Editing SKU Models

''To Do''

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

'''Everything in this article is work-in-progress and non-exhaustive!'''
== 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

== Suffixes (Japan/Asia) ==
Suffixes in Japan/Asia seem to work a bit differently than in other regions

* Color suffixes for color variations and some special editions '''not''' denoted on the console itself
** 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)
*** PW (Pearl White SCPH-50000 Summer 2004 limited edition)
** This is NOT (always) denoted on the console model sticker itself, but on the original packaging/box

* Bundle and special edition suffixes denoted on the console itself
** 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. :
*** TB (Toys Blue SCPH-39000, only sold at Toys R Us stores)
*** GT (on the Gran Turismo 4 Prologue bundle in Japan and Asia)
*** GU (the limited Gundam bundle in Japan)
*** MB/NH (the Midnight Blue SCPH-50000MB/NH, bundled with Network Adaptor, HDD and BB Navigator software)
** In other instances, Sony instead decided to give bundles their own model number variant
