Forums - Sony - PS5 start-up sound revealed

Should be this

PS1, the Japanese Saturn, and Dreamcast had the best boot ups ever.

SEGA CD is up there as is OG Xbox.



Bite my shiny metal cockpit!

Lol of course there is versus videos. I have to say they’re both pretty pleasant

That's definitely better than the official PS5 one, which is kind of boring.

I definitely prefer both the Xbox Series start-up sound and animation, something about the Xbox start-up sound gives me THX vibes:

That concept sound and boot up screen is a lot better.

Stock boot up sound ain't great. Reminds me of Intel kind of.

PS1   - ! - We must build a console that can alert our enemies.

PS2  - @- We must build a console that offers online living room gaming.

PS3   - #- We must build a console that’s powerful, social, costs and does everything.

PS4   - $- We must build a console that’s affordable, charges for services, and pumps out exclusives.

PRO  -%-We must build a console that's VR ready, checkerboard upscales, and sells but a fraction of the money printer.

PS5   - ^ -We must build a console that’s a generational cross product, with RT lighting, and price hiking.

PRO  -&- We must build a console that Super Res upscales and continues the cost increases.

Sounds a lot better in context with the full length build up music and FX. Nice.

PS5 sounds like the soft chimes from Intel, Xbox is like a soft PS1 xP

Who even turns off their console. My switch just goes to sleep. I rarely turn it off



Just a guy who doesn't want to be bored. Also

How surprising that you don’t find the XBox boot screen boring in contrast to the PS5’s.
