How else do you expect people to be interested in whatever product is being sold?

I can say that at least in 2005, the booth babes were dressed nicely or as video game characters:

Ubi Booth Babes

Prince of Persia Booth Babes:

Sorry for the bad quality of the picture, but I think the distance was a bit far for the flash to help properly. It's been 6 years since I took it.

You'd have to go somewhere before the beach, because if you went to the beach you'd only see girls who were already at the beach, not ones who were going to the beach.

And that statement only serves to perpetuate the notion that video games are immature and that no adults should play them. Which is blatantly false.

I personally think that they are unnecessary and are far too distracting.

Sex sells, this proves it. The whole point is to sell the game. So we have: Sex+Game=Sells

And I'd like to add, this chick is very much sexy. If I saw her in person, I would definitely ask her about the game she represents (among other things ;) ). Hence the point of game booth babes.

Unless there is a beach at a lake near Leipzig, those ladies are not headed to the beach. I tend to think of the beach the strip of sand at the ocean/sea. I think those outfits are quite cute, but then what do I know, I am a guy who likes the female form.

I see no problem there. They are representing Ubisoft based off shirt and skirt, but I do agree that it would be nice if they represent their company by dressing up in a cosplay outfit of one Ubisofts female characters. They just look like plain Janes to me....

They're not necessary but having them around improves the chances of them being noticed which could result in more potential customers.

We need more hot MEN in skimpy outfits. I'm tired of only seeing boobs, as a gay citizen I demand more delicious male flesh... and I'm not talking about the sweaty, fatty, nerd audience that attends those shows.

You need booth attendants of some sort, they might as well be easy on the eye. Personally i like how the Chinese use strategically placed temporary tattoos.

Employing these young ladies helps stimulate the economy, doesn't it? :P

Games, cars, sports (beach volleyball excepted) probably don't need them, but it's always nice to have an excuse to see good looking women.
