Movie prices

[rollin_dubs187]

What's the deal with the dramatic increase in scene prices? I remember an average movie was 2 tickets, with the lower quality only costing 1, and high demand content no more than four. Now the scenes range from 2.5 to 5.5! Why the increase. I can only download about movies per month with my membership now. I love this site, and it's content is great, but it is getting WAY too expensive for my tastes anymore.

Im happy to comment this.
Personally my production cost is highly increased in the last 6-8 months because of many reason.
For example to shoot in 4k requires a more expensive camera and the editing requires different machines. Its about 0.2-0.3 ticket/scene
Organization cost is very significant lately and to get good girls requires higher money investment.
Many girls increased rates because of high demand and also boys asked for a increase.
Without to count the fact that shoot good porn requires time, know how and experience that cost money.
Use a different location then my studio influence the price for 0.5-1 ticket (I started to do it and I will keep do it)

The result is that IMO the quality of my content is increased of almost 200%, probably even more with the last content I start to shoot in the last day. I do not compare my content with the content from other studio, I want to be clear on this.

Truly, at the bottom the profit is a bit tighter then before and it wont increase much, but its fine.I think i can rise another step the quality as soon as I will be able to forming a pair of new actor, and shooting on different location, but this takes time.

I completly understand how popular girls cost more, or how more girls in a scene cost more...Buth that stupid fuckin 4k. It takes forever to stream, bloats up my hardrive when downloaded, and doesnt even look good unless you have a 4k monitor. Who needs porn in 4k anyways. If 1080 is not good enough for you, you have problems. I would gladly give up 4k for cheaper movies, and then we can get the 4k once the tech becomes cheaper.

On a side note. To help decrease the cost for male talent, I would gladly offer my services free of charge. I have been watching porn since I was 13 years old and consider myself an expert. Its all about camera angle.

Thanks Giogio for the quick response

Completely asinine statement, spoken like someone way too cheap to ever buy another hard drive for excellent quality scenes or 4k TV!

Completely disagree with rollin_dubs, I am happy to pay more for 4k scenes!

You dont know me asshole. Go fuck yourself. I make 6 figs a year, I got pleanty if money for all that. But I am not stupid enough to want to spend all my money on porn. There IS more important shit out there. You dont know you asshole from a grapefruit. If you NEED 4k porn, tou need to get a life, or a least a better hobby.

Furthermore, if 1080 porn doesnt do it for you anymore, and you need 4k porn to get off, then you have problems. I mean like serious "I should probably just kill myself" problems.

Also, you forgot to mention the slow download speed. That shit is their server, not my internet. Wait 4 hrs for a 4k vid? No thanks I'll take the 1080, or even 720. I dont need to see every speck of turd inside the girls asshole, or every hair stubble on her pussy. Asisinine statement? Bitch please

Spoken like a true sociopath! Lol 6 figures - Internet translation - you make minimum wage, live in your parents basement, clearly very angry, hate your life and rarely get laid! If your crippling lack of education didn't fail you, you would be able to afford $100 to buy a 3-4 TB hard drive and 4k vids would not be an issue. It's better people like you stay isolated from society.

Even if you download the 1080 version of a video shot in 4k, the benefit on the video quality are substantial. Its not really important what version you download, to use a good 4k camera increase the quality also of downscaled files (for the same size).

We noted this think is postproduction form the beginning, downscale a 4k files to 1080, gives a better quality then to shoot directly in 1080.
4k records almost 4-5 time more data then 1080, and even I am the one who believe in porn video quality is not so important, it has increased a bit my sales.

I think GG comment is fairly valid, but they should try to keep it as cheap as possible.

Because at the end of the day, Legalporno is not only competing against websites that are cheaper and offer good quality too, but also against streaming websites that offer porn completely for free.

Those of us who are here, we are choosing to support something we love. But it is a luxury.

The 3 month subscription plan, when looked from a long term perspective, it's a $320 USD per year plan, that somehow manages to only let's you see a fraction of whats available in LP.
And at that price, which is the cheapest possible, it's nearly 2 times more expensive than other big names in the industry.

