The navigation and presentation of the members' area was slightly disappointing after a pretty fantastic and informative free tour. That said, it was still fairly good. Its main problem was the fact that although all content was clearly dated, there was no information about forthcoming updates and with there having been no updates for over a month, this could be a problem. There isn't that much interaction with Phoenix although a live show was scheduled for tonight, as I write this. Not much information or description of the scenes or galleries either, and I would like some information about their exclusivity. Easy access to the bonus sites though.
All videos were available for download , with the option of downloading them coming for full file videos as well as shorter clips. The formats used were .WMV, .MP4 and .MPG with the best quality videos playing at 720x480px. There were no specific streaming options though, which I would have liked to have seen. All photo galleries came with a .ZIP file download option with the images in these sized at an impressive 1600x1200px. The screenshot galleries that accompany all videos were also available for .ZIP download with these images usually sized at 720x480px. There are currently 13 videos and 10 photo galleries hosted on the site.
It is by no means the first time that I've seen a site from the Premium Pass network (which you do get complete access to with a membership here) launch with a few updates, and then go immediately silent for a lengthy period of time. It makes absolutely no sense at all and if they are not even going to do us the courtesy of telling us when there might be some more updates, how exactly are you supposed to know whether you should subscribe?
If you know Phoenix then you will know that you can expect her to always look great and flash one of the sultriest pouts in the business. Her mix of hardcore, lesbian and solo scenes and galleries will go down a treat - but only if they actually add to them. The fact that she is scheduled to do a live show this evening is encouraging, but Phoenix Marie.com is currently really only half a site.
