I thought about it again, and I think you should get a Wii rather than a Gamecube. Wii undoubtedly cost more (used Wii is generally $100 wherever I find it, GC is $30 used), but the Wii can play all GameCube games, has access to a lot of Virtual Console games, and also has the Wii library to aid it. If you can save up a little bit more, I would shoot for a Wii.
