Asian boys in pain, Cream filed twinks, Straight fuckfest and Bi archive.
Some of the niches that the collection coves include; reality, twinks, interracial, fetish, bareback, Latin and mature. So you see what I mean about variety.
But you should also know that some of these sites only have small amounts of content, a few as eight scenes in some of them and there is no definite news as to when something new may be added. The vault is good at coming up with new sites, but doesn't always then update them frequently. Other sites have many more videos. So it's probably best to think of these sites as being parts of a large members area, in a site that is a variety one, rather than as individual sites linked in a network.
And it's probably best if you go to the Browse Movies page and start browsing through there. You find that each sample shot comes with the title of the site from which it comes, you can see when it was added, and there is a link to the scenes own page. These pages are simple affairs; you've got a Flash player that starts streaming when you open the page, you've got choices for downloading clips and full scenes, and these are in two resolutions of WMV. Downloading is quick as the site carries a 130kbps transfer rate, the clips are short and quick to grab, though the full scenes take longer of course. The quality of the movies is fine, the filming is good, the guys do well there are all kinds of men too, as we know, and you cant complain about the content that you get.
You may find galleries with some of these movies. If and when you do you find large sets of decent sized images that are clear and digital; again they are easy to view and you can download them.
For even more variety you click over to the DVD collection and find hundreds of non-exclusive movies Oops! I just checked this out and each of the box shots led me to a straight Co-ed set of films. Not sure what's going on there but it looks like you may need that support page after all.
Navigating around the Pride Vault is really simple. You've got that top menu which is clear and which works well, you've got simple links and clear sample pics to guide you to the content, and all the pages opened quickly when I tried them. The only problem I had was getting to the bonus DVDs as each link there led me to some straight porn I really didn't want to see.
There are no real interactive functions though and, in a site this big, it would be good to have a favourites area and more information about the guys. It would also be nice to be able to comment on content and give it some votes. All you really have by way of extra functions is a news box on the home page which tells you when a new site has been added to the list.
So, don't expect to get involved here the vault is about viewing porn, not chatting about it, but do expect a simply designed site that, usually, runs well if they could sort out their DVD feed function wed be a lot happier.
Pride Vault remains a top destination for surfers looking for all kinds of hot and hardcore gay porn. You've got exclusives and variety and everything is at a decent quality level. You've also got new sites being added from time to time and, when the DVD theatre is fixed, you've got even greater value for money. There's lots of porn here, lots of different niches, updates seem to be happening, and you get good quality downloads to keep.
