The below is a table of known serial number letter prefixes.
+
The letter prefixes are a letter specifying the device, followed by one a letter specifying the region in which it was sold.  Sometimes, a third letter is present; a current guess is that this letter distinguishes among factories for a given sales region.  Note that several different sales regions' console may be considered to be the same region for region-locking purposes, such as Europe and Australia.
