On the up-side, 429 Videos has loads of content with over 2,800 scenes, plus a huge set in the bonus Boyfriend Tube area. On the down-side, none of this is exclusive, but then it is not advertised as such so that's not really a problem. What we have is a huge collection of porn scenes from various studios, all with a BF theme, whatever that is. And actually, I don't think there is a theme as such, just lots of gay porn.

You log in and find a great long category list to one side which will help you filter down to the kind of thing you like to see. Or you can start at page one and work through the sample images at 24 per page This is the first set of content you come to and is titled BF Videos. I really am confused these days as to what BF means. I thought it started off with those self-submit sites where guys were sending in images of their ex-boyfriends by way of revenge. Now it seems to cover everything and therefore has no meaning. There's nothing amateur of self-shot about the content I saw here, it was from studio like Lucas Entertainment, and others.
Anyhow, each of these videos comes with a title of some sort and a quick description. You click a sample pic and the video loads in that same window, with the other samples still around it, so no upload dates, information, links to models or anything like that. Its simply a plug-in and play kind of site. There were various stream choices here but I had trouble running some, the WMV versions, for example, simply brought a black screen where the video should be, and some of the Flash streams were not found and produced error messages. There were Mp4, Flash and WMV streams but I can't tell you the technical details as there was no info and no way to download them, that I could find. If I tried a right click and save I downloaded a PHP script only, so that didn't work.
The second content area, as found on the top menu, is called DVD Archive but I am not sure if this is a kind of a bonus, or part of the content count. I've treated it as a bonus area when counting the number of scenes on the site. There were 332 scenes in this area and they were from four listed studios: Erotic Men, Lucas Entertainment, Raunch by Lucas and Sparta Video. This area was organised in a much better way, with details and upload dates and I could see that there were multiple uploads here every day. These scenes had their own viewing pages, with details of the DVD from which they came, and were stream only. There were also links to the other scenes from that DVD and the studio, and categories.
The third area of content in the members area is called BF Tube, and this is where I was able to download some files in Mp4 format. The first on the list started to stream as soon as I opened page one, so we are back to having streams within index pages, so no details and no interactive options. But I did have up to four choices for download and three for streaming on most video scenes here, and you can give each scene a like or a not-like if you want
The site does come with good search and sort options, and there are category lists to use as well. I didn't find any comments facilities nor an add to favourites one, and it was a bit short on information. So, I was never sure what the BF thing was all about. The rest of my menu took me to up-sells for cam and chat sites, and to adverts for other membership sites, plus a support area.
You get a choice of viewing quality that includes some HD downloads and streams; and you can also use low resolution streams to suit slower connections. Generally speaking you are looking at movies that are studio produced, decent quality, DVD style and fine to view. No problems with sound or light, the site is generally easy to navigate.
Between the BF Videos and Boyfriend Tube areas of the site I found 5,896 scenes, with several new ones being added every day. These are non-exclusive and mainly concern twinks and jocks, 20s and 30s guys in solo, hardcore and group action. There were no galleries that I could find, but there were over 300 more studio scenes from DVDs in a third area.
You get a whole heap of content at 429 Videos, there's no denying that. There are HD scenes and lots of variety in the action. You can stream and download most of it and you have a choice of players and resolutions. The site is reasonably easy to access, and you don't pay a huge amount for a lot of porn.
It is all non-exclusive, some files were missing, some didn't stream, there are few interactive options and sometimes no details about scenes. Were not sure what BF stands for in the menu. There are quite a few adverts on the site and a pre-checked cross ale to another site on the sign up pages. The trial day renews at a higher rate than the monthly fee.
The membership fees are set at a good rate considering you get such a lot of content, even though it is not exclusive. There is that pre-checked cross sale and the recurring trial is high. There is no bonus site as such but you do have an area of a DVD Archive with studio releases to view.
I go back to what I said at the top: on the one hand you've got a load of content here and with new scenes coming in all the time, but on the other they are not exclusive and you may have seen some before. I am still unsure what the BF of the menu areas is all about, these are not self-submit movies, but studio produced scenes.
