Soo, the graphics tablet I'm going to be buying this year isss *drumroll*
The Genius G-Pen M172X!

I was planning on buying a Bamboo Fun Pen and Touch, but this is a decent £80-ish pounds cheaper, and seems much better to work with ^^.

It has a pretty big work surface, 1024 levels of pressure sensitivity and a ton of hot keys (I think it's about 24). It's also super duper thin and looks very portable. Which is helpful, as I almost always have a pen, pencil and some paper on the go for drawing.

Anywho, has anybody purchased tablets by Genius and had problems with them? Would you recommend Bamboo tablets over G-Pen tablets?

Sounds fancy. But, I don't like tablets. Unless, of course, it's the Wii U, which I'll be buying this year.

I'm going to get the Cintiq from Wacom.

It depends upon the wacom tablet. The bamboo tablets are more simple and for beginners. I have an Intuos4 Wacom tablet, which is a more advanced and professional tablet (I got it for $200 less because I bought a refurbished version).
It seems to me that if the Genius is cheaper, you will probably get a better deal because you will get more out of it.

I would buy a Cintiq if I could afford it X3

It was this or a Bamboo Fun Pen & Touch.
The Intuos tablets look good also, but I really only need an in-expensive tablet for a non-professional artist :3.

I haven't tried the tablet you're mentioning, but I have a Wacom Bamboo tablet and it works fine even for advanced stuff - it's extremely sensitive and practical to use. I suggest you go with whatever seems best to you. The G-Pen M712X looks good, but you could probably get a Bamboo tablet for much cheaper and you get used to whatever tablet you decide to buy anyway - so it probably won't make much difference.

It arrived in the mail yesterday :3. So even if I may have bought a bamboo tablet, no looking back noaw.

I don't like tablets,it would be better to buy a smartphone,such as Galaxy Note,it's pretty good,it has many features,and the best of it,it's that it's an Android phone!iPhone sucks because it has too many applications that cost money,Android has maaaany free apps,and they are the full versions,on the other hand,the iPhone,it has "Lite" applications,which means that they're not full but,they're free though

Way to answer the question.

A graphics tablet is more centered on drawing/modelling that anything else.
