I'm familiar with these. I personally own a brand new unplayed "Super Red" NTSC U machine, which has a very low number (under 20!). One of the centrepieces of my collection!

There are in fact 2,000 units of each of the five colours - 666 per region (PAL, NTSC U, JAP), with two of each kept back for promotional reasons, or so it is believed.

Each model has a very unique serial number, which ends in the production number of the unit. However, it is unknown whether they are numbered 001-666 for each region, or whether they are numbered 001-2000. I know several PlayStation collectors who own these models, and they don't seem to know how they numbered them. All I know is that mine is one of the first 20, and it's American
