    I would have thought that it's the only time that people who travel around the world just to visit the event would get to see women dressed in such ways.

    What a shame.
    Something witty and fun that amuses you.

    It is kinda a weird experience walking around a venue with so many scantily clad women that want you to take photos of them, by banning them I think a lot of the excitement from shows will be taken away.

    I'm sure many journalists don't REALLY care that much about games and need motivation from gorgeous girls to get through their day

    That said, i'm sure that exhibitors will go as far as they can without explicitly breaking the rules and it won't REALLY make much difference!

    Think of the hot babes, how will they make money without their E3 cash?

    I mean, it might end up driving them to prostitution - and it'll be on you hands you callous barstewards!

    suddenly going to E3 really will be dull, it wont be an excuse to the girlfriend/wife anymore but the truth!
    Please, Don't ask for that one 'as a desktop'...its really not worth wasting your time asking, unless you're able to pay £££?
