Best piano-like digital keyboard for beginner?

I want to get a digital piano but don%26#39;t have $1000 to spend for one of the high end ones. Ideally I would like to spend under $200. I am a complete beginner so I would like good education software built in, the more songs the better, classical and modern would be nice. I prefer piano-like keys so that I can transition to an actual piano at some point. Realistic sound is always a plus.

Any suggestions? Specific models not just brands would be helpful. Also any general suggestions on teaching yourself piano, good books, etc, would be appreciated. I am a poor college student and have no money for lessons.

Thanks!

The keyboard that I have next to my desk at home is a Yamaha PSR E403; it has a 5 octave keyboard, lessons built in, touch-sensitive keys, and you can record what you play. There%26#39;s also a Yamaha online connection where you can download other lessons and songs to your computer.

I%26#39;ve been happy with this as a keyboard. The keys are full-size. They aren%26#39;t weighted (meaning they%26#39;re not heavy to push like piano keys) - but that%26#39;s a feature you%26#39;re going to pay a lot more for. The sounds are pretty darn good!

I just Googled this keyboard and you can find it for under $200! :-)

As far as teaching yourself? There are just tons of free piano lessons on YouTube, in just about every style you can imagine.

Here are a couple:
