First I've heard of this, glad Valve does such a good job with warranty coverage.

I've given up concerning myself with what others think and went with a coral (pink) phone this go-around. While this probably won't pertain to your bro, it nicely sidesteps the issue.

Yep, he’s an architect and the choice of nice and transparent cover was purely cosmetic. I don’t think he really cares what other people think, but going from nice to yellowed is another matter.

I have a similar attitude towards colors as you do: if there’s one that costs less, I’m going for it. Once found a gimbal that somehow was half the price in the pink variant: I now have a conversation starter that when folded, thanks to the gentle pink hue and the overall shape, looks like a dildo. The really, really amusing thing in all of this is that my computer is fully white. The case was slightly less expensive in white. The psu was on offer in the white variant. Towards the end of the gpu shortage one of the few available, the least expensive one, was white… it sits under the desk, with the glass panel towards the wall. XD

White GPUs are typically 150% of the price of regular ones. I thought that was a law or something.

True! But this was near the end of the gpu shortage, no price made sense. Hell, there was a 3060 sold and fulfilled by Amazon that was priced over 4K euro! They didn’t care when I reported the price error. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
