-variety: lots of different things
-the quantity: I'm going to die before I get around to it, it's sad lol
-it's well done, the deo player is very well done
-you can download: otherwise I would never have invested in the lifetime
-I also have a lifetime subscription for wankz (and milf): both subscriptions are cool
-jav: cool (too bad we can't download: I download the videos to cut them and I watch the extracts: that's my thing
I got what I paid for
What do you value the most with your SLR Premium subscription?
Large content library and interactive scripts
Mostly the library, aside from SLRO, there's VRSpy, RealJamVR, VRedging, Wankz/MilfVR, JAV. If only VRBangers and CzechVR stayed, that would be awesome.
SLRO itself still has the best Western VR scenes (1h30m+, storyline, immersive for most at least), lately the quantity and quality of such scenes have decreased, but for now, still trumps other studios (though RJVR is catching up imo, and there's the new VRspy studio that looks promising).
While I appreciate that SLR is always trying to innovate, my hope is they do not neglect the fundamentals because that's what keeps people like me coming here. Good casting, good plot/immersion, and good visual quality. That's really what it's all about at the end of the day.
My wishlist:
-Better plot/more immersion instead of just dropping you in and you're immediately fucking. It's the scenarios that add to the hotness.
-Getting back to the crisp quality that SLRO used to have. Lately the colors/saturation/lighting in scenes have been god awful and ruined a lot of extremely anticipated releases for me. I really can't express just how disappointing that was. I've been begging other studios to shoot Kendra Sunderland and Layla Jenner now because I need at least one good scene with them
Here are some high level bullet points to start with. Happy to dive into more details in any of the below.
Streaming quality
SLR is far ahead of it's competitors here, with full support for 8k streaming. Most competitors require you to download the video and play it locally for full quality, which is cumbersome.Interface and UI
The interface is extremely well done. I can quickly pull up the categories I'm interested in, and sort by popularity/newest. Then skip to the chapters of the video I want to see.
On top of that, set up playlists to sort my favorite videos.
Navigation is absolutely excellent, SLR is leagues ahead of the competition here.Built in scripting support, as a first class experience
Again, completely unmatched by the competition. Scripted content can be streamed, without a need to download.
And AI scripts that add another dimension to videos that are not quite popular enough to make it for manual scripts. I tried these out and they're pretty good as an early iteration - I'm happy to share additional more detailed thoughts on this.Cutting edge immersion features, like multi-axis and PT.
As before, no other competitor does anything like this. I can't wait to see multi-axis haptics becoming more prevalent in this space.Content - SLR Originals Video Quality
For me, the resolution and video quality really really matter. I want to see content that is as lifelike as possible. SLR does a really good job here.Content - SLR Originals variety and frequency
SLR has more original content, and publishes original content at a higher rate than other competitors.
While not every video is to my taste (which is ok), I will say that I enjoy a higher proportion of SLR-original content than say POVR-original content. This is because SLR tends to cast naturally beautiful women, in scenes that feel more realistic. Again, this is highly subjective - different folks like different things which is ok. If you ask me what I'd like to see more of - some more creampie endings would be nice.Content - Partner studios
There are a few other really good partner studios that produce high quality content that I enjoy (DeepInSex, VREdging, FPassVR, TabooVR and a cuple others), so there is a good selection of content. SLR's library is huge when looking at the raw count, but for me, most of the 3rd party studio videos are shot at too low resolution for me to find them enjoyable.
I feel overall the premium membership is worth every cent. After trying it for a month and checking out the competition, I bought the full lifetime package .
I'm here for the scripts and the girls . I've enjoyed both the casting selection and the funscripts since I've started my subscription and this is the longest porn subscription i've ever had.
I do enjoy the community too while there's plenty of us here just to ogle the performers I actually think there's some interesting technical and creative discussions around the video content and hardware that I find a little more sophisticated than other porn sites i've chatted on.
But ultimately it's the girls and scripts.
Highest number and best selection of third party studios is the number one reason that I’m here. I also like that you have the original uncompressed video files for download.
What I value most:
- The HAREM series - no other studio comes close. Please SLR, never stop!
