I went to a CeX recently and they have a bunch of Xbox 360 Kinects laying around for 8 euros. Even my hometown which doesn't have a lot of tech stores, has Xbox 360 Kinects laying around at some mall shops for pretty cheap. I can go out and buy one today for cheaper than a meal out, and make use of the wide software made for it by the Kinect community, and I know exactly what to expect in terms of its capabilities. Same can't be said for any of the other sensors, which are also low enough volume that if they get discontinued you'll probably have an even harder time sourcing them than a 360 Kinect discontinued 10 years ago
