PlayStation 2 models

Several models of the PlayStation 2 (PS2) video game console were produced from 2000 to 2013. Some PS2 revisions only change in their internal construction or implement cost-saving measures while others feature substantial external changes. Each region receives a different model number; for example, slimline models produced from 2008 to 2013 were released in North America as SCPH-90001, in Australia as SCPH-90002, and in Hong Kong as SCPH-90006. The final digit is a region code with no bearing on the hardware; many games and DVDs are restricted to certain regions, and the system software displays in different languages. A total of 5 different models of the PS2 were produced during its lifespan. The PS2 is primarily differentiated between models with the original "fat" case design introduced in mid-to-late 2000 and the later "slimline" models introduced at the end of 2004. In 2010, a television incorporating a PS2 was introduced.
