Not that it's really a problem or affects usability at all, but I'm curious if this happened to anyone else.

Look at these side by side shots I took of my two flash carts:

I cannot recall if the Gateway started out as white as the MT-Card but I'm inclined to think it did. Is it just made of crappier plastic? Just seemed odd to me when I had the two next to each other.

(And my Gateway never came with a back sticker either, nor did the MT. Which is probably better anyway, as you can see from the pic it already has a hard enough time fitting in the slot with just one sticker on it)

Why do Nintendo's plastics eventually yellow anyways? My NES isn't yellowing yet, but I've seen plenty of beige-box computers do it too... And I don't know WHY it does it.

Mine started out with a yellowish tint and it was brand new. It feels better than MT card plastic anyway

And what the hell did you do with your GW sticker??

    I've been to his chicken restaurant he started in his 2nd movie, Holy Chicken, was pretty good. It is only 15-20 miles from me in Ohio. It only lasted 1 yr or so then closed tho.

    There are very few people I just have just an immense dislike of and he's one of those very few people, the only other example is Gene Simmons. My musician uncle on my mother's side of the family actually met Gene once during some event and said he was the most unpleasant person to be around.
