PS2 startup still feels surreal even today. My favorite overall.
The Nintendo Wii is an odd one, but the transition from the health screen into channels felt very futuristic. If the channels are included then it's my favorite for Nintendo. Nintendo DS would probably be my favorite for handhelds.
The first xbox 360 startup was probably my favorite for the xbox brand.
I don't enjoy the startups on current gen consoles (or even the most previous gen) very much. Modern consoles go right from startup into a cluttered menu that often includes a store, news, or live social features which for me breaks the immersion we got with old school consoles.
