Epic busting its balls to get UT III mods on 360

The open nature of PlayStation Network has meant it's not been a problem
bringing UT III mods to PS3, but Xbox Live's essentially closed network is
causing a stumbling block. However, Epic VP Mark Rein has said the dev hopes
"to find a way to bring mods over to the Xbox 360".
"That's part of the reason we announced we were shipping the game on PC and
PS3 this Fall, but we don't have a date for the Xbox 360 version - it'll be
some time after the new year. Part of that is because we haven't been able
to figure out just how we're going to do the mods. And Microsoft's got a
very busy Christmas schedule... We just couldn't get enough attention from
them to solve that problem", Rein said.
So Epic currently doesn't have the answers to how the UT III mod scene on
Xbox 360 is going to work, and it's something the developer isn't 100
percent guaranteeing will materialise - but it wants it to happen.
"Worst case scenario is, we port them and we put them through certification
and we put them up as downloadable content," Rein added.
"That's the worse case scenario. Hopefully between now and whenever it is we
ship on Xbox 360, we figure out a user-managed way to do it."
