Console manufacture month date!

So, I have this PS1, scph-1001 (NTSC) and on the back it says: February 1997.
so North American ps1's alllll had dates on the back, why didn't the EU ones have a date on the back? It's kind of unfair! I really want to know when all my eu ones were made. :c

 

If it was made in 1997 it would be either a scph-7001 or scph-9001. I don't know why you would think they allll had dates when you've found one with a date on and it's wrong.

 

Don't forget there was the scph-7501. I forget when I got my PS1, but it was a 7501.

Checking my systems:
7001 - July 1998
7501 - February 1999 (My original console)
1001 - September 1996

So his is either a 7001 or maybe 500x series if it really was made in that year/month.

 

I have 3 SCPH 1001 and I bought them at retail brand new; they label on them are; SEP 1995, July 1995, March 1997 so I think some SCPH 1001 still manufactured in 1997

 

Yeah, tichua is right... My one is NOT a 7001 or 9001, it is actually a 1001. Nothing more, nothing less.

But it's stupid that my 9002's have no Date on them

 

Nobody know why every single NTSC PS1 has a date while every PAL unit has not? :/ i think it's really weird.

 

My NTSC J units don't have a date code either, the date codes are an American thing, my guess is that it was to satisfy some legal requirements likely in the event of a CPSC recall

 

Aaah, I see! Alright, that means it's unique to the USA units which is kind of cool but should have been on EU ones too.

 

My NTSC U.S.A units SCPH 1001 has a date august 1995
my blue U.S.A ps1 model DTL-H1101 Debug Kit has a date March 1998

 

I'm not sure if mine's weird or not, but my PSone (the small one) has a "Date Code" (1B, if it means anything) instead of an actual date like my PSfat has (July 1997, also if anyone cares).

Was that a thing with the tiny PSones?

 

I don't know, no specialist in anything related to this thing called "PSone".

 

My SCPH-1001 says "April 1997". I'm not sure about the others. I'm guessing the launch models continued to be manufactured even after the revisions were released.

 

Yeah it seems like that! My SCPH-1001 says February 1997. so it seems they were made up to atleast 1998!
