The PS2 is region locked with four different regions for games, and more for other features such as DVD and movie playback.

- SCPH-70011 and SCPH-70012 are not separate regions, but rather North American slim consoles with integrated analog modem.
- SCPH-50011 is the only known Mexican exclusive model and they're the only PS2 which can exhibit a DVDPlayer version which is not numeric, instead, it has a weird alphanumeric sequence.
- Although the Latin America region exists, it has been confirmed that Argentina saw officially imported PS2 with North American model numbers (such as SCPH-75001/SCPH-90001).
- The combination of update folder prefix and MagicGate region determines Memory Card update compatibility, while the latter alone influences other signed content i.e. utility discs; of course, unofficial updates can enable multiple/all regions in their KELF/KIRXs...
Region Jumper
Some models of PS2 motherboards (pictured: a SCPH-39003) contain a jumper indicating the region. This is merely to provide a reference for assembly line and service workers - it's not wired to anything else and therefore doesn't influence operation at all.
