Just got my new PS4 this morning and it has been great, but as expected, it starts off flush on one side and gradually there is an increasing gap between the unit and the table surface. I'm just curious if this was ever confirmed to be an intentional design or if anyone had asked Sony about it.

Same here. They said to get there at 6:00 am even though they don't open until 10:00. Trying to decide if it's worth it if a new batch is coming out next week.

I went with Ivy Bridge because it doesn't seem like there is much performance difference with Haswell and will save me money. A SSD does seem great to have, but trying to keep it somewhat budget build. Probably down the road I will get one. Just curious what are some must have pc games.

Well I'm just putting together a computer and apparently they don't charge tax in Cali which would save me a good amount.

I reworked the list a bit. I was able to find a clean/small case for $40. Changed the CPU to an i5 and was able to bundle it with a 1TB HD which actually made it cheaper than the 500 gig. As for the GPU, 650 ti boost vs 7850 I'm not sure about. For some reason I like the idea of having Nvidia. Right now I'm at $630 before tax.

Yeah I'm trying to keep it around the current price. I'm kind of stuck on the case I chose cause I was looking for a "clean"/simple looking one with relatively compact dimensions for an ATX case, maybe there is a cheaper alternative. As for the GTX 650 ti boost, it doesn't seem like much of a slouch but maybe there is a card for not much more that packs alot more of a punch. As for the resolution, I'm using a 1680x1050 monitor for now.

I live in Cali, no Microcenter around me. I could make it to a Frys though. All the parts were from Newegg.
