Source-linked facts

20GB launch model — black is a documented launch of the PlayStation 3 hardware family.

Research status: Structured source record

Release context

The documented release is 2006 (the exact day and month are not documented) for Japan / North America on PlayStation 3. Date precision is preserved exactly: the archive does not invent a day when the source records only a month or year.

Regional differences

This record is scoped to Japan / North America. The linked structured source does not document a separate regional title or package difference, so PLAYBACK does not infer one.

Physical packaging

The physical format is documented as Launch. The current structured source does not enumerate every insert, manual, sleeve, or bonus item, so no unverified contents are claimed.

Editions and revisions

This record represents a launch within the PlayStation 3 family, not a separate console generation.
