Your favourite console startup sounds?

Postby Ginga on Tue Mar 29, 2011 9:32 am

(Blatantly stolen this from Kotaku.)
Some console startup screens

We've all had our fair share of consoles, so which would be your favourite startup screen sound? You know when you first turn a console on... The Dreamcasts raindrop like thing, the PS1's futuristic sounding ditty, the 360's woosh or the Saturns broken glass effect, to name a few.

I think the one I heard the most was deffinitely the Playstation 2 one as my old PS2 was broke so you had to keep turning it on and off 50 times until the disc worked.

I'd say the one I remember as being the best was the Mega Drives' "SAYGAAAA!" one. I love it everytime I hear it.
EDIT: This one! This was the best! YouTube as always has everything.

The 360 changes their startup sound every ten minutes.
If in doubt, put the kettle on.

I like the little ping noise the 360 Slim makes.

We need to learn when to say "enough", rather than gluttonously devouring more and more of the same thing through sheer force of habit.

I remember the PS1's meant business, you knew something cool was gonna happen after hearing that.

I like my halo 360s power shield noise.

In game startup has to go to EA - "IT'S IN THE GAME!" Especially when D-mob from def jam said it in fight for new york.

ditto - Halo xbox is far more fun than it should be as a toy - without even getting into playing a game on it.

Got a soft spot for the PlayStation one.

That or the Gamecube one where you held down the buttons and got the silly squeaky noises.

Playstation one start-up has a special wee place in my heart.
