I guess they want you to pay for the name.

prices dropped to $7500 - still a joke.
you can get a 200GH antminer system for 3.15BTC or roughly $2200 (plus PSU cost) that uses about 1/3 the power per GH

Bitmain sets the new standard IMO. Have been very very happy with 5 of their units so far, and have another two coming in from their latest group buy.
Can't wait to see what those folks come up with next !
This will earn about 0.1 BTC per day IF it ships on Dec 30 and will decline quickly to 0.025 BTC per day as HF and CT ship their backlog and everyone else continues shipping.
I would say they are worth around 2.5BTC or about $2400 IF you get them ON TIME.

exactly say no to these fucktards. Vote with your wallet. Think first and don't buy later.
No. Just hope more people get the message.

I don't think this one is vaporware, considering the $ to Gh ratio.
240GH and louder than a jet engine for $12K. I was wishing for that. Wishing upon a star.
For those interested, we've got a rack mountable solution using the same exact chips(in chili miners) available for shipping today
6.6 BTC ($5,827.8 at today's rate)
Very limited supply:

maybe a bad joke? lol
That price is right out of touch with what the market is doing. $47.50 per GH/s was a reasonable price 6mths. ago, we are down below $20 per GH/s now.
thats laughable. In these forums there is a user selling a SUNZI system (6 'chili's, 200GHash total) for 6.6BTC, or roughly half the price.
o, and it includes a PSU and is already rack-mountable

lol 12k$ ... you get 3 AntMiner's for that price yielding 500-600 GH/s

Hmm..agreed about adding a simple mining host. It's very possible to do an Avalon style micro-router and run cgminer/bfgminer off OpenWRT. Hell, even a RaspPi stuck in there running MinePeon or something would be better.
I run my whole mining rig off a cheap TPLink router running OpenWRT - my Blades go through it, my Jalapenos are run off it, and my Cube will be running off it. Heck, it's a £50 mini computer with built in 4-port Gigabit switch that uses about 2W of power.

pulling an asicminer move, reselling old tech in a new shiny case haha
but the price is just ridic

When it comes to hash rate, there is no such thing as old tech; just tech.

I just got in another two Antminer units that get me ~380GH/s, at ~two-thirds the price, and a little over half the power consumption vs this offering.
Yay competition !

BitMain AntMiner definitely offers the most bang for your buck right now. Too bad their distribution system is so weird... auctions and group buys only.

$11,875.00??? 
for 250 GH 
BFL betting on everlasting BTC >$800 FIAT
As much as I love BTC at current values
the onslaught of competitors 2014 hardware hitting the network including (big maybe) BFL's monarch going to make this offering the Jalepeno of tomorrow. Nevermind the minimum 1200watts of electricity to run it daily
NEVER ROI!

Their hardware looks so good and is very enticing. It's such a shame they are such a shit company...
This seems weird to me. I'm sure they have a product, but... who would buy this? $12k for 250GHs... even if the difficulty only increased by 25% each month, you wouldn't ROI for most of a year. If we ignore the FUD and anger here, I still can't think of a situation where it would make sense for someone to purchase this.
This isn't vaporware. This is just a new configuration for their 65nm chip. New orders for Singles ship within a week.
Really, 12 grand for 250Ghash based on 65nm?! Who are their customers, power companies?
After selling my BFL singles and KnC Jupiter all for 3x the price I paid; even after mining with them, I have no doubt there is a market willing to buy these. They're clearly after the uninitiated miners.

Order Terms: All sales are final.
I like how they openly, knowingly, still try and enforce this when they know its illegal.
Already mentioned here:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/new-bfl-product-250gh-miner-for-11k-available-on-1231-366415
Looks like they just stuck some Single boards in a case with a power supply and a USB hub.
Notice the USB connector on the back. For 11 grand and change they could have at least spent another $20 for an internal TP-Link host to give it Ethernet + WiFi interfaces instead of requiring a separate host.

buy now buy now buy now!
They probably innocently put Dec 30th, 2013 when really they meant to type 2014.
