UT3 Mods...not Filtered by PSN

Interview with Mark Rein, VP of Epic Games.

Will mods on the PS3 be checked or monitored?

No. It's user created content. We don't check mods today on PC, why would we check them in the future? I mean, we check them out if we hear "here's this awesome mod" or they are entered in our contest. We had a big million dollar nVidia "Make something Unreal" mod contest so all those mods were checked because they were submitted to the contest. Somebody had to judge them and decide which ones the rest of the judges should check out and things of that nature. But there's no way to check every single mod that's placed out on the internet.

According to this, PS3 would be getting access to all mods out on pc, but lacks the ability to create them.

filtering through mods would make the flow of mods going from PC to PS3 slower, since Epic would have to check them itself. this pretty much means that once a mod is available on PC, it is available on the PS3. no having to wait to play a mod, nor having to wait to get an improved/fixed version of that mod once they are released.

Counter-Strike was a total conversion but its still considered a half-life mod
