Got mine. It's the real deal. I had been tempted to jump on the Amazon deal until this deal came along.

Considering you don't want to spend "a lot" of money I think the P3S is an excellent choice for a first drone that is not a toy (Tello). Shop around and consider a refurb if you can find one. I was gifted a P3S refurb by my family last year and it has been a great learning tool. Keep in mind...
