Datecode[edit | edit source]

Used in Euro regions

2 digits: number=year, letter=quarter

The number matches with the last number of the year, PS3 production started in 2006 with datecode 6A (in January 2016 thus ends the "loop" of datecodes and Sony needs to decide if it re-uses 6A again, use another datecode notation, or stop the PS3 production - time will tell).

e.g.: |7D| means 2007, 4th quarter

Most commonly asked for when wanting to know if a console can be downgraded to 3.55.
