Late-Gen releases

The PS2 is closing in on 7 years of existence and still has some original titles coming out for it, whereas the Gamecube and Xbox flow of titles pretty much completely stopped with the release of their respective hardware updates, Wii and Xbox 360. The only two titles of note that both systems are getting are Madden NFL 08 and Ratatouille. From the research I've done, these are the last titles that will be released for both* systems.

The Madden NFL 08 Gamecube and Xbox titles are interesting not only because it shows the power of Madden but that they will both cost 39.99 as opposed to the 49.99 being charged for the Playstation 2 version! Further proof of the devastating combination of Madden and PS2.
These two versions of Ratatouille are the same price as the PS2 version(39.99), but notice that the Xbox version is an EB Games/Gamestop exclusive. Better buy up a 20 copies for your collection while you can still find them! And yes, it actually has that stripe printed on the cover itself.

*UPDATE: Turns out the Xbox still has an NCAA 08 and FIFA 08 left in it.
