Test report: Review of the premium porn site from the porn studio DigitalPlayground 

During our porn site tests, we always noti­ce that there are some dif­fe­ren­ces bet­ween American and European porn. While in Europe peo­p­le are more into unador­ned amateur-porn with natu­ral­ly horny women, in the USA they pre­fer glos­sy porn like Digitalplayground, VIVID, BRAZZERS and PRIVATE.

But there are also dif­fe­ren­ces bet­ween male and fema­le view­ers. A lot of women are demons­tra­b­ly more into glos­sy pro­duc­tions. Men, on the other hand, tend to love ama­teur porn in the gonzo style.

For this review, we have cho­sen digitalplayground.com (DP) for our adult web­site test. The porn label has been one of the best-known and lar­gest com­pa­nies in the porn indus­try for seve­ral deca­des. According to their own infor­ma­ti­on, 40% of all porn DVDs come from Digital Playground. However, this figu­re should be taken with a grain of salt, con­side­ring the mass of porn stu­di­os and DVDs that come onto the mar­ket every year.

The porn stu­dio was foun­ded in 1994 and has been owned since 2012 by the Luxembourg-based com­pa­ny MindGeek, form­er­ly Manwin, which is also behind other porn sites like Brazzers.com, YouPorn or Pornhub.

Digital Playground is best known for pro­du­cing par­ti­cu­lar­ly high-quality porn, inclu­ding the most expen­si­ve feature-length porn, „Pirates II,“ which cost $8 mil­li­on. More recent pro­duc­tions include Star Wars: A XXX Parody and Kill Bill: A XXX Parody.

But enough of the pre­face, let’s see if digitalplayground.com can satis­fy both men and women. In the fol­lo­wing test report, we will intro­du­ce you to this ero­tic site in more detail. We will look behind the sce­nes and give you our expe­ri­en­ces. Have fun rea­ding the review.

Opinion about the preview area of Digitalplayground.com

Before we are allo­wed to enter the pre­view area, we first see the typi­cal American paren­tal con­trol. This is a text that informs us that the fol­lo­wing pages con­tain mate­ri­al with expli­cit sexu­al content 

The text is only available in English and no other lan­guage is provided.

In the upper sec­tion, there is a large slider and next to it a small sec­tion that informs about the latest or spe­cial movies. Below that, you can find a sel­ec­tion of the four best-rated movies and scenes 

Below that, in turn, are the pre­views of the most recent­ly pos­ted sce­nes and, one floor down, those of the latest full-length films 

There is also a short pre­view of upco­ming films as well as a sel­ec­tion of actres­ses who are newly signed to Digital Playground.

Clicking on the „View All“ but­ton will take you to the main page of that sec­tion. Or you can take the direct way via the menu.

One can explo­re the pre­view sec­tion of digitalplayground.com very free­ly wit­hout being prompt­ed to book every few clicks. Thus, all pages can be cal­led up in the cate­go­ries and not just the first one in each case.

Also, very plea­sing is that each pre­view image can be cli­cked and one gets to the video page. In addi­ti­on to some infor­ma­ti­on about the respec­ti­ve film, a trai­ler is also dis­play­ed here. We will take a clo­ser look at the video page in the „Member Area“ sec­tion. For now, we con­ti­nue with the registration.

Rating of the porn sites registration

The regis­tra­ti­on starts with a click on the green but­ton „Join me“ in the upper-right cor­ner. We are direc­ted to a page where we have to set some basic things.

First of all, we choo­se the dura­ti­on of the mem­ber­ship. Here we have 1 month, 3 months and 1 year to choo­se from. Besides that, there is also a three-day trial access, but we do not recom­mend it. In our reviews, we have always found that the trial access is very limi­t­ed and you are then forced to pay the month­ly price anyway.

The length of the mem­ber­ship has a direct impact on the costs incur­red. If we igno­re the trial access, then the month­ly mem­ber­ship is the most expen­si­ve at €29.99 per month. Much che­a­per is the mem­ber­ship for one year with $8 per month or $99 per year. In bet­ween is the three-month access for $32.99 per month or $59.95 for the enti­re period.

Premium porn at a fair price

Unfortunately, only cre­dit card pay­ment is available as a pay­ment method at the moment. It is not pos­si­ble to pay by SEPA direct debit, PayPal, cell phone, or pre­paid cards.

After sel­ec­ting the rate, we click on the „Start Membership“ but­ton and are redi­rec­ted to the page of the pay­ment ser­vice ProBiller. Here we have to enter our cre­dit card details.

Be careful! Unfortunately, also in this porn site is a sub­scrip­ti­on trap in the boo­king form. You must disable the „Get access to DigitalPlayground Premium“ pre-selection. The pre­mi­um ser­vice allows you to down­load porn, for exam­p­le but costs an addi­tio­nal $34.99 per month.

