XtendPlay

VENICE, CA March 2, 2011—Xwerx, an interactive product-design company based in Venice, California, today announced that XtendPlay, its popular and critically acclaimed controller-enhancement for original-equipment Xbox 360 and PlayStation controllers, is now available to the European market via Amazon.co.uk. The news comes less than four months since the product's U.S. launch in December 2010, on a wave of holiday buzz from sites like Kotaku and Joystiq and lively discussion among gamers on both sides of the Atlantic.

"Our readers have been clamoring for XtendPlay for months," said Richard Berry, Editor, Xboxer360.com. "It's been this way since the first review broke around the holidays. After reviewing an advanced copy of the product a few weeks ago, I understand everyone's excitement."

"We knew we had a winner a few days after launch," added Dave Sparling, Xwerx CEO & Co-Founder. "With this latest milestone, it's clear that we have tapped into a global consumer need to be more comfortable while gaming."

"It certainly hasn’t hurt our success to be officially endorsed by gaming celebrity Raymond Cox, better known to his fans as "Stallion83," the man with the highest Xbox LIVE Gamerscore in the world," added Mark Sparling, Xwerx COO. "His status within the worldwide gaming community is beyond question, which is why having him as one of our champions has been great."
