The Perfect Controller

Larry Frum recently wrote an article on Xbox's latest invention. CNN published this piece Larry composed and it is now on their website entitled "New controller for Xbox 360 unveiled".  The information Frum provided describes the new device quite accurately.  His article was specifically about the new features of the controller.  He wrote about how the D-Pad may transform into a different figure by only a twist of the wrist.   In the past, some gamers have apparently been unimpressed with the Xbox's controller.  Larry Hryb, the programming director for Xbox Live, seems to think this is the perfect solution.  The entire look of the controller has also been changed, the outer shell has been finely coated with a stylish silvery finish.

 In this article, the writer makes a point to convince the reader that Microsoft has created a clever tool for playing games.  While reading, I understood everything with ease, the piece was certainly written carefully.  The sentences were written with a straightforward interpretation, which made the logic easy to follow.
The introduction to the article was rather interesting, and encouraged me to read more.  It introduced the topic well and smoothly led into presenting more information.

The article contained several items that were new to me.  The controller comes with the new finish and I was surprised to find out that the controller's D-Pad has been modified to be able to change shape. The author tried to entice readers into buying the device by listing all features and also mentioning the price, which was $64.99.  According to this author, that is a small price to pay for the perfect controller.