Clicking on „Complete this Transaction“ com­ple­tes the pay­ment and you can con­ti­nue with the mem­ber area. A few seconds later, you will recei­ve an email with the con­tract summary.

Test – Review Member Area: Breathtakingly beautiful porn

After log­ging in, the visi­tor of DigitalPlayground.com is gree­ted by a sim­ply struc­tu­red, high­ly func­tion­al mem­ber area, which is also very under­stan­da­ble for English lay­men. Quickly one has unders­tood the menu and page structure.

The porn vide­os are embedded in HTML5 win­dows and can be play­ed on all modern brow­sers wit­hout arti­facts or jerks. The web­site was super usable on tablets and smart­phones. Streaming from the note­book via Google Chromecast to a TV work­ed great and the qua­li­ty remain­ed razor-sharp.

Hardly any porn stu­dio puts so much effort into crea­ting such ima­gi­na­ti­ve and beau­tiful cos­tu­mes and props. The plots can easi­ly keep up with real fea­ture films or even cine­ma blockbusters 

The porn par­odies are espe­ci­al­ly awe­so­me. They are imi­ta­ti­ons of very popu­lar moti­on pic­tures. But also the porn series are very worth watching.

The actres­ses are by far the best-looking we have seen in the porn indus­try so far. Each one could right­ly call hers­elf a dream woman, main­ly for the male view­ers. Unfortunately, howe­ver, you also noti­ce with some of the ladies that sex in front of the came­ra is just a job. The fee­lings come across as too arti­fi­ci­al, which also affects the bodies.

Digital Playground: High-level erotic movies with action and razor-sharp quality

As it should be for the self-proclaimed big­gest porn stu­dio, a wide range of sexu­al play types is covered.

In addi­ti­on to the stan­dard pro­gram of oral sex, anal sex and vagi­nal sex, there are also some movies that cater to fetis­hes such as uni­form, cor­sa­ge or gyn­sex (gyneco­lo­gi­cal sex).

The movies are available as flash movies in 1080p HD qua­li­ty and can be com­pres­sed down to 320p for slow com­pu­ters if nee­ded. A down­load is unfort­u­na­te­ly not provided 

For many films (but not all) there is exten­si­ve bonus mate­ri­al. This con­sists most­ly of a pic­tu­re gal­lery to the films 

For many porn movies, you can also watch a „Behind the Scenes“ video, which shows the actors and actres­ses during the shooting.

Opinions on page structure & design

The page lay­out gives no reason to com­plain becau­se to start a movie, you don’t need more than a few clicks.

The fil­ter opti­ons, which can be used to nar­row down the sel­ec­tion of sce­nes, have been imple­men­ted very well. In addi­ti­on to the stan­dard opti­ons like date, rating or best rated, the movies can also be sear­ched by actres­ses and even keywords.

The design of the pages is unob­tru­si­ve and enti­re­ly focu­sed on func­tion­a­li­ty. Only the con­trast bet­ween font and back­ground could be a bit bet­ter in places. Black text on a gray back­ground is not so easy to read.

Experiences with the subscription cancellation

The sub­scrip­ti­on to Digital Playground can be can­ce­led quick­ly and wit­hout any pro­blems. Unfortunately, you are not direct­ly infor­med about how to can­cel the sub­scrip­ti­on. For this review, howe­ver, we at least did not find any arti­fi­ci­al­ly crea­ted obstacles.

In the boo­king con­fir­ma­ti­on of ProBiller, click on the link under „MANAGE YOUR ORDER ONLINE“ and you will land direct­ly on a form where you can enter your boo­king num­ber and your e‑mail address. In the fol­lo­wing web page you will find a list of your bil­ling data and a but­ton „Cancel Subscription“. Click on it, enter „Satisfied cus­to­mer“ as the reason and your sub­scrip­ti­on is canceled.

However, my part­ner found the porn of this web­site so cool that we stay­ed a mem­ber for two months 😉

Test verdict & conclusion of the DigitalPlayground.com review

We were sim­ply thril­led with our review! The porn stu­dio Digital Playground has a lot of expe­ri­ence with the pro­duc­tion of high-quality porn with a fea­ture film cha­rac­ter. You can see at first glan­ce that these sex movies are among the mar­ket lea­ders in terms of qua­li­ty and content 

The picture-perfect women and well-built gen­tle­men are also noti­ceable. There are num­e­rous top-class porn actres­ses in the porn movies.

Many Digital Playground porn movies are very female-friendly and can be wat­ched tog­e­ther with your part­ner on the couch or in the bed­room. Due to the fea­ture film cha­rac­ter and the aes­the­tic per­spec­ti­ves, fema­le view­ers get their money­’s worth.

Unfortunately, one has to live with the limi­ta­ti­on that the porn site and the sex movies are not available in other lan­guages. But this can be forgiven.

Digitalplayground.com gets the full score in the over­all rating from us. You can hard­ly get some­thing of hig­her qua­li­ty on the porn market.
