    Hey, I've just noticed this recently. I have 3 controllers, 2 black 1 white. On one controller which I've never used I noticed that the thumbsticks have turned a greenish hue compared to the other ones. Same thing happened to the foam part of my xbox headset on the ear and microphone. They've gone completely yellow. I've never worn it once though.

    I wonder if its the same thing that happens to some old SNES consoles http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2007/01/snes_plastic_2_large.jpg

    I think its been caused by UV light, but cant be certain. Anyone else had this problem?

    That's not a problem :confused:

    Simple daylight bleaching the said parts my advice is to buy a new console if it's that old it could do with a refresh:pac:

    You never got back to me re headset spix? It's rude to ignore calls texts pms etc!!!!! After you contacted me through adverts trying to buy it!!!

    Bad form:mad:
