    Good to hear! Have you tried the ink game yet? It is a great way to get comfortable with the stylus, but I have to warn you that it can be addicting.

    Post Intuos on sale.

    Best Buy has reduced prices on Intuos tablets.

    I picked one up this afternoon - the 6x11 model. $250 including tax. Down from a list price of $370. Score!

    No. No, that's not wrong at all. I think I'm falling in lust.

    Post I ordered one....

    ...but not that one...lol.

    I did order the cheapest there is. The Bamboo. Just the Bamboo. Not the one, not the fun. And the smallest one. (A6)

    If I find that I will use it as much as I think, then I will invest in the Intuos A4 model. I know the one I ordered is very small, but I beleive I will use it mainly for small graphics to use as stamps or textures. Basically I just wanted to test how well the pressure sensitive option applies to my needs. A few more days...can't wait.

    I've been lurking quite a lot recently since I don't have time to map right now, and I'm starting to get really tempted to buy a tablet. The problem is that I don't have much money to spend and that they are pretty expensive.

    Within my price range, I found two tablets that looked good.
    Wacom Bamboo One
    Genius G-Pen F610

    The Wacom is cheaper and from a reputated brand, but the Genius is almost twice the size. What do you advise I get? If you have other suggestions, my budget is about 70€ maximum (around 70$ the way things are taxed here).
    I use Vista 64 bit and XP, on a 22" screen. I want it for Photoshop and drawing (my sister draws a lot so she might want to borrow it).

    To be honest, size is not so important for mapping I have found. I have the medium Bamboo and just got the small one for my wife and playing around with it, it's not that much difference even though it's half as large active area.

    I have an A6 and would actively avoid going any larger. I can get extremely fine control with it as is and I can take it anywhere. If I were to spend the extra money I'd go up in quality (number of pressure levels, extra features and so on) rather than up in size. I had an A4 Nisis, and it was a nightmare. I'm more than happy with my A6 Wacom graphire.
