Microsoft registered a trademark for 'Xbox Now' in late March. If this is true, this is incredible. I couldn't believe it could get any worse than 'Xbox Infinity' but I think it just did.

edit: Looking at the trademark classification, it's more likely that this is the name of a service, possibly VOD.

A 38 Nice Classification comes under Telecommunications.

Perhaps the Nextbox version of Skype?

Maybe they'll call it Xbox Then.

Well, we might as well think ahead and try to figure out what the next-next-gen Xbox will be called, if this one is really called Now. :p

One of the great things about the brand "PlayStation" is that it rolls off the tongue quite easily in nearly every language. If Microsoft name the next Xbox, Xbox Now! then they yet again show to be completely US centered. Even the 360 part of Xbox 360 is bad, internationally.

Xbox Now doesn't have a great ring to it. If that ends up being true so do the rumors of an always-on connection being required. Instant gaming with updates built in.

I could see an ever evolving world with an always-on system. Where something like a Miiverse social environment would be built in along the lines of Simcity type gaming.

Looking at the thread though the proof isn't very good. Several people have that Banjo picture signed by all the staff and many fans have that exact shirt and business card. Leigh Loveday usually includes his business card with the packages that Rare sends out for twitter competitions.

"Now" is something many can pronounce (or learn to pronounce easily) as it's only 3 letters. I agree with you in general and it's a good argument against "Infinite" and "Infinity" but "Now" is fine.

But it doesn't sound for shit. You imagine answering to people by saying 'I'm getting that game on the Now, wanna play on my Now?" etc. Atrocious man.

In the words of that random 4ch user - timestamp!!!

This is a part of my personal collection. I literally have over 400 Rare items including, merch, poster and banners, employee items and promo stuff. I took that above image a year ago. I just pulled it from my photobucket collection to show you that random people that do not work for Rare have business cards and cool Rare items.

I am not by any of my collection though so I can't take another picture with a timestamp. Sorry...

I posted this in the other thread about the 4chan post but why the user is covering up the right side is because that is where Leigh Loveday usually writes a personal notes and then signs it...
