Okay, so today, I'm going to buy a Wacom tablet, so should I get a Wacom - Bamboo Fun Tablet and Pen - Silver for 199.99, or a Wacom - Bamboo Pen and Touch Tablet - Black for 99.99, USD, which is a better buy, and please explain why, and their functions, which is more better and fun to use, Thanks.

Hold on. Why is the Bamboo Fun $100 more than the Bamboo P&T?

It really depends on what you plan on using it for..

I plan on using it for drawing obviously, Is there any difference between the two, except for additional software + color?

I don't have the pen+touch [had i waited a few weeks, i wouldve gotten one instead of my bamboo fun...but it was on sale! D:], but i can tell you the software that comes with it i rarely use. s: the extra few inches of active area on the bamboo fun pen+touch seem nice, really, but i feel that my bamboo fun [old one; same dimensions as the bamboo] is sufficient enough for all my needs. i have yet to feel that i run out of room on my tablet since i never actually use the entire surface. but if your monitor is a large one, then maybe you could go for the bamboo fun pen+touch.. dunno. i guess it also matters on what you're going to be using it for [drawing, animating, writing, general use]. so i guess its all based upon your own personal needs and preference.

[/quote] So the Bamboo Fun has 2 additional softwares along with additional space on tablet, while the Pen and Touch has Less space, and no additional software? Are the two additional softwares worth the price for Bamboo Fun or should I just go with a Pen and Touch (Black)? EDIT: Is there a way to change the Thread Title? Thanks.

What software does each include? If you're using it for drawing, then you probably won't need the touch function... Also, would you prefer to work on a bigger surface? Its really up to your own preference..

Bamboo Fun or the (Black one), Sorry but I'm a Graphics Tablet noob ;O. EDIT:Wacom - Bamboo Pen and Touch Tablet - Black ($99.99) has Adobe Photoshop Elements 7.0 and Nik Color Efex Pro 3.0 WE3, Wacom - Bamboo Fun Tablet and Pen - Silver has Adobe Photoshop Elements 7.0, Corel Painter Essentials 4.0 and Nik Color Efex Pro 3.0 WE3, But I still don't get why Bamboo Fun Tablet and Pen is 100 Bucks more than Bamboo Pen and Touch Tablet, are there additional functions/items included in the Bamboo Fun Tablet?
