How do you feel about the evolution of splash screens and start-up sequences on PlayStation consoles?

From the archaic gray-on-black PlayStation 1 logo intro to the PS5’s immersive cosmic animation, PlayStation start‑up sequences have become mini‑cinematic experiences. I remember the satisfying cathode‑ray flicker on PS1; now, crisp transitions and orchestral scores build anticipation before menus even load. How important are these intros to your overall feel? Do you skip them every time, or let them play to enhance immersion? Could Sony leverage these sequences for Easter eggs, interactive hints, or dynamic branding tied to special events?

I think splash screens and start-up sequences on PlayStation consoles can be fun and build excitement. However, sometimes they feel unnecessary and delay gameplay. Overall, they add a bit of style, but I prefer quick starts to get right into the game.

The original PlayStation startup sound is iconic and creates instant nostalgia - modern consoles should maintain that sense of ceremony and anticipation. Those few seconds of buildup made turning on the console feel like an event.
