Hi,

Yeah, but that's what they cost, these are not your average sensors.

look at the botom of the page herehttp://wiki.droids-corp.org/index.php/Microb_Technology/2009/Beacon

That's a home built unit, so you need to build it yourself if you want one.
Or, better yet, start using a Sharp distance sensor and get to know how that works first - only a few (well off) people use the factory made LASER sensors and I don't think you would get much out of it, that you cannot have with a much cheaper Sharp, at your present level of knowledge, so it would be a waste of money anyway.

The Sharp IR Rangefinders that Soeren mentioned are probably more than enough for what you're looking for unless you have some more detailed requirements.

Here is some information comparing the different models:

Also here is Admin's $50 robot modified with a Sharp IR Rangefinder:

Oh and there's always this SoR tutorial on mapping as well:
