For my money, it's got to be the Neo Geo Pocket Color. You get a charming animation with an equally charming little song. I turn it on and I can't help but grin. Second would have to be the Sega Dreamcast's with the bouncing dot and the echoing drip sounds. And third would definitely be the Gamecube's.
Least favorite would be the DS. It's kind of a dull tone with minimal animation and then a BIG FAT WARNING on the lower screen. Talk about a kill-joy.
Honorable mention goes to the PS1 start up.
Thoughts?
Best Boot (Start-Up) Screen?
I love the DS start up screen. I think the noise is great and the little animation is charming. Yeah, there's a warning screen, but other games shove them in anyways, this one just does it from the start.
And the tone changes on your birthday.
Also you can move the cube yourself, so it's obviously the best." @Kjellm87 said:

Actually, I just pulled out my NGP and it is pretty good. I would run that a second, but the GCN is still way ahead.
Oh the memories! The largest portion of my gaming life was spent playing the GameCube. PSO, you were so good to me." @A_Cute_Squirtle said:

Blue/Yellow are also acceptable.

Crystal was my game. I so wish that Nintendo had remade Crystal as well, regardless of the fact that I'd be shelling out extra money for essentially the same game. I love it that much.
Note that this isn't EXACTLY on topic, but I feel the need to mention it anyways...
You know the "Microsoft Games" thing? The one where the two greenish, watery lines cross eachother?
That thing is awesome. I wish they'd just use that for Microsoft period. The bootup for Windows 7 looks like crap (as usual).
I can't for the life of me find it on youtube. Bleh.
" @wrathofconn said:Yup, the Gamecube was my first modern home console, so plugging it in and seeing the boot-up for the first time was probably one of the most mind-blowing moments of my life. And imagine my surprise when I found out that YOU CAN INTERRUPT THE BOOT-UP AND CHANGE THE CONSOLE SETTINGS HOLY FUCK.Oh the memories!

I'm suspecting that the 3DS start-screen will be my new favorite, though.
" @extremeradical: I like it, myself. Simple, straightforward, and to the point. It tells you that the computer is booting up, and it's booting up in OS X. The tone is a bit annoying, but that's not a big deal in the grand scheme of things. "It is if you forget to turn the volume down before you start it during, say, an english lecture.
That has happened to me before.
