The following chart describes the basic differences between various PS3 model numbers.
The chart is broken up into two parts. The first part lists the prefix, while the second part lists the suffix. Combining prefix and suffix allows you to arrive at an actual PS3 model number. Note that although the harddrive capacity and memory card readers are missing in some models, you can upgrade or add the capability later. Unimportant cosmetic variations (like color, chrome trim and exact location of ports) are not included. Note that for Other. OS, it was disabled in firmware 3.
In the chart below, combining the yellow parts produces an actual PS3 model number. Fat Model(Prefix)Region(Suffix)Harddrive. HDMICECOther. OSPS2 Mode. SA- CDWi. Fi. 80.

For the PS3 Slim, an additional letter (appendix) is added to the end of the model number to designate harddrive size. From the chart above you can see that CECHJ, CECHM, and CECHQ were only released to a few regions. They are extremely rare, so for console collectors they may be considered to be more valuable. The PS3 Slim models uses PSP model naming nomenclature, 1. PS3 (Slim) is CECH- 2. A first generation Japanese 6. GB PS3 would thus be.
CECHA0. 0, while the one in North America would be designated CECHA0. A second generation 1. GB Japanese PS3 Slim would be designated CECH- 2. A, while the 1. 20.

GB models because starting with the PS3 Slim, the harddrive size is designated by an appended letter after the region code (in this case A=1.
GB, and B=2. 50. GB). Note that although globally some PS3 share the same model prefixes, they are actually different because of their special support for their country and SDTV region (NTSC or PAL), which the suffix code below delineates.

The above PS3 Model chart also displays the compatibility of PS3 with the various video and games formats. PS3 Game compatibility. PS3 games (on Blu- ray discs) are not region locked, but they are released and labelled with numerical regions codes (which seems to match DVD region codes). Any PS3 game from any region will play in any PS3. However, there is the special situation when you try to play back the game in Standard Definition.
If the PS3 game only has Standard Definition and Enhanced Definition for either PAL (5. NTSC (4. 80i and 4. PS3 must have the.
Standard Definition and Enhanced Definition format support, or you won't be able to play it. This is not. a problem if you play the game in High Definition (7. Blu- ray game region) games if the publisher decides to do so.
All PS3 games have a serial number containing a four character prefix. The following are the common prefix for PS3 games: Prefix. Description. BCASFirst Party, Asia. BCJSFirst Party, Japan. BLASThird Party, Asia. BLJMThird Party, Japan.
BLJSThird Party, Japan. BCUSFirst Party, USBLUSThird Party, USBCESFirst Party, Europe.
BLESThird Party, Europe. The first letter indicates the storage format. Normally, it is B for Blu- ray disc format. Other formats may include S = DVD. The second letter indicates if the game is first party (C = Sony), or licensed from third party (L = others). The third letter indicates: A=Asia, J=Japan, U=United States, or E=Europe. The last letter indicates the type: D = Demo, S = Game, M = ?
Note that for some third party games, Sony may take it and repackage with appropriate material for other territories, thus the game become first party as well. PS2 Game compatibility. For PS2 mode compatibility, PS3 models having the Graphics Synthesizer (GS) chip is required, and models having an extra Emotion Engine (EE) chip have even better compatibility with PS2 games. PS3 models having the extra EE chip uses PS2 hardware emulation, while those without uses PS2 software emulation. Later PS3 models that don't even have the Graphics Synthesizer chip meant no PS2 compatibility at all (hardware or software).
PS2 games are divided into four main regions (NTSC- J, NTSC- U/C, NTSC- C, PAL) and two formats (NTSC or PAL) locked. Note that the PS2 game discs can be single or double layer, although there are very few dual- layer PS2 games (like Metal Gear Solid 2 Substance). The PS3 supports both. PS1 Game compatibility. All PS3 models have PS1 compatibility via software emulation. PS1 games (disc- based) are divided into three main region (NTSC- J, NTSC- US, PAL) and two formats (NTSC or PAL) locked. Most early PS (PSone) games.
Metal Gear Solid Integral) have special marks that require special CD lens to read. The PS3 supports. Note that PS games. Play. Station Network store are not region nor format locked as long as you are able to pay (if not free) and. Movie compatibility. For Blu- ray video, the discs are divided into three (A, B, or C) main regions which must match the region of your PS3 for playback.
The initial Blu- ray discs that were released supported region codes, but were not enforced. PS3 can play Blu- ray discs from any region (this might change in the future). For DVD playback, the discs are divided into six (from 1 to 6; note 0, 7, and 8 are special cases) main regions and two formats (NTSC or PAL). Not only must your PS3 match the region, it must also support the format as well. Compatibility Notes.
