Revision as of 06:34, 6 February 2025

This page outlines the standard format that Sony uses to serialize all PlayStation and related discs. In general, the format is four letters followed by five digits, sometimes displayed with a hyphen or space between.
These serials likely originated from industry standard part numbers (規格品番) which are given to media such as CDs and DVDs in Japan as per the Recording Industry Association of Japan's RIS504 standard
