Fun fact: On the lower right corner there is the Xbox logo emitting waves to an imaginary surface below. The pattern is a watermark for the serial number of the device to be identified in case of leaked footage. Only during development of Xbox.

And what does the pattern on this site decode to? Maybe some nifty easter egg?
It can probably be decoded with some Dungeons and Dragons-level incantation of ffmpeg.
You don’t need to do anything complicated. Take a couple screenshots and crop to a slice where the rings are expanding horizontally. There is your barcode.
It just looks like a bar code that is probably easily extracted with some machine vision.
