you had enough money to spend £300+ on a console to never use it. but you don't have £50 for a hard drive? why do you even need to upgrade the hard drive if you don't even use it? what's wrong with the stock drive?
how are you surprised it doesn't have interest? anyone who wanted one bought it the same time you did.
i'm willing to bet the longer you wait the less you get for it.
there will be newer models released, etc. also it's not that special all it has is a different paintjob.
That was then, this is now, I mainly bought it due to the ridiculously cheap deal. I hit rock bottom sometime after buying the PS4, by which time I was pre-occupied playing MGS5 on PC among other things. I will admit, I do tend to make bad purchases on occasion, but it's my money and thus my problem. Main reason for a hard drive upgrade is for more storage of course, in anticipation. Considering I don't play or buy too many games on consoles, I'm thinking a 1TB Hybrid or SSD would be best.
There probably are folks still out there who'd want one of these, but probably can't get one right now for whatever reason. Here's some simple economics: if demand outweighs supply, prices go up. No more of these LE PS4s are being made and they are slowly being bought up and used. Later on down the line, if one really wants one of these for whatever reason (usually as a collectors item or something, who'd buy a PS4 for more than a £300 these days?). Look at other consoles with LEs. As overpriced as the 3DS has been, discontinued LE versions of those from 3/4 years back are being sold at a heck of a lot more than their original selling price.
It's kinda like antiques perhaps (I know jack-all about antiques), rarer stuff is more valuable. Considering I bagged a massive bargain on mine, there's much potential for profit if I do ever bother to sell it. I know I've seen them sell for well over £400 just months after release (due to low supply). It is just a different colour, but you'd be surprised at how much colour matters to some people. People hated the Black Ops 3 LE PS4 console.