For instance, GG released 10 scenes back in June. And with the 40 tkt you get every month with the 3 month plan (the best plan). You would be able to only buy 8 out of those 10 scenes.
SO, the "best plan" is not even good enough to follow ONE of the THREE studios available. And you would be pretty much skipping ANY other great content released by Sineplex and Gonzo.

So when we say something in the forum like: "man, prices are pretty steep" what we mean is "show us so love back"

We appreciate the 1080p and 4K porn, we do. But really, that's you, staying competitive with the rest of the industry.

Maybe now that Legalporno is well established, it's time to rethink the monetizing strategy.

[Giorgio Grandi]

I do not think LP is expensive, I think the other website are very cheap. Back in the time a good DVD costed like 20 euro, now user complains about 4 euro for a scene that has better quality then a good dvd.

2 days ago I shot a scene that costed me almost 2 time and 1/2 more then usual. 8 boys and 2 woman, over 100 minutes of fun in a great location. Price goes according to quality. I do not like to compare my content with other producer, but I do not think there is someone shooting something similar to what I shoot. Its normal that it cost more, the niche is not really so wide.

I am even going to increase the updates soon because I think porn is a emotional purchase. I think that if you do not have anymore ticket, just can simply buy other tickets.

30 euro for 10 h of porn is more then fair, very cheap comparing to DVD. Also, where the hell you find a scene 8on2 with 100 minutes of sex in every hole? The system of LP give the opportunity to producer content that otherwise would not exist. Remember this.

[dpconnoisseur1]

Many girls increased rates because of high demand and also boys asked for a increase.

Yes, pay whatever is fair to retain the talent. I'm a loyal fan and would follow the same talent if there performance level stays the same until they retire. New models are nice to minimize repetition but proven talent is the best in my opinion.

Use a different location then my studio influence the price for 0.5-1 ticket (I started to do it and I will keep do it)

I'm going to always prefer the control environment of the white room studio but must admit Gonzo strip bar and Sineplex outdoor scenes have been at minimum welcome change to add variety in the scenes.

2 days ago I shot a scene that costed me almost 2 time and 1/2 more then usual. 8 boys and 2 woman, over 100 minutes of fun in a great location.

I can't wait to get my hands on this scene!

I am even going to increase the updates soon because I think porn is a emotional purchase. I think that if you do not have anymore ticket, just can simply buy other tickets.

Finally, this is what I have been saying for a while now. If there is great content I don't wait for my ticket to recharge I simply add more tickets. I know not everyone chooses to do this so they can budget there spending but I hope enough do so that all studios increase their updates.

I totally agree with this. I own a lot of old DVDs and when I look back at how much I spent on them it's crazy. Especially when I usually bought them mainly for 1 or 2 scenes on each disc.

LP is completely worth the money since they produce the very best porn on the planet by far. I mean, where else can you see two hot girls doing Double Anal side by side? Answer: Nowhere. I think they are justified in charging more than other sites since the content is so much better.

I think the problem for some is that there are so many good scenes that it seems expensive if you want to buy them all I think this is a better problem to have than other sites that only release 1 or 2 good scenes a week or month even though they only charge a flat monthly fee.

I am inclined to disagree. In the states I can buy an HD hardcore porn movie with 4-6 scenes for about 20 - 30 dollars. I pay 30 bucks a month and get 4-6 scenes. This cost is the same, and NOT significantly cheaper. Regardless, we should not be comparing the cost of the website to the cost of dvds, since they are not the same thing, apple and oranges. We should be comparing them to other websites. Other popular website such as brazzers, 21st sextury, evilangel charge 29.99 a month with no download restrictions. They will add about a vid a day (sometime 2 or 3) giving me access to over 30 new scenes a month. So, about buck a scene. Not to mention I have access to all previous scenes and many sites have the same female talent. With your site I get access to around 4-6 scenes depending on cost. Now your guys content was WAY better than most others, which I why I was willing to pay 2-3 times more than other sites. But now your prices have more than doubled and I am paying around 6-8 times more than other sites. That cost is too much.

