No idea what to do now

So I was all set on buying the PS4 batman bundle tomorrow but then of course today they announced 2 different versions of the PS4 coming out soon. So there is going to be a 1tb version and a 500mb version that saves more power coming soon I believe. First off is the power saving version really that much better? Is my PS4 less likely to break with it? Also with the 1tb version would it just be better to buy a 2tb drive? If I was to buy a 2tb drive is transferring your game saves easy or a complicated process? What would you do in my position..? I have to go to college on August 15th and wanted to play before then. Is there even an official release dated for the U.S? Gosh.

I'm a lil worried about Playstation 4 warranties because I hear there are bullshit policies where they won't repair your ps4 if they find dust in it, so I don't know if buying the newer version is going to be more beneficial.

I´d buy the regular version, download the firmware to a USB and then purchase a 2 TB HDD, make the HDD upgrade and begin to use it, to tell you the truth, there won´t be much difference in the final run between the 500 gb and the 1 TB version, twice may sound as a lot but with 40-50 gb installs and 2-4 gb updates even a 1 TB will be filled very soon. 1 tb in the PS3 was a huge amount of storage, in the PS4 is not.
