As much as I love the PS1's start up screen, mine has to be the Dreamcast's.

Yep, gotta be the PS1 - that noise gives me goosebumps. I'd never seen the GameCube one before though and that gif amuses me.

Screw console boot-up screens; most of my console gaming was done before those things existed. :colbert:

The PS1 definitely. That thing terrified me, but it has become a comforting sound when I hear it now.

*turn on console*
*small logo*
*title screen*
*you're playing the game*
Now:
*turn on console*
*long winded boot animation*
*advertisements everywhere*
*buy Doritos to unlock manboobs achievement*
*go to play game*
*unskippable company logos with 10 second animations*
*GAME HAS BEEN UPDATED/RESTART GAME*
*download patches*
*start thinking about life*
*cry a lot*
*download patching complete*
*console restart/go through boot sequence/ads/company animations*
*start swearing*
*console has heard your dissent/contacts NSA*
*agents bust down your door*
*you are waterboarded while various agents laugh and read your Star Trek/MLP fanficiton out loud*
*try to explain that Captain Picard would indeed place Twilight Sparkle second in command*
*they laugh harder*
*NSA lets you go because they figure your life is bad enough already*
*get home*
*eighth patch is still downloading*
*take constructive criticism of fanficiton from NSA to heart/begin writing PonyXTribble slashfic
*game finally ready*
*can now play Call of Duty 8: Gunz of the H8riots*
The PS1 but Gamecube comes in at a close second.

I don't remember them in NES or SNES, but I definitely remember Playstation and onward, but I figured that's because it took longer to get the console up and running. I can't say I have fond memories of waiting to be able to get to playing whatever game I was wanting to play. I guess that Playstation sound became iconic though, after hearing it a zilllion and one times.

the best consoles were cartridge-based and didn't need a console startup animation, though.

While cartridge based systems didn't have boot up screens, we got a lot of fun and creative screens before the game would start on the Sega Genesis!