All of this with forum talk of:
"Same Old Shitty Male Talent"
viewtopic.php?f=96&t=12323
And these guys want more money? Tell them to fuck off. Where else they gonna go? They get paid to fuck hot chicks in the ass. How much should they make? This is something I (and anyone else in here) would do for free. If they want more money, find new guys. There are plenty out there and I am sure you would have no problem. It simple supply and demand. They would deserve more if there wasn't millions of others that would do it for cheaper.

Bad camera work
viewtopic.php?f=96&t=12323
and another topic about how the site seems to be going downhill (which has seemed to been removed)

I agree with both of these topics. It seems like you guys are just pumping out scene after scene with no attempt to make the movies any good. I cannot tell you how many movies I have download for 5 tickets to be disappointed, generally due to lazy directing and bad camera work. In my opinion quantity has gone up, and quality has gone down. Please don't be offended by my comments. I am just expressing my true opinions here.

All this and the price goes up? And your right Where can I watch 10 guys fuck 1 girl? But who cares? Only 4 of the 10 are worth a damn. The other 6 are amateurs with small dicks who don't know how to fuck on camera. Not to mention you can only get 4 in at a time at most. Might as well just have 4 good ones, instead of adding the other 6 to just get in the way. I am sorry Giorgio, I used to love your site, but it is getting way too expensive for me to have to try and sift through 10 bad scenes to try and find the 1 good one.

I think the problem for some is that there are so many good scenes that it seems expensive if you want to buy them all I think this is a better problem to have than other sites that only release 1 or 2 good scenes a week or month even though they only charge a flat monthly fee.

I too think this is a problem for someone who is new to the site, and sees hundreds of scenes they want to download then realize they cannot just pay a monthly fee to download them all. Those of us who have been members for years already have quite a stockpile and thus are not overwhelmed. We have also spent a lot of money to buy these scenes but it has been spread out and well worth it.

I too remember buying a ton of DVD's back in the day for $20-25 apiece, many of which I only wanted to see a couple of scenes on them. I haven't bought a DVD in a LONG time, but when you think about it, now you can get monthly web memberships to many sites and download the entire catalogue if you wanted to for close to the same price. LP does not operate in the same fashion, but still a GREAT deal as compared to the DVD days, plus we get them in 4k res now.

it is true that this site is pricey but im sure everyone is spoiled from other website like brazzers, evilangel, ect where they have unlimited downloads. But you have to understand that this is still a business and they have content that no other site have. Sometimes you just have to fork out the extra cash to get what you want So for I have enjoy this site very much and I plan on staying here for awhile. 4k HD is awesome if you have a TV that can handle it, also 4k has better surround sound too. I enjoy very high quality 1080p/4k scenes cause i have the video card and tv to handle it, and i a sure you can tell the difference right away in the quality from 1080 to 4k! Cant wait till GG come out with next! Keep up the good job GG and thx for reply to us! Makes us feel connected to LP

Its not a little pricy. It is REALLY pricey. I didnt mind it when it was just a little expensive, but now prices are ridiculous. I used to get 10 scenes per month with my membership, now I get 4-5. Prices have doubled, and content hasnt changed much. Like I said, I don't mind paying per scene or more for the content. but with recent prices I feel I am not getiing my moneys worth.

[gapefan]

As an avid high quality porn collector and fan, LP has always been well worth the price of admission to me

And I most certainly don't mind paying a little extra for the best girls, in 4K resolution

Porn is definitely an emotional purchase for me! I would spend a months' worth in a week, and reload three more times before my next refill, if the types of scenes I purchase were made so readily available! More content would be amazing!

Keep up the great work xxx, Sun of Sin, and Giorgio! And I'll keep buying your scenes!

You seem to be such an expert on m life, yet everything you say is speculation, thus is meaningless. However, let's take a look a your life and things we KNOW to be true. You are a troll for a porno website forum... Ya know, It really doesn't get any lower than that. Good luck troll. Tell your mom she failed. I am sure she is right upstairs.

^ Always funny when an internet parasite calls someone else a troll. All I will say is I hope you get a job soon so you can buy your meds!
