I've no idea what the Wii does when you start it up, but between 360 and PS3 I'd have to go with the classy strings of the PS3 start-up over the 360...noise thing..., although I prefer the 360 as a console of course. I just YouTubed the PS2 boot, that's a pretty cool futuristic sound.

The 360 has a better startup screen, but I like the sound of the Ps3 better lol. The first xbox had a nice one as well, and the gamecube too.

I 100% agree and second this notion. Bing! For the win. I am quite fond of the GBA and Gamecube's start up as well.

Dreamcast easily. It seemed so futuristic and dreamy.

I used to be scared of the PS1 start up. but i think that was mainly because i would try and play RE2 late at night so whenever i hear the ps1 start up sound i always remember RE2

I don't like it anymore, since I have bad memories of sitting there listening to it, praying that the game I was trying to play would work.

Personally I think all start-ups are annoying so if there is one that is short with the least amount of stuff happening then I'll pick that one and also as soundless as possible. PS3 seems to be the winner in that this gen but I don't have a Wii, the 360 is ok but the huge logo us freaking ugly and looks stupid aka no style.

I'd have to say the N64 sound, cause after I had it for a few years you'd get to hear me blow on the cartridge and then pound (not literally but did do it kind-of hard) that beast into the console. Turned all the ladies on when they got to see me work that cartiridge ;).

Oh so you prefer the 360 " of course " do you, well then let me just say I prefer the sound of every 360 going RROD and the sight of the beautiful flashing red lights. PS3 has the best start up sound, exclusive games, hardware reliability, online service and hardware muscle. Let us not forget the beautiful sights to be seen in every Best Buy and Wal-Mart, as well as other retailers across the country, all of the hundreds of Blu-Ray movies on store shelves where no HD-DVD can me seen ever again. Oh and i'm sure the profits of such carriers as FED-EX, UPS and the U.S. Mail are a sight to behold too since they've delivered all the RROD 360's back and forth from day one.

Yeah, I just read the comments on that first video. You will get that screen when you insert a xbox game in a DVD player or something like that. You learn something new every day:P

Appearently you get this screen when you insert a non-xbox disc in the xbox.

That explains why I've never seen it.

Gonna try that when I get home :P

EDIT: Seems the way you described it will also work. Guess I'll have to try both later on.
