What happens when you put a Box game in a PS2?

Somebody try this for me. I was told something "very funny" would happen.

Sparks will start coming out, the PS2 will turn green and black, and you will get a Windows startup screen with the I.E. logo underneath?

You get a little animated sequence, then the XBox logo, then a screen that says "This is an XBox Game disc, Please inert it into an XBox to play". It says that in a few different languages.

Not really. I guess it's sort of funny that it actually does something, especially giving you the XBox logo on a PS2.

Too bad it isn't something really funny like putting the Dreamcast game Seaman into a regular CD player. When you do that there is a recording that is really sarcastic and explains it's a DC game and is only playable on a DC - then it makes fun of you and says something about asking if you try to play games on your other appliances like a toaster.

It's not just when an Xbox game is put into the PS2 - it happens when you put an Xbox game in any DVD player...

I remember when you would put Sega Saturn games into a CD player they used to play a little musical intro and a voice would say "Please use this disc with the Sega Saturn game console".

"As you know, this is a 'black-disc' for use with the Playstation.
It contains computer data, and should not be played (on a CD player)."

anyone guess what thats from? it then plays a real bonus track on a game if you put it in a real CD player.

I think i remember Shenmue II on the Dreamcast having a different message on each of the 4 discs.

I remember the really fun days when Sega CD games would play the soundtrack of some of the games if you put it in a regular CD player. Ecco the Dolphin and Lunar were among those that worked.
