Either way it sounds like a bargain to me!

I just picked up the EF 1.8 mkI (metal mount, focus ring & distance scale) for 150 USD off of eBay. This old lens is actually pretty rad and a good alternative to the 1.4. I had that lens once, something about it I just didn't like. I'm hoping Canon updates an affordable 50 prime at some point!
Realgeni:
Thank you and apprecite yoru response.

I highly doubt there's going ot be an update to the 50s anytime soon.
There's nothing in the roadmap or anything leaked and even if there was, it would be at least a year after it's announced so it's safe to say i don't think there's anything in 2012…
In fact, seems like the new primes are all with IS and those are the ONLY 2 primes that are being announced for this year so far..and they cost alot more than the 50 1.4
So to be honest, even if they update the 50 1.4, add an IS in there…bump up the price to maybe $500 and above..is it really worth getting?

There is a patent from Canon for an updated 50mm, and it's really time for this: The 50/1.4 has a horrible micro usm, bad bokeh (in comparison to more expensive zooms or primes) and is soft from f2-1.4. Since the 50/1.2 has the focus shift issue, and the Sigma & Nikon competition is way ahead it's about time for Canon to do something about it.
