Look, we put a half naked chick playing PS2 in the pic, just so horny males will buy the magazines!!!

I think thats trully pathetic.

Yeah im used to that image, I check http://www.gamesradar.com often.

Another example of gaming related sex sells type advert can be found in OPS2 with Silent Hill 2 demo and Airblade demo. The advert for GTC: Africa (think thats its name) has a fit chick in it.

You guys think that one is "bad"? You obviously missed the nude, airbrushed blonde back in the good ole\' Saturn days. For those of you who missed it, it was a nude blonde lady, laying on blue silk sheet and covering up her various "bits and pieces" was screenshots of Virtua Fighter 2, VIrtua Cop 2, Sega Rally and other various Saturn games..

Hmmm looks like a nice mag.........maybe I\'ll buy it............ohh darn I already have it....what can I say I like the (hald:() naked chick.

But in my defense, it was an issue of t3 (tomorrows technoligy today) and it had an article about the PS.2 and well sometimes gadgets turn me on more than chicks......NOW THAT\'S PATHETIC

Director: It\'s upside down.

Model: Oops, sorry.

Director: No, t goes in your hands.

What I really don\'t understand is "singers" who can\'t sing but have silicone breasts and bleached hair. (BS comes to mind.) WHY do men buy their albums? To see a couple of pictures? All these pictures can surely be found on the net.

Have to admit though, it works the other way round too... Young girls buying boy bands\' albums. But it\'s a bit different. After all, while listening to their songs they can dream..... Maybe that\'s it for those horny men too! I got it.

It\'s boring how they advertise anything with half naked women.

But since it\'s so popular it must be working.

Advertisement: Buy this chocolate bar!
Man: Nah..

Ad: Hmm.. Let\'s put this half naked woman here.
Ad: Buy this chocolate bar!
Man: Sure! *runs to the store*

Hmmmm. They don\'t even get pictures.

Again. I am glad I am not a man ;)

Do you really think that men are buying these albums?  Give me a break.  Men are looking at pictures on the net hating her music, but loving everything she is.  

Pre-teen girls are buying the CDs.  Have you ever seen the audience at one of her concerts?  She just had a concert on HBO and the only men their were 40 year old with their daughters.

Sadly, sluts like her are now role models.

Give me a true beauty like Charlotte Church anyday. Damn that girl can sing:)

Britney Speares doesn\'t know what she is.

Continental Slut or Virginus Beauty.

As for the games mags, I think thats its sad that they need to incorporate sex into the games industry, because thats a sign that its not serviving by itself as an industry within itself.

You got good taste man!  And Video you took the words right outta my mouth, err.... letters right outta my keyboard. :nerd:

I tend to stay away from products whose ad campaigns usually have absolutely nothing with the products themselves.  Maybe that\'s why I don\'t vote. :)  (j/k I do)

I don\'t care, Britney is hot and she was here in Vegas at the MGM a few weeks ago and 4 of my guy friends stood outside the hotel in the cold (yeah it\'s pretty chilly here in the winter) for 7 hours hoping to get a "feel".

lol, I need new friends.

Yeah, the rest was very true, but if it didn\'t sell it wouldn\'t work and it would stop.

Exactly, that\'s why I said "It must be working". :)

She\'s not really even holding the control that well.

Kinda like how Osama Bin Laden holds a microphone like a fag!

Good ol\' Alliance-times come into the mind, \'tho :D


Move that damn controller out of the way, woman!
Geez, I never predicted there\'d be a day when I see a game-controller being more lucky than me...

A hot chick that plays videogames!
So there IS hope in the world!
