kupoartist is on a distinguished road
https://www.gamespydaily.com/news/fullstory.asp?id=5138 - confirms the intention for an XBox release. Though not until the PC version is out. The Bad News is that the XBox falls a few generations behind the top range of PCs (which were used to show off HL2 at E3), so the XBox versions won't look much like the PC versions. They'll be nice enough though, and of the standard of the average PC version (speaking right now though... By the time the XBox is out, many people will have much better PCs, and the XBox version may look ugly to many.)

Incidently, it was said that the full quality of HL2's graphics is yet to be seen: The character models in the E3 versions are the best that will be released, but Valve reportadly has even more complex versions that they'll release later on. Not even somthing like the Radeon 9800 Pro is capable of displaying them with a decent frame-rate, or so Valve Say.

What we've already got is pretty spectacular though. The Physics are outstanding (I'll never look at a Radiator in the same way...), The Characters are ever so lifelike (liked the lip-synching that worked as well for English as Chinese) and the set-pieces they showed were awesome (when Alyx gasps and the Hydra stabs that solider and throws him around ). Can't wait. If my constant prattling about it in the partiular section of the forums hadn't already alerted you all to this ^_^
