    I love the Sega CD start-up. The Sega logo, Sonic flicks stars at it, then a low-key "saaaayyy-gaaaaahhhh" tune. Then the REAL music begins. The Sega CD logos spoins and twirls over a space scene while an incredible theme song plays. First time I saw it, it was just magical to me. Sometime I turn my Sega CD on without a game, just so I can see and hear that start-up sequence.

    DC is probably my favorite that i can remember. i agree with the PSone being kind of grating, especially with shitty speakers. the ps2 kind of gets annoying, but that's probably because i've heard it a billion times.

    I have to say PSP but the closest one was Dreamcast, I think Dreamcast is #1 and for the love of god Nintendo Fanboys just give up already... gamecube xbox & ps2 have lame startups..... (my opinion only..lol)

    I would have to agree on Dreamcast...although Saturn is a close second. (And who else likes the badass spaceship that flies around when you play a CD on the Saturn?)

    Does anybody else get creeped out by the ambient noise for the Xbox dashboard? Reeeeally quiet alien noises that can barely be heard over some computerish white noise. Gives me the willies if I leave it on for too long.

    #1. DREAMCAST of course. Even now it brings me back to when the DC was the answer to all my gaming prayers I was soo bored with PSone before DC came along and jump started the 128-bit Gen with a BIG BANG incredible SMOOTH 3-D graphics faaaar more advanced than what was the standard at the time excellent AAA games Soul Calibur and RE:Code Veronica mmmm gaming heaven all the way

    #2.Sega Saturn: reminds me of all the loong hours I spent playing Dayeeeetona! and the arcade perfect Saturn port of Streetfighter Alpha 2.

    #3. PS2: yeah ive heard it a million times also but have gotten used to it and for some reason actually like it now after all these years

    #4. Gamecube: luved this one first time I saw it just made the GC Feel like a Nintendo system unlike the N64 wich felt like an unfinished console for some reason.

    #5.PSone brings back lots of old memories. some bad (brown jaggie graphics everywhere) but mostly good MGS and RE oh yeah and Final Fantasy but my fav was part 9 not 7

    My two picks aren't on the list...

    #1 - JVC X'Eye, it plays the Japanese MegaCD BIOS music if I remember properly. Anyway, it's my favorite startup screen for a few reasons: I looks like a corny screensaver from the early 90's, one of my friends thought it was some XBox proto when they saw the startup screen (with the big X) for the first time, and the surprise it gave me to see it pop up when I brought my X'Eye home from the flea market - it was only $3 after all.

    #2 - NeoGeo Pocket Color, just the little tune it plays and how "NEOGEO POCKET" forms from scatered pixels swirling downward toward the center. It always makes me smile.

    #3 - TurboDuo, clean and to the point. PUSH RUN BUTTON!

    No, that's the little animation that plays if you boot the system up without inserting a disc. It only plays for a few seconds if there's a disc inside.

    Oh, and Dreamcast, followed very closely by the European Mega-CD model 2 BIOS. I love the abstractness of the background =P

    Damn Ive always wanted one of those that or a SegaCDX or whatever it was called.

    and 3$ damn that is a hell of a deal even better than the Sega Saturn I picked up at a flea market for 6$ only one controller and no hookups or games though but still worth it.

    I also remember the Turbo-duos luanch up one of my friends had one I was soooo jealous

    The SegaCDX is the little discman-sized Genesis + Sega CD. The JVC X'Eye is the US rework of the JVC Wondermega 2 - again, Sega Genesis + Sega CD. Only about 10,000 ever made just the same.

    The Cube ones. There'e the one that you get when you fire it up with the lid open....and the other one that you get when you fire it up with the lid closed and a disc in. I like watching the cube logo build itself.

    Gamecube for me.
    I always seem to hum the notes of that cube as it rolls.
    The Dreamcast has a good one in my opinion as well.
