Not an issue here. My printer has almost every memory card slot on it (no Duo Memory stick). I just pop it into the drive, select no to printing images, download the mods to my SD card and go.

It's kinda nice actually, 20gb to share between my PS3 and Wii. :)

At some point downloading the map automatically when you join a game is going to be a must or this could get really annoying, but for now, kudos for user created content.

I know it has been said, but I want to say it again as it makes me feel better: The 40 and 20 gig models cannot use the mem stick. You have to use a usb device. Not huge, but it is an inconvenience and may allude non-tech savvy users.

@Waziir: Wow, you have to love that you just quoted Tycho in the very article that proves he was talking from ignorance. Perhaps you meant to do this, but everything in your post is disproved by this very article. First Tycho complained that there wasn't modding at launch, well admittedly there wasn't, but it's a week out and we're getting mods, so whatever. Second, Tycho claimed that his 20 gig system didn't have the ports necessary. Tycho incorrectly thought you had to use Pro Duo memory sticks or some such, while he can use a usb stick, which he almost certainly has. I normally love Tycho's diatribes, even those against games that I love because his points are valid, however in this case he really dropped the ball.

Good read from Tycho on PA, as usual. His point is moot though, the 20 and 40 GB model have USB ports. Sure, you should not have to use a USB thumb drive, but who doesn't have one or 20 of those by now.

Striderhayasa - Phillyyakk on PSN and Live. — Thu, 20 Dec 2007 19:38:27 MST

@viet0ne: I was typing as before I read your comments. Dude, I agree 100%. Even the 40GB PS3 has 2 USB ports so if push comes to shove, who's to say you can't just buy a USB expansion hub for the PS3 and use that for additional USB slots? It eliminates the need for a SD card slot, Micro SD card , etc etc since you can just buy the SD card and the adapter like I mentioned in my last post. 360 doesn't give you that kind of USB support so WTF are people bitching about?

@Polluted: No, you're not the only one that's having that issue. The other problem I have, is the XMB recently played list won't update with UTIII games. Usually I send my friend invites through that since I can contact people in-game or out. But I noticed UTIII and The XMB crossbar don't talk to each other to keep track of who you recently played. I think a guy from UBISoft was in a "Kotaku" series I hosted last weekend. He was really good. We went back and forth winning a lot of matches while the other players got raped. But there was no way for me to contact him.

It's a good map. I don't even think it was the first one out. The guy released it for PC a while ago and Epic must have thought it was good because they were the ones who cooked up the PS3 translation for him. It's small, but very professional both visually and from a playability standpoint.

Why do people bitch about "no slots" on the 20 GB PS3 when it's has 4 USB ports. What CAN'T you run on that or were you not aware that the USB slots even on the 20GB read USB storage devices of nearly any kind? As a matter of fact, I just installed the mod on my 20GB.

Viet0ne — Thu, 20 Dec 2007 19:29:47 MST

Some of you are real idiots.

The reason why there isnt any place on the PSN to download mods and maps is because everything on the store goes through certification. By the time it passes certification, there will already be a new version of it out and therefore is worthless.

The reason why there isnt any in-game browser to download is the same reason.

Some of you find ways to complain on just about the best feature any console game has ever had. So you need a USB drive or a Media card, who cares. Go buy a cheap one, they are like 15 bucks now and they are able to do more than just transfer mods to the PS3.

Compared to everything else offered on a console, UT3 makes every other game option seem like crap. For example, compared to UT3, forge is almost nothing.

@ KIRBYTHESLAYER: The PS3 web browser has a virus tool now. Also, many things are downloadable via the web browser, such as photos, music, videos, and XMB themes.

Why the UT3 mods are not downloadable? My guess is that Epic did not want to create a community site to host all the PS3-ready mods. Or something.

I think a Kotaku UT3 clan is an awesome idea. I'd love to be a part of one, but I'm having a little issue with my in game friends list. The problem being that it doesn't seem to work. Anyone else having troubles adding friends/accepting friend requests in UT3 on the PS?

More related to this post, I just tried the new map and it's really cool. the game I joined was open, but it only had one other guy in it. He must have been there alone for a while because he seemed a little surprised when I ran up and shot him in the face. Anyway, we ended up having a nice little duel...I kinda got schooled, though. 17/10 I think.

Mod support on the PS3 has been a remarkably elegant PR maneuver for both Sony and Epic, scourging Microsoft's tender, unguarded flank with a profound populist message. Never mind that the PS3 version didn't actually support mods at launch, and even now that they are patching in their campaign promises you can't just download mods from the PlayStation browser and use them directly. Mods need to come over on memory cards for some inexplicable reason. Indeed, gamers lured by the promise of the $400 forty gig machine (or those who purchased the twenty-gig, as I did) don't even have the slots to use mods built in. Oh, you weren't aware? I'm sure they'll be glad to hear that.

@Achaemenid: Do they accept anything but credit cards? I dislike using them online.

IIRC, they actually support Paypal. I used a credit card, and the way they process them is a little sucky. I had to fax in a copy of the credit card (with the signature blacked out) for them to verify it. While fax is (strangely enough) probably more secure than internet, it was still a hassle. So far I've purchased GRAW2, R&C and 2x DS3s from them with no problems.

