A note about the manifest and SKU numbers
It is possible that the manifest number isn't 3-digit but is instead two boolean values followed by the manifest number apended to it. The same goes for the SKU number. The appending behavior is already witnessed going from 0 to 2 and if this theory is correct, manifest 10 will make the version string 7 characters long instead of 6. Similarly, the position of the 1 in the SKU number most likely represents a boolean value but it is unknown what they represent. It most likely has something to do with patching. There's no way to know if the actual SKU number is appended as it is with manifest number and because it is unlikely they will ever create another SKU, it is impossible to know how it works, specifically. I will update the page as information becomes certain. --FordGT90Concept 00:48, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
