Highest number and best selection of third party studios is the number one reason that Iโm here. I also like that you have the original uncompressed video files for download.
What do you value the most with your SLR Premium subscription?
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.

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
LordCrash If you were not aware, you can sub only to SLRO content:
https://www.slroriginals.com/
If that is all you want anyway, it is definitely the better choice as the price is around 50%
deltacloud there will be all sorts of craft scripts coming as we get more script creators and user submitted scripts coming

petermc Yeah, I understand. But I'm already subscribed to POVR for the occasional VR Hush or DeepInSex scene etc. Without the SLRO scenes I probably wouldn't be subscribed here.
petermc Yes. Suggestion threads are just suggestions. There's nothing to talk about there beyond "I want her, too" or whatever. Scene threads are much more likely to actually feature conversations. I don't think it's ideal that every scene on POVR gets its own thread though, should be limited to POVR/WVR/MVR scenes or maybe threads should only be visible in the forum after there is an actual comment for the scene. Always room for improvement.

Damn, so much really.
First and foremost the innovation and drive to push forward, beyond what anybody else is even doing or seemingly considering doing. Such as passthrough to the level you have gone, your ability to have gotten such a good image out of the K2 Pro camera despite its age. I am still impressed, I owned that thing and seeing your scenes was like magic.
Freaking custom background images for PT videos!
The fact that you produce your own content also and at the highest level of quality in both production and casting.
The fact that you dont only offer compressed versions of scenes from other studios but give us the option to also download the full file. Other sites seem to only offer a compressed version. As soon as I realized this I cancelled that other subscription.
The fact that you guys are clearly nuts about VR, and tech in general. I would have never imagined in a million years that your team would come up with a way to modify the freaking canon VR lens to fix the IPD issue. That's wild and shows true passion for this thing you are doing, and dont think I have forgotten that you still have not released more info about that, I'm still waiting to learn more!!!!!

yangbodyn Cool, I didn't know that this was an option tbh. I might change my sub then, thanks for the heads up, bud.
Edit: Too bad that it also includes the AR scenes. So I'm still required to pay money for AR porn although I'm only interested in VR porn. Bummer.
