I have a Wacom Bamboo Fun and love it to death.
I wish I'd waited to save money for a tablet with a screen. Something about not seeing my hand drawing the image itself really screws me up for some reason.
i don't mind it at all. when I was shopping for a tablet I thought I'd need a screen, but I got one without a screen and I really don't ever regret it.
I mainly got my tablet because I was tired of feeling like I couldn't make what I wanted to because I didn't have the proper tools. I don't know what kind of tablet you could get that would cost the same amount as any video game, though. Mine was 200 bucks :u
