The following chart describes the basic differences between various PS3 model numbers. The chart is broken up into two parts. The first part lists the prefix, while the second part lists the suffix. Combining prefix and suffix allows you to arrive at an actual PS3 model number. Note that although the harddrive capacity and memory card readers are missing in some models, you can upgrade or add the capability later. Unimportant cosmetic variations (like color, chrome trim and exact location of ports) are not included. Note that for OtherOS, it was disabled in firmware 3.21 and higher. In the chart below, combining the yellow parts produces an actual PS3 model number.