- SLR Originals - great casting, directing (love all, but Nash is my #1), variety, locations, themes, fetishes, groupings
- Community - I used to be way more active on the Wankz forum, but I end up spending more time here instead
- Innovation - 200 fisheye, 190 Canon hack, scripting emphasis, etc
What I used to value about SLR but not as much anymore (not a dig, just found better alternatives):
- Used to love the app, but have moved over to HereSphere. For a PC User, HereSphere is better for me
- Used to love coming to SLR for VR camgirls, but have since moved to StripChat for the number of camgirls
deltacloud While I have rotating subs at other VR sites, SLR is the only one I have an annual sub to. Primarily for 3 reasons:
Realcumber is the best script maker in the game and his scripts are worth the price of admission
SLR has refined passthrough to a point that I now prefer the grey room/suit passthroughs over the "mega production" setups seen in videos like "Mile High Club"
ExperimentationLet me talk about that last one just a bit because I know it's a mixed bag. SLR tries a lot of things that don't work the first time, but they keep at it. There are a lot of commons complaints that I fully agree with (awkward scale, inconsistent lighting, poor camera positioning, odd transitions, etc.), but these are complaints I share with other sites as well. Some sites might have a slight advantage on things like image quality or scale, but then they fail at giving me exciting scenarios or a wide range of models. Maybe they've nailed lighting and positioning but they only have AI generated scripts and use cookie cutter sets. What I'm guaranteed with at SLR is that every month there is going to be at least 1 or 2 videos (and scripts) that are absolutely worth it because they've done something unique. Everything else is a bonus. On other sites I'll sub for 30 days and then check back in a few months later and see if there's been a few videos that I'm really interested in. At SLR, I've never looked back at a given month and felt that the sub was a waste for that month.
Excellent thread @proslr and really amazing feedback @deltacloud as well as everyone else chiming in here!
I think thats a great point made of what we've been able to achieve so far here at SLR to date and continue to strive for - guaranteed quality content with experimentation that only continues to improve with the overall net goal and aim to have your membership feel worth the price of admission
I personally think the scripts we have at SLR are something that is unique and compelling that brings a level of physical realism and immersion that was only ever dreamt of in the past - and this is only the beginning!

Still sticking around for one reason and one reason only: The closeup missionary. Besides that, it's hard to distinguish between an SLRO and Povr, or Badoink scene, for instance.
My yearly subscription is up in two weeks, and if Jia Lissa's scenes don't feature this position, I might reconsider renewing.
SLRO VR scenes
That's about it.
g2kbuffetboy Community - I used to be way more active on the Wankz forum, but I end up spending more time here instead
Which community? It's pretty much dead now. There are only one zillion casting threads and you're not allowed to talk freely anymore.
LordCrash Have you checked out some of the other studios mentioned on this thread (RealJam, VREdgin, DeepInSex)? Some of those scenes are pretty well done. The newer VRSpy scene was also impressive.
Once in a while, I just pull up the latest video feed and just click through them. 90% of the scenes are a pass for me, but once in a while, I stumble on something good.
LordCrash I agree to a certain extent. I've been vocal a few times in other very frustrating threads, but I still think it's great a lot of the directors, editors, etc are around to participate and sometimes even respond. I feel like whenever I give feedback to most other studios, it doesn't get across, or rather, it's a closed door and I just have to hope someone is reading/listening on the other end. (I do agree that The Wankz community will always be my home base for my VR buddies, but regarding Wankz vs SLR productions themselves, I feel like feedback goes a lot further here then there).
g2kbuffetboy it really does even if not always communicated here. Trying to get it fixed as well
Forum is my favorite place now for sure. And it's getting better
Pro
Scripts - quality scripts on a regular basis and the AI script fallback getting a lot better now. The number one for me as no other site does this nearly as well.
Content - Best selection of content imo, a lot of nice originals and also studio's like VrEdging and many others.
Innovation - imo SLR pushes VR porn forward more than any other site. Things like passthrough, how they got scripts to the masses, introducing some non vanilla content, etc.
Community - I think it's cool how a lot of company stuff is openly discussed here.
Con
Walled garden - I think SLR often tries to force people to do things their way. You almost have to stream and use deovr if you like scripts for instance. I hate walled gardens.
Inconsistent image quality - the originals had a lot of issues in terms of image quality over the past period. Glad to see SLR move to 8k though. Image quality is a huge deal to me.

g2kbuffetboy Agree with you there. I appreciate the fact that you can at least engage with SLR. It's better then other sites where there is no avenue for feedback at all or the feedback never gets any response.
- Edited
I'm a big fan of adding AI scripts to backfill the massive library and constant stream of included studios. There's still a noticeable quality gap on the kind of videos I personally enjoy the most when AI is involved. So for example I would be disappointed if most of the future SLRO passthrough or VRedging videos started to only have AI scripts. The multi-script functionality SLR added in was a smart move. AI is a 'quick fix' and you can still have a hand crafted, superior script once it's ready. I just hope y'all continue investing in good script makers. Hopefully that's some of what our subs are helping fund
