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.

Is it legit, did anyone actually receive product?
Legit. I might recommend acquiring two S3's instead for lower power consumption.

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

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.

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

thank you!

about 1), yes I meant the S3. It pretty much seems to be the best deal? Especially when they really ship Smiley

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.

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