Anyone got their GoPro 3 Black yet?

[nick s]

So i pre-ordered from action cameras back at the end of October. Just rung them and still no date for expected delivery available! Apparently they are waiting for an update from GoPro as they don't have enough stock!

Not sure whether to get a refund and order from elsewhere? Are they shipping from anyone else yet? As far as i understand all the other versions are availabel, just struggling with stock for the black edition!

Seems to be the case. No stock.

I received a load of Amazon vouchers over xmas and am waiting patiently for them to stock the Black. I mailed them with a polite inquiry asking if they had any idea when they might have it in but was told they are waiting for Gopro to release more.

Have you looked at Gopros web site? Looks like you can order from there.

Apologies for the slight thread hijack but what's the difference between the silver and black version?

Where did you get that from (looking at the price it's a good £70 cheaper than anywhere else)?

[rustandoil]

I am not in a hurry for a action camera so will wait until the Black is in stock and hopefully with a discount code

I am now taking the time to watch more reviews of cameras and the Sony AS15 is looking good.....

Ordered mine boxing day direct, and it arrived on monday. Fairly quick for the festive period.

Apple.com I was going to buy it off action cams but I just had a daft look on apple site, and noticed it was cheaper but not 70 quid, the vat needs to be added on.

Knowing apples customer service I used them instead

I ordered mine from absolute snow in November and i am still waiting for my delivery. The latest "estimate" is 15th of January. I'm thinking of holding out as i used a discount-code and bagged it with 10% off RRP.

I am due to head to the mountains in mid feb i'm starting to get concerned that its not going to arrive in time and i'm thinking of biting the bullet and ordering direct from gopro.com (to the tune of £50 more with postage).
