As documented more in detail on my My computer history post, here's some visual images to go along with that.
4 pcs of Playstation 2 (PS2) FAT

4 pcs of Playstation 1
1 pcs of Playstation 3 FAT
1 pcs of Playstation 3 SUPER-SLIM
The earliest in my collection are from 1995, then followed by items from 2012 to 2015. I have documented below the production date, model number, internal firmware versions along with their serial numbers. All models are naturally PAL, since I'm in Europe, Norway.
Some of the information came from ChatGPT 5.0, so we must take it with a grain of salt.
All of the machines work great, only very minor repairs have been done on a few. Futher some of these are still beeing used as active game consoles and/or watching YouTube on them :-)
Throughout the years I even bought some second-hand accessories to these machines on EBAY, or simply picked with me every cable, box, game or controllers when I saw them at flee markets and/or thrift stores locally.
