Jumping into Shadowrun, (with absolutely no PnP experience) Options

[Techno Dwarf]

First off I just want to say thanks to the people who'll help me, this is nooooot my element at all! Secondly, I'm sorry I'm going to type all I'm going to type but I feel it can help explain what I'm looking for. My friend and I were talking about things we liked that weren't broadcasted to everyone out in the world, and she said she liked D&D when she was younger, and I was all "Whaaat? I would have loved to get in on that but nobody thought I'd be into that!"

We ended up planning a weekly thing for Saturdays where we would get together with more of our friends and start tabletop gaming as a way to get to know each other better and have a good time; but we ended up having to pick between D&D, Shadowrun, and Cyberpunk, and we settled on Shadowrun! I learned about Shadowrun because I played SR:R and loved the setting and the plot of both campaigns -- but Dragonfall especially.

Anyways with that background out of the way, I have absolutely no knowledge when it comes to table-tops and none of us (save the girl that started this idea for us, but that was a one off thing) have ever played a PnP game. Beyond SR:R I have zero knowledge about the setting, the plot, how it's played. Learning about that isn't a big deal because I feel learning it from the ground up with my friends will be a really, really, really fun experience! We do know we're going to get the 5th edition but what I'm wondering is what books we need (if any at all).

We were hoping to start asap but when I checked on Amazon for a beginners set I found out it's not released yet and comes out the 24th this month. If there is any place you know we should start than please let me know! I'd really appreciate it. Also I have no idea if we need more than dice and paper to play (let alone what kind of dice), I really have no clue when it come to this. At all.

Another thing is I don't know if characters can transfer between different campaigns or not, so if there's a run we can get that would last us several weeks would be awesome. My one problem is I have a budget I have to get and getting the game has become my responsibility, so if there's anyway to get all of that within a $60 price range, or if you can shape whats suggested around that, I would really, really, really appreciate it!

TLDR; group is new to PnP, need good runs/rulesets for 5th edition, $60 price cap

Thanks again for everyone willing to help!
