Note that the PS3 model number prefix from above needs a two digit number appended at the end to designate a region.
Therefore, append a two digit Code (suffix) from below to arrive at the actual PS3 model number. For example, a Japanese
60GB PS3 would be designated CECHA00, while the one in North America would be designated CECHA01.
Some model prefixes that look similar are actually different in their country or SDTV region support (NTSC or PAL), which the
suffix code below delineates.

Special PS3 Models
The PS3 also comes in three different flavors for developers and retailers.
Sometimes special promotions are created by Sony that introduce or bundle new color, games, or peripherals with a PS3. These
promotional PS3 often have additional suffixes added to the model numbers. For example: CECHE01 MG.
Although extra games or peripherals are included, the basic PS3 machine follows the same specs as the model prefix. So in this
case, the example PS3 above would have the same specs as a CECHE PS3. The following is a chart listing the special models.
Code (Suffix) Description
CW Ceramic White PS3
MG Metal Gear Solid 4 Game included
SS Satin Silver PS3
Sometimes promotional PS3 are released. Included in these special one-time offers are the Metal Gear Solid PS3 bundles
released in Japan. CEJH-10001, CEJH-10002, and CEJH-10003.
