antaeusa: You guys know much about the S3 Batteries? I see some kewl 2300 mAH batteries going for cheap eh? They the best?

It is not all about 2300mAH. If you buy a cheap battery then it will be worst than 1600mAH battery. Get a genuine battery it will last longer.

Should wait for power pack. It will come soon

overrated capacities to fool potential buyers...you may void warranty and I doubt that its quality is to that of original Samsung.

highly not recommended...

The power pack came with the case. It is like a tough case with extra battery inside.
S2 power case has 1300mAH and it just mount on top of the 1600mAH battery. It is the most convenience way to buy :)
If it is cheap enough.

Doesn't the S3 battery hold the NFC chip?

No. NFC chip is on the motherboard of S3 but the battery is act as an antenna. So you'll need an official battery to be able to use NFC.

Antaeusa,
That is one ugly power pack. Don't waste your money and wait for OEM battery expansion pack or Casemate, belkin and Power pack to release something for it. Branded one is always better than unbranded one in this case.
