Not much reason to replace my current one, but many reasons to pick up OG console covers now if they're going to be phased out in November.

They literally just announced three more cover colors, (got the announcement email yesterday), I doubt they’ll phase them out that quickly. Even if they decide to go fast, I’d think they at least be smart enough to wait until after the holidays.

Saw that but these won't work on the new model so I doubt they make more. Unless of course they're for the revision but I don't know how that'd work with the new design.

I'm flashing back to Xbox 360 faceplates.

Would you normally replace a perfectly functional console with a smaller but otherwise identical machine? Do what you want with your own cash but that's a very decadent purchase!

Exactly- though I did trade up my OG PS2 for a slim back in the day. The OG had served its time (~5 years) and was ready to go.
