Dreamcast is number-1! Dreamcast has all you ever wanted in a console: great graphics, powerful processor, online capabilities, and a huge library of good-quality 1st party games (Sonic the Hedgehog!)! And it only costs $50...How much cheaper can you get?!
I don't have a GameCube yet, so I can't judge on how good it is--plus, I've only played a brief amount of Luigi's Mansion at a Best Buy store...

"Bwa ha ha! Guess who it is, loyal Mario fans...
It is I, King Bowser... ruler of all Koopas, big and small. I have come to take over the Mushroom Kingdom (no, not the place...I mean the WEB SITE!)! Deezer, you will surrender your troops to me, or else you will never see your precious Mario again! Bwa ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"
