A very underrated console, this had some of my favorite games of the previous generation... At least pick up Smash Bros!
I freely admit, it didn't have nearly the library of games that the PS2 had, but that doesn't mean it didn't have some great ones!
At the current Gamestop price tag of 20USD, you really don't have much room to bitch.

At $100, way to expensive. I bought mine used for $20. Honestly, thats all I think its worth now. Not too many 3rd party games and games are still more expensive then the system. If you want to play GC games and get get your hands on a used $20 one, just get the Wii. At 150 more, your getting so many more features even though imo, the Wii is also overpriced.
