I say you should play Halo, but don't get an Xbox. Find a friend who has it and do some Co-Op.

As for the GameCube, I bought one today and I already love it. Quiet and small so it fits well into my TV space. The only thing I have a problem with, and this relates to MGS:TS as well, is that the controllers do not have pressure sensitive buttons like the PS2 does. This makes it a huge hassle to brandish a weapon because you can no longer lower it by letting off of the button slowly like you can on the PS2. This means I have to unequip the gun to lower it and unequipping it instantly makes the enemy attack me. Bad news until I can nab a silencer.
