I personally bought it for several reasons - first one is that I take Colorware as number one besides other companies involved into custom made business. Aren't they who are signed under majority (if not every) custom made consoles intended for various competitions, prizes etc.? From this point of view I take them as professionals even though maybe every single painter know how to use grey spray.
Second reason was that I was about to buy PS4 Pro for myself and did not want just standard black color. I hoped for some limited edition made by Sony, if no sooner then at the latest at launch of Horizon Zero Dawn. Unfortunatelly it did not happen.
Last but not least, the Retro style is pretty nice and the signs of it are as close as possible to the original Playstation. This together with fact the first 25 pieces were individually numbered made me to buy it even though it would be very difficult for me to solve any warranty issues, which I hope doesn't happen.

Yep, Colorware does pretty much every custom console and controller that are given away as prizes or are made in super limited batches as promo stuff. They do damn good work.
