I have already upgraded the HDD.
Thing is, I am hoping to get a super slim this Black Friday for the sake of less power consumption. Given my habits of accidentally leaving on game consoles for 24+ hours, I figure it may pay off in the long run.
Also, I am trying to get a consensus if this model's second hand value has the potential of going up in the future. If yes, then I will probably store it away so I stop wearing it down any further. If not, then I would rather sell it (yes, I know that sounds like blasphemy to some) since I would rather use my PS2 slim for, again, power consumption purposes.
All in all, thanks for the advice so far!
