Poll: Best System Startup Noise

The GameCube startup is definitely my favorite, as is its sound(s). The whole context and interpretations of the animation and logo just seem more representative of gaming than the others. There's a more centric, welcoming feeling about it, a tinge of old-school in the sound, an application of 3D and...advancement (or refinement?) in the logo itself (but much better than the 3D N64 and PS logos), and it even integrates a giant "G" and "C".

PS2's is nice and slick, but I hate that ambiguous "outer space" thing that first pops up (complete with floating GameCubes o_O).

The DC's low key startup grew on me; at first I was hoping for something flashier. But it's my favourite on that list.

You obviously don't frequent GameFaqs or IGN boards.

Why the hell would you ever go there, let alone frequent them?

I can't get the Neo-Geo's 8-note jingle out of my head. Seriously. It's been stuck in my head for a couple years now. I'll be at work, trying to focus, and I'll hear "DOO-DOO-DO-DOOOO-DING-DO-DO-DOOOO". *screams*

My subwoofer has a sexual relationship with the DC boot. I'll vote for that one.

Yeah, I was gonna say the NGPC. I love that little song.

Sega CD is best of all, but I like PS2's best of this generation. Xbox starts annoyingly, ends somewhat nicely but combines to just be an awful din to endure before you play. DC was too high-pitched. GC is ok, a bit if toyish.

Ugh, I cannot read a thread without your whiney, lame, negative ass pissing all over it. Please, I am begging you, shut the fuck UP.

Anyways, I pick ps2. Dreamcast next. Then Gamecube. Then xbox.

How true. The PS2's noise, "Voooun" or whatever, is pretty slick. I'm surprised everyone hates it so, I like it. The Dreamcasts startup is great, not just because you can skip it, just the sound is very soft and original. The Gamecube noise got old for me and the xbox sounds like a beaten up Ford Shadow. Pass.

I listened to the alternate GC one while booting DoR up, that is damned creepy, and awesome.
