Shady P.I. puts a new spin on reality voyeur content. The theme? A sleazy detective follows cheating wives and girlfriends and gets video footage when he catches them in the act - and we get to see the proof in pics and hidden cam videos. The site is brand-spanking new, so it's still on the small side with 9 videos, and since the site only opened its doors this week, there's no way to say for sure whether they'll be updating regularly so we'll go back and check in a few weeks. Now let's take a look at the content!
The videos inside Shady P.I. are offered in 3 formats - WMV, MPG and Flash. The best of the bunch are the downloadable WMVs, and of course I prefer the full scene. The WMVs are shown at 452x300 with a bitrate of 1.3 Mbps, and they look pretty good considering that spycams and dark hotel rooms will lower the visual quality of any video a little. At full screen, the WMVs lose some sharpness, but are still watchable. And if you are on Mac or just don't care for WMVs, you can watch the videos as MPG full scenes or streaming Flash clips.
Each video comes with 2 sets of videos - a set of good amateur quality digital stills and a set of vidcaps. It's probably worth mentioning that the digital stills mostly cover the set up - the chick going to meet the guy she'll be cheating with. In several cases, it doesn't include inside the room, which makes sense - after all, the detective wouldn't be standing at the foot of the bed snapping away. If you want to preview the video, the vidcaps do a great job.
Full members of Shady P.I. get access to 12 bonus sites in the same network, most of which have exclusive content and downloadable videos. There's a good mix of porn niches here, including big cock sex, euro chicks, ex-girlfriends, deep throat and big tits.
There are a few issues here. For one thing, the join page has 2 pre-checked offers on it, so be sure and read those to be sure you're interested. Next, I believe the trials are limited trials - that means trial members probably don't get full site access. Also the trial memberships rebill at $15 per month more than the standard monthly memberships cost. And last, there are a lot of ads in the member area, including a pop over that appears when you first log in, then disappears.
Shady P.I. has a great theme - I love the idea of a sleazy private investigator following cheating spouses and girlfriends around and catching them on tape. I also think the videos are hot. The site is new, so it's small - only 9 episodes - but with luck it will be updating regularly. I'll let you know soon. In the meantime, all the videos are downloadable and full members get access to plenty of bonus sites. Just keep in mind that trial members probably don't get full access and pay more for their recurring charges. The bottom line - if you love voyeur content or amateur girls caught on cam, Shady P.I. is definitely worth checking out! |

Content Quality
The videos are offered with a good bitrate, but keep in mind that voyeur vids are never the best. Still, these are good quality for voyeur vids, and the pics are good. |

Content Quantity
While the site only has 9 episodes, it is a brand new site that opened this week. |

Updates
This is a guess since the site is brand new. We'll check it in a few weeks and see how often it's been updating. |

Honesty
The tour says these videos are shot in HD. Well, they may be, but they aren't offered to members in HD. |
2.0 |
Presentation
Site looks good, has some nice features. Now if they didn't have so many ads, life would be good. |
2.5 |
Value
While the site is small, the unusual theme and tons of bonus content still makes this a fair value - but keep in mind that there are no other voyeur sites in the network! |

Site rating, not an average. |
