The only PS2 model released on the Chinese market, available from December 20th, 2003, for a price of RMB 1988. It's retail variant is always a satin silver fat H- (and/or I-) chassis console. It has it's own dedicated game region ("NTSC-C") rather than the NTSC-J region that is used on the other Asian PS2 consoles (Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan). The DVD region code is 6, which is also a dedicated China-only DVD region code. As another specialty, it is the only retail PS2 console to have a third ROM(-section) other than BOOT and DVD, which contains a Chinese character set.
Another oddity: DTL-H50009 is the only PS2 found that shares ROMVER version with a PSX. This console has 1.80 ROMVER like the PSX 1st gen.
Only very few games were released in China, as the PS2's release for the Chinese market happened during a period where game consoles were heavily regulated and for the most part actually banned.

- SCPH-50009 (Satin Silver)
- DTL-H50009 (Satin Silver)
