Essentially they are now claiming that they will enforce the dress code that has apparently "always been a part of E3". An ignored part I am guessing. They now have fines in place (after a verbal warning) for models dressed inappropriately on any part of the floor.Last year I posted an article at a mass-blog I contribute to on the topic of booth babes. I guess it pretty clearly outlines my thoughts on the whole subject. I am interested in how you ladies react to the subject though.I also posted a follow up to that article since there was some change in the news recently. It details the announcements by the ESA a little more. You can check it out here.

Given that I am never likely to attend E3, nor have any particular wish to anyway, the impact of Booth Babes is negligible. While there are the usual "Best Booth Babes" articles in the coverage of the show, such articles do not prevent "real" news from being reported. If someone wants to stick a naked model performing sexual favours on their stand then, as far as I am concerned, I don't care since it will make no difference to whether or not I can read an article on how great Generic FPS 173 will be when it is released.

As the previous poster said, sex does not necessarily sell this industry. As a matter of fact, games the feature scantily cald women as the main selling point turn me off to the product, as it is generally being used to cover up the general crapiness of the product to begin with. I’m all for it.

I've failed to see how, other than catching one's attention for the briefest of moments, the tawdry apparance of women in gaming magazines and industry events actually said anything of worth to the actual content being advertised or how marketers and booth planners deemed it a necessary inclusion to "pretty" up their product. It strikes me as juvenile (and inconsequential to my gaming hobby) now as when I first heard the fateful term, "E3". This tardy enforcement is a refreshing change made, I feel, for the greater long-term benefit. The oft-repeated “sex sells” mantra never seemed to connect in this arena as it might elsewhere.
