How to Track a PS3 Serial Number

The Sony PS3's serial number is located on the back of the PS3 system. It can also be located directly on the retail box of the PS3. When sending the PS3 out for repair, the PS3's serial number is your means of tracking the PS3 throughout its repair progress. Sony's official support center has a section that allows you to enter in your PS3 serial number and it will tell you exactly where your PS3 is in the service process.
