What's great about it: Cheap, clear image and fast
What's not so great: firmware issue
Bought this before black friday of 2013. Great Len, shoots really fast just like any other prime lens. I do like the 50mm more but love the pancake look. it drawns people attention when i put this super small lens on my T4i and 5DM2.
The bad... if you get one, Please update the firmware to the most current. there is a problem on the lens when using filter or putting pressure on the tip. it gets stuck and does not focus no more until remove the lens and reattach, that resets the Len to go back to normal. If you are shooting with no filter, chances are you won't notice it.
I believe it's pressure on the lens and makes the motor stuck. Was going to return it but decide to update the firmware to see if it fixes it. after update, it's been working fine for me. I stop using the filter recently as it's so cheap that if gets damage i can just get a new one.
Have fun
I would recommend this to a friend!

 Pokémon X Standard Edition - Nintendo 3DS
Pokémon X Standard Edition - Nintendo 3DS
Set off on a thrilling 3D adventure that takes you to places the Pokémon franchise has never gone before. Pokémon X travels to the breathtaking land of Kalos, a star-shaped, enchanting region brimming with stunning forests, buzzing cities and many brand-new Pokémon. Gaze upon the wonder of the iconic tower in the center of Lumiose City, as you battle, catch and add to your Pokédex an array of new Pokémon that join the 640 you've already encountered. The Trainer is only as good as his Pokémon, so get ready to fight for glory with the powerful new creatures at your fingertips in Pokémon X.Meet Helioptile, a Normal- and Electric-type Pokémon who can generate powerful electricity from sun-bathing to power machinery. While it may display a lack of bravery, its robust Parabolic Charge move makes up for it when Helioptile attacks everything around it. Its HP is restored by half the damage taken by those hit for a significant addition to your Pokédex. Fletchling, a Normal- and Flying-type Pokémon, may take adversaries by surprise, since behind its beautiful chirp and friendly personality lies relentless battle attacks, such as Flame Charge. In addition to doing damage, Fletchling's speed increases every time it unleashes this move. Normally sporting a leaf in its mouth and an intimidating glare, Fighting-type Pokémon Pancham shows its softer side and lets out a smile when you pat its head. During battle, however, Pancham lets loose daunting moves, including Parting Shot, which not only lowers an opponent's Attack and Special Attack, but also allows Pancham to switch out for another Pokémon in a Trainer's party during battle. Discover a new method of transportation with Gogoat, a large Grass-type Pokémon who will gladly let you ride its back around Lumiose City. In battle, its Horn Leech move recovers HP equal to half the damage dealt by its move. With so much to explore and so many new Pokémon to acquire, you're sure to happily spend hours lost within the world of Pokémon X.

Getting 500gb superslim ps3 with GTA5 is a pretty good deal for $270. the 12gb ps3 is already $200.
One thing i found out that sucks about this ps3 is that it makes a lot of noise when it needs to read off the disc.

Our broke down before the holiday and we were lucky we got it during the free delivery sale. I think it's better than my old front loader HE washer as it does get the clothe completely wet vs the old one just spray on it.
The only drawback is that since the clothes are stack up, if you don't take out the clothes once it's finish, the bottom clothes will tend to absorb the the water and get more damp the others.

will it work on my gatway laptop

Yes it will work, otherwise you will need to format into a Windows file system.

You will notice that it shows 7.6gb or something like and not the complete 8GB. There is a reason for that but thats a question for another day.
