I'm actually thinking of buying a GameCube now (Re:MGS:TS)

Animal crossing is cool, but some of the games on gamecube have limited capabailities lengthwise. Also you cant have the option of DVDs or music. Which ups the cost for most things. So basically your paying more if you want to get the same features of an Xbox or PS2. So there is one big dillema due to the Gamecube. It still is a good system tho.
