Yes, loads of people have received them.

Theres a 200 page thread about them here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=515448.0

[FordPrefect]

Yep (though it usually runs a tad faster than 1ths)

[Noruka]

hm, is anyone else shipping stuff at similar prices/THs?

s3s are out very soon. might want to check out the hardware thread. You'll fine tons of discussion topics on it

This is one of the cheapest 1TH solutions on the market.
$300 cheaper than S2

At this point, doesnt it make the most sense to just wait for the S3? 2 S3's is ~956GH for a total of 1.5BTC (in batch 1) or 1.48BTC (for batch 2) where as the S2 is 1.1TH for 2.689BTC.

Granted, you need 2 additional PSU's for the S3's but I still dont think you are going to be over the cost of the S2.

plus 2 S3 only uses about 730 Watts whereas the S2 uses 1000W

Bitmain gives away $400 coupons to S1 and S2 buyers to put toward new S2's.  So no one ever pays the $1745 price.  You can usually purchase a coupon from someone on the thread.
But at this point you are much better off ordering 2 S3 miners and getting a dell power supply at

One should be able to power both S3's at stock voltage.

even with free $400 coupon, you are still paying $1345 for S2, where for $975 you can get 2 S3

S2 - ~ $1.34 / GHs
S3 - ~ $1.02 / GHs

[jonnybravo0311]

seems pretty good
few questions
1. is that the best deal on the market currently?
2. where to get those coupons
3. do they price in BTC or USD originally? Since BTC is quite on the rise.
4. is it late to pre-order for the first batch of s3s?

1) No - see the post directly above yours.  The S3 is currently a better deal than the S2
2) Bitmain gives them to you when you order from them.  Or, if somebody has coupons in their account, they can send to your account.  Most people expect to be paid for the coupons.
3) BTC only
4) Yes

now exactly because IF you don't have PSU, you'll have to purchase it for $60-75ea (after coupons), so add 120-150 for a final $1095-1125 (still better than 1340), however Bitmain said that s2 will be upgradable (on the cheap) to 1.8-2th.

Legit. I might recommend acquiring two S3's instead for lower power consumption.

Your mean is with 2 s3 can economic than a s2?

[CryptoCrane]

It sounds like all of the $400 coupons expired on June 27th. As of now, the cheapest place to get a new S2 is Amazon. They're usually about $120 cheaper there. There's also batch 1 S3s available in 1-packs or 2-packs, but they're not discounted like the S2s.

[allsopfree]

no i don't have it, sorry to say i can't help you with that.

[CounterStrike]

Get a antminer s3 instead, much higher chances to ROI then s2 and they are going to ship real soon..

S2 is outdated and unefficient, going to buy S3 or wait for S4 instead..

[boliu]

Yup,, when S4 comes out,  people will say S3 outdated and unefficient, wait for S5....

[rkinnin]

Yep (though it usually runs a tad faster than 1ths)

I can't seem to get my s2 any faster than 995GH/s. 

Last hour it was at 954GH/s.

What all can be done?
