Best Game Console CD Player Mode Visualizations

[OmegaMaximum]

Well, which do you guys think is the best?

Personally for me it's a dead tie between the Sega Saturn and the Atari Jaguar CD. Flying through space on the Saturn is pretty cool, and the VLM on the Jaguar CD is just awesome, but I can't decide which I like better.

So what's your favorite?

I rather like the PS3's earth view.

I just checked that out, seems pretty cool, but I'm still partial to the Saturn and the Jaguar CD.

But which one is the best one to use, technically? Which one will last the longest while using it as both a CD-player and a game player?

Clearly not the Jaguar CD, mines been acting up lately, they're kinda finicky. Other then that I don't know, I mean my Saturn's 16 years old and works fine. I haven't heard a ton of negative talk about PS3 hardware, but as of now it doesn't have the track record that the Saturn does.

I've heard some pretty cool things about the Jaguar CD, since it has that VLM, which, as I understand it, is separate hardware, entirely.

Personally, I think there is just an inherent "coolness" factor in playing a CD on the oldest game hardware possible; I play some CDs on my PC Engine CD.

Winner!

Especially on an HD set.

My Saturn has had my favourite visualization for years. I absolutely love it. It was not beat until the PS3's HD Earth view. Apparently I'm not alone in thinking that.

The Saturn functioned as my main CD player in university. Hooked up to a decent stereo system, along with its visuals, got a lot of "that's awesome, what is it" comments from friends/fellow partiers. They were all used to Winamp's visualizations.

That was before the whole Napster lawsuit thing. Does anyone remember Audiogalaxy (as an MP3 filesharing site)?

I remember audiogalaxy! Man, those were crazy times.
