== Productcode ==
The [[Productcode]] (there is no official name from [[Sony]]) defines a internal numeric coding system and can be compared to a part/catalogue number or a ISBN number for a book. With this code, which every [[Game Titles|Game Title]] contains, it is possible to identify every Game whichever released. [[Sony]] used this system already for releasing their [[Game Titles]] on PlayStation, PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3. You can find these codes on several positions, printed in the spine from a Game cover & on the top of the pressed Disc (physical [[Game Titles]]), but also as a part from the [[NP Title ID]] and many other [[IDs + labels]] (digital [[Game Titles]]), for example.

The [[Productcode]] (there is no official name about this numeric coding from [[Sony]]) defines a internal numeric coding system and can be compared to a part/catalogue number or a ISBN number for a book. With this code, which every [[Game Titles|Game]] contains, it is possible to identify every Game whichever released. Sony used already this system for releasing their Disc-based Games on PlayStation, PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3. You can find these codes on several positions for example printed in the spine from a Game cover & on the top of the pressed Disc (seen only on European versions).
While Sony used various codes for different region areas in Japan, North America, Europe, Hong Kong and Asia for their [[Game Titles]] released on PlayStation, PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3, it seems that there were no regional distinctions on [[Game Titles]] released for the [[Console Information|PlayStation 4]] in general, but every [[Game Titles|Game Title]] use another code compared to the same [[Game Titles|Game Title]] released in another region. Also it seems that there were no distinctions on [[Game Titles]] released directly from Sony Computer Entertainment (''First Party'') or from Third party developers (''Licensed'').


=== Situation for the US & European market ===
=== US / Europe ===
<div style="float:right">[[File:CUSA-00190.png|150px|thumb|left|Front Cover from the Launch Title Killzone: Shadow Fall (US). The Spine Productcode is printed at the bottom left side.]]</div>
'''Note:''' [[Game Titles]] released for the [[Console Information|PlayStation 4]] shares the same [[Productcode]] both for the [[Productcode|physical]] and the [[NP Title ID|digital]] versions (released in the PlayStation Store).
While Sony used different codes for different region areas in Japan, North America, Europe, Hong Kong and Asia for their games released on PlayStation, PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3, it seems that there were no regional differences on games released for the PlayStation 4 in general, but every game use another code compared to the same game released in another region. Also it seems that there are no differences from Games released directly from Sony Computer Entertainment (First Party) or from Third party developers (Licensed). And for this time, Games released for the PS4 shares the same code both on the pressed disc game version and for the [[NP Title ID|digital version]] released in the PlayStation Store.


==== Examples ====
{| class="wikitable sortable" style="float:left; margin-right:2em"
* Disc-based Games released for the PlayStation 4 contains a numeric coding system in the format "''CUSA-XXXXX''" (while the "''XXXXX''" contains a 5-digit-code for every released game).
|+ [[Console Information|PlayStation 4]]
 
! [[Game Titles|Game Title]] !! License !! [[Regioning|Region]] !! Productcode !! [[NP Title ID]]
* For the regional differences, every game shares the same "''CUSA-XXXXX''" format, but for example the European Version from the Launch Title "''Killzone: Shadow Fall''" are listed with the "''CUSA-'''00002'''''" code, while the North American version from the same game are listed with the "''CUSA-'''00190'''''" code.

* About the difference between First party released Games or Licensed ones, Games released directly from Sony Computer Entertainment (SCE) for the PlayStation (2) are listed in the "''S'''C'''ES-XXXXX''" format, while directly released Games from Sony for the PlayStation 3 are listed with the "''B'''C'''ES-XXXXX''" code (in this example from Sony Computer Entertainment '''Europe''' (SCEE)). Other Third party Games are listed with "''S'''L'''ES-XXXXX''" (for PlayStation (2)) and with "''B'''L'''ES-XXXXX''" (for PlayStation 3).

* But it seems that all Games released for the PlayStation 4 will use the same "'''''CUSA'''-XXXXX''" format (''Killzone: Shadow Fall, European Version = "'''CUSA'''-00002" & FIFA 14, European Version = "'''CUSA'''-00128"), while the European Version from Killzone 3, released for the PlayStation 3 are listed in the B'''C'''ES-01007 instead of a B'''L'''ES-XXXXX format'').

=== Situation for the Japanese market ===
It seems that Sony use the same old [[Productcode]] for the Japanese market, as similar to the Disc-based Games released for the PlayStation, PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3 (SCEJ = "''BCJM-XXXXX''" / 3rd Party = "''BLJM-XXXXX''").

The following table is a snippet about several Disc-based PlayStation 4 [[Game Titles]], which will be released for the Japanese market nearby the [[Console Information|Console]] itself (22<sup>th</sup> February or later). It is unknown if the PSN-Versions will share the same IDs.

Picture from a European PS4 Promo Disc with the printed Productcode & other Information.

The Productcode (there is no official name from Sony) defines a internal numeric coding system and can be compared to a part/catalogue number or a ISBN number for a book. With this code, which every Game Title contains, it is possible to identify every Game whichever released. Sony used this system already for releasing their Game Titles on PlayStation, PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3. You can find these codes on several positions, printed in the spine from a Game cover & on the top of the pressed Disc (physical Game Titles), but also as a part from the NP Title ID and many other IDs + labels (digital Game Titles), for example.

Layout

unique ASCII of length 9 to identify, used for PS1/PSX, PS2/PStwo, PS3, PSP, PSP2/Vita.

format: XXXXYYYYY (lettercode for XXXX / numbers for YYYYY)

Regional distinctions

Front Cover from the Launch Title Killzone: Shadow Fall (US). The Spine Productcode is printed at the bottom left side.

While Sony used various codes for different region areas in Japan, North America, Europe, Hong Kong and Asia for their Game Titles released on PlayStation, PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3, it seems that there were no regional distinctions on Game Titles released for the PlayStation 4 in general, but every Game Title use another code compared to the same Game Title released in another region. Also it seems that there were no distinctions on Game Titles released directly from Sony Computer Entertainment (First Party) or from Third party developers (Licensed).

US / Europe

Note: Game Titles released for the PlayStation 4 shares the same Productcode both for the physical and the digital versions (released in the PlayStation Store).
