How do I read my Playstation 2 serial number?

[DeputyMoniker]

My wife got me a US PS2 during the christmas launch shortage. She paid over $500 w/shipping, Ridge Racer V, a memory card and MAYBE another game or two but RRV is the only one I cared about.
Since I got it at launch, Im wondering what number mine was to roll off the line. Anybody know how to read them?

At least it'll give you a roundabout idea as to WHEN it was made...but good luck on reading the serial more in-depth.

The European Automobile coloured ones have unique serial numbers.

Ie, the red one would read: R (For red I assume) 200xxxx (Where xxxx is the production number I would assume, as these models are limited to only 2000)

hmm. My serial number starts with a PT. It doesnt mention that.

Look on the lower left of the back label. You're looking at the barcode number, which isn't the 'true' serial number.
