Was walking about at CeX in Lincoln and found that the Xbox One Kinect sensor is only £30 on its own, or if you buy online add an extra £2.50 for delivery as it's £30 online too. GAME have it for £49.99 and the cheapest I can see on Amazon is £39. Not bad if you just want the sensor.

Think it's usefulness depends on how you have your home system set up.
I have my digibox going into my XB1 and because it is at the centre of my media I find I get a lot of use from it, from simple things like saying "Xbox On" as I walk in and it turns on my TV, Receiver & Digibox, to be able to say "Xbox Watch BBC1" then quickly "Xbox go to Netflix". Xbox Pause, Xbox Mute I use all the time.
It's a small thing, but I go out to make a cuppa when watching a film (Xbox Pause) and then as I walk back in the room it's "Xbox Play" even before I'm sitting down again.
Then there's things like "Xbox, Bing The Usual Suspects" bringing up a results box and I can easily find if it's available on any of the streaming services I subscribe to (rather than going into each one and searching) or if not how much to rent it.
For games, it's now of no practical use. For everything else, it somehow still feels like the future and genuinely improves my media centre.

I absolutely love my Kinect 2 and seriously recommend Xbox One users to have it. Particularly at this price.

What do you use it for?

Agreed. Even if only used for voice commands it's worth it at this price!
I want a second for my other 'box, but waiting to see what surprises e3 brings us...

I think I have only used it for scanning DLC codes and trying out Skype on my XBox One a couple of times. Other than that it's just sitting there. Not sure if it was sarcasm, but if not, what do you use it for?

Turning it on/off. Turning up down volume, switching channels, use a code. Whenever I just want to chill and watch TV or youtube I just use my voice

Worth getting at this price, Major Nelson recently announced they were working on new stuff for it.
