** Update **
Two nice high-res screenshots of Half-Life2 are up at halflife.ru. I dont think they are really jaw dropping but the first one certainly has an impressive level of detail.

Eurogamer.net have spotted a sale on GameCubes at the retailer, Index. The drop from £79.99 to £39.99 shows how much the GC is struggling against the Xbox and PS2, but even still at that price it really is a bargin.

While it seems unlikely that the Index sale precipitates a drop of that magnitude in the Cube's official price later this year, a Nintendo spokesperson was keen to emphasise that Index has shown no signs of dropping the Cube from its range.

"Index is currently running a big promotion on all its products, of which GameCube is one, offering up to 50 per cent discount," the company explained in an statement. "As far as we are aware, Index will continue to trade with Nintendo at certain times of the year."
