I always loved the startup sequence of the original Xbox with the reactor firing up, it was so badass

PS2 instantly comes to mind. It's the startup sound that's so iconic, it wins on that alone.



I think I'll go with PS2, although Gamecube seems pretty cool too.



PS1, but that's just nostalgia.

all 3 of them are iconic from my days of smash, the Samurai one being that time you got 3 mates around to all hold your Z buttons before a good session of smash is going down.

I never knew this.  Thanks

I also thought I was going to be alone when I thought gamecube after reading the thread title.  Boy was I wrong.



Close second for those awesome sound effects



The NES.



Atari 2600, NES, SNES, and Genesis.  Just put in the cartridge and start playing.  The best startup sequence is not to have one at all. 

The whole startup sequence thing started when disks came around.  They have slower load times, so they needed to give us an entertaining startup sequence, so that we didn't realize that we were actually waiting through boring load times.



Gamecube followed by PS1
