Yeah, I'd say go for it. My friend's brother pisses him off big time so they're getting one, you should probably do it too.

I'm looking to get it. Money doesn't come easily so cheaper, pre-owned games are more my thing. Might get this in January.

Pay off my latest mortgage in Animal Crossing ... and win all 4 Grand Slams in Grand Slam Tennis. That's it.

It's a decent idea, in fact a very good one, but the support from developers and publishers just isn't there. I only got it because I got it with A/C for £2.50 extra. I wouldn't recommend getting it unless you are planning to buy, and play a lot, a game that features it and you know loads of friends who have that game. Otherwise, it's just not worth it.
