They are the ones at fault, and I’m going to get my PS3 from them.” I will be calling Sony to figure out what’s up with these serial numbers, but I’m not going to let Best Buy get away with this. In the end, Best Buy gets their 400 dollars, and doesn’t have to back up the product they sell, and the customer is stuck with the problem. Once that’s done, the customer can’t prove anything, and now has to go to Sony in order to get their problem solved.

So, what is Best Buy to do with all these broken PS3’s with different serial numbers than the boxes? Well, resell the PS3 to the customer, in order to make back their 400 dollars. Problem is, Sony won’t reimburse for PS3’s with different serial numbers then the box. Normally Best Buy would just send these PS3’s back to Sony and get reimbursed. This means that Best Buy had many PS3’s that were broken, and had different serial numbers than the boxes they were in (Which, is only their fault because they didn’t check the serials on return).
See, before, people were getting away with trading in their, out of warranty, broken PS3’s. I’m pretty sure I’ve figured out what they are trying to do. This, of course, is total crap because I bought this EXACT PS3 the night before. They accuse me of trying to trade back a different PS3 than the one I bought (I guess there are idiots that do that), in order to get out of paying to have it replaced. So, I take in my broken PS3 to Best Buy today, to replace it of course, and they refused to because the serial number on the console is different from that of the box. Pressing X would cause it to say “Restoring…” then after a few seconds it would restart, and would come up to the same exact thing, and repeat. On boot up it would say “Need to restore hard drive, press X to continue”. When I got it home I found out it was broken. “Bought a PS3 from my local Best Buy yesterday.

#PS3 SERIAL NUMBER MEANING PSP#
The letter on the side of the PSP box (usually under model number) can determine what firmware the PSP shipped with. Such as the gameboot logo and help screen in firmware 2.00, IDStorage USB, and instruction manuals. This is consistent with everything else in the product line being changed. For TA-081+ this was changed to " PSP(TM) PlayStation(R) Portable". The top corner of the battery sticker just says " PSP" for TA-079 units. For example PSP-2001 Star Wars are always HU7xxxxxx. Most limited edition units (Star Wars, God of War, Madden 09, etc) have a specific range that deviates from the standard Piano Black units. It appears to be incremental with most models having a specific range, however some exceptions do apply. The 7 numbers are the actual serial number of the unit. Serial numbers consist of two letters followed by 7 numbers: the first letter is the first letter of the place of manufacture (S=SKZ KISARAZU, F=FOXCONN, etc) and the next letter is the region it was manufactured for (J=Japan, U=US/Canada, etc). On the PSP Go it is on the back of the screen. Also this information doesn't seem to be present on the E1000 Street model.
North America only has them on Fat models up to 6C or so. Not all regions have datecodes-Japan doesn't have them for any model. For example 5A would mean first quarter of 2005, 9D would mean fourth quarter of 2009, 0A would mean first quarter of 2010, 1D would mean fourth quarter of 2011. The datecode consists of one number followed by one letter: the number is the last digit the year it was manufactured and the letter is the quarter of the year. It all depends on what region/model it is. Other times it is impossible to tell without a program or taking it apart. If not additional information which can usually be found on the battery sticker-such as serial/part numbers and FCCID is enough. In some cases the datecode is enough to know the exact motherboard/shipped firmware. For example if you are planning to get a specific motherboard and buy online where the seller provides no hardware info and you have to defer from a couple pictures. They can be useful in determining information about the unit without taking it apart or running 3rd party software. Datecodes are found on the sticker behind the battery on the PSP.
