Some BestBuy's have the have the GoPro 3 black edition for $250 ... in store pick-up only.
Sounds like a good deal, I would go for it. I couldn't find too much online, but what I could find looks like the 3 BE is pretty comparable to the 3+ BE.
seems to me like the main difference is in the still shooting capabilities so if you want it for video why pay more? Also, Stills made from HD video are still way lower resolution that a still shot as a still. They are OK for the web but not really great for printing...not that anyone prints photos anymore.
This comparison makes me think that if you plan on using the GoPro for skiing, that the low light, heavy overcast days would turn out much better with the GoPro 3+. I have an original GoPro and the Low light performance was not very good. Maybe someday I'll get a new/better one.Here is a cool comparison video showing how far they have come from the Hero2 for low light capture.

Sold out before I could get one. Guess I'll wait.
Here is video I shoot w/ Polaroid XS100
Reading the Amazon reviews it seems a lot of people have trouble with the software. Even the positive reviews mentioned it was pretty difficult to deal with.
