Was just talking to someone on cam and they showed their snes and noticed it was brown and yellow, just like mine.

Anyone else got an SNES that is discolored after all these years? And why is it SNES's go bad but my nintendo is still grey as ever?

Mine is kinda getting there, traces of yellow but mostly still holding its ground. Maybe it turns yellow due to direct sunlight? mine is kept under a little housing base where my TV sits atop.
