SKU Models

To Do

Sony's SKU-numbering is somewhat inconsistent, which makes giving a simple overview quite challenging.

Suffixes

• R (e.g. SCPH-30004R)
  • Denotes a console that has a version of DVD Player preinstalled which supports the remote control out of the box (no DVD Player update necessary)
  • Only used on SCPH-3000X SKUs, since this is the only SKU/model number where there would be any ambiguity regarding out-of-the-box remote control support
  • This IS also denoted on the console model sticker itself

• Color suffixes for standard (non-limited) color variations (Japan-only)
  • Only in japan, different color variants of the same SKU have different suffixes behind the model number, e.g. :
    • CB (for charcoal black)
    • CW (for ceramic white)
    • SS (for satin silver)
  • This is NOT denoted on the console model sticker itself

• Bundle and special edition suffixes
  • Some PS2 bundles got their own SKU-suffix, including on the console itself, despite the hardware not being any different to the non-bundled variant, e.g. :
    • GT (on the Gran Turismo 4 Prologue bundle in Japan and Asia)
    • GU (the limited Gundam bundle in Japan)
  • This IS denoted on the console model sticker itself
  • In other instances, Sony instead decided to give bundles their own model number variant
