So many other factors to consider besides how hard it is to play..
A harp, you can just pluck randomly more or less and it will make pleasing sounds (depending on quality of the harp).. but to play properly?? Mmm not so sure.
As a guitar player I'd recommend the guitar it's more versatile, practical, and there's plenty more materials to help you learn how play eg youtube and song books. You'll likely be more inclined to pick it up again, whereas unless you've got a purpose the harp is a bit more novelty.
The Yamaha F310 is a popular acoustic beginners guitar. Anything cheaper is likely a false economy. I'd recommend that and a good starter song book. A classic style may be less work for your fingers initially, and slightly closer to a harp in sound.

Doubt its much use trying to contact people or playing games so I wouldn't think so

Wish I could play one.
I've yet to see an Oud.