NOTE: I originally ordered R&C from there because our release date was weeks later than the US. But since they still had to source the game from the US, and then send it to me, I got it a few days after the Aussie release date. I'd say it's definitely worth it if you want cheaper games (and who doesn't?), and/or the difference in release dates is a month or more. The "free" shipping typically takes a week.

"The deathmatch map is designed for 2-6 players and was built by 23 year-old Thomas Browett of Nottingham"

So he made a map no? I know farcry didn't have mods like UTIII but my complaint is Epic should have figured out the right way/better way to do DLC (wither it be Map or Mod) before releasing it on the PS3. How hard would it have been to have a built in map/mod browser built into the game with a site for everyone to upload their creations and review others? This is just another example of rush it out the door developing that has become the norm, get the game out the door and patch whats broken later ::coughHalocough::

Doshu — Thu, 20 Dec 2007 18:31:27 MST

@Achaemenid: Simple. More expensive (shipping) and not worth the hassle.

Umm, yesasia has free shipping, the games are often out earlier (ie. my GT5P has already been shipped "free", but I'd be waiting until next year for it in Australia) and all games are significantly cheaper (AU$65-75 compared to AU$90-110). With the current high value of the AU$, it's a no-brainer.

Trying not to be a walking ad for them, but I really can't see the hassle with getting region free games cheaper and earlier. Oh, and they do have competitors (play-asia.com) with very similar deals.

But I'm an impulse buy sorta person (with a high enough salary to be dangerous), so I'll still buy the "Aussie" version if it's out at the same time.

@mikeluisortega: Why couldn't Epic who is way batter then ubisoft figure out a more convenient way for us to use DLC? On top of that on a system that comes with a harddrive standard. There is no excuse for this at all.

I don't know. Maybe because Epic haven't done this before? Or because it hasn't been done on this console before?

I agree, the mechanisms for downloading mods into games have been around on PCs for ages. But this stuff is still very new in the console world.

I'm not apologising for them not having this sorted though. I do understand this stuff can take time to work out, and I'd rather get the game earlier and have this sort of stuff worked out later (if that's what it takes). But I still expect all game developers to work this sort of shit out to give all of us (gamers) a better (and seamless) experience.

PsycoCoffey — Thu, 20 Dec 2007 18:12:31 MST

The reason you can't use the build in web browser to dl mods is because the web browser doesn't allow you to save to a specific directory, which is needed for the game to find the content. Memory sticks/cards are mounted as if they are part of the file system, allowing the data to be placed in the correct location.
The same thing happens if you want to copy a saved game from another console or the internet.

@McWhertor: it seems one can't simply download to the PS3's built-in mass storage via the internet browser

That's the same with all "web" content on the PS3. I'm hoping that they allow you to download videos, music, etc directly to the PS3's HDD soon. Especially for videos from GameTrailers, etc.

Although it seemed to not work correctly after a certain patch ut4k had the great feature of downloading mod files being played when you joined a game. After a while it didn't seem to keep them and it always redownloaded the maps/files over and over despite having the exact same version of the map played previously. This would be very neat to implement and have a popup asking if you wanted to or not when it found new files.
I believe Team Fortress 2 does this.

@Rabidsquirrel: That's a good question. I haven't read much about the whole PS3 UT3 mods thing, but having to manually download a mod every time you run into someone playing on a custom map, could be a bit of a pain.

Judging by the info that's been coming out, I'm going to assume that a manual download will be necessary.

@mikeluisortega: how are you posting your comments? if it's via pc then you already have the means with which to put content on your ps3.
i reckon the reason for this pc thing is that mods typically live and die through websites like fileplanet and that, so that's where epic reckon the best exposure for their ut3 mods will be. also if you make one for yourself you're going to have to put in on a usb storage (unless you actually think it would be faster to upload to a website and then download it again with the ps3!) so they've made it universal... i heard the content creation thing was as simple as making it for both pc and ps3 and then either clicking 'make mod for pc' or 'make mod for ps3'... mind you i'm in the uk and haven't had even a whiff of ps3 ut3.. ffs

@Zho: Like Crashlanding says.
It has to do with liability. Sony can say that the virus wasn't downloaded onto the console, the user transferred it onto there from their PC.

I bet the removable storage only thing is some kind of liability protection for Sony/Epic. Unless this mod has been through the console certification, ESRB hoops then Sony and Epic have to be careful. Could you imagine a level titled "All Swastika's All The Time" for download in the PSN!? There would be many bricks shat.

I remember Epic saying that there were going to be mods that would be certified and available on the network, but that it would take time. If we can get fan made stuff, without having to have someone nanny the content, then I'll take what I can get.

@Kirbytheslayer: Click the + to the right of my posts for ca...: I don't have a USB stick (or a PS3). Never needed one before. Seems weird to require one to download for a system with a HDD.

I've downloaded themes directly to my PS3 and used them right away.. Why should mods be any different??

I decided to get the PC UT3 because I was sick of waiting for the european PS3 release. And because they turned the speed down for PS3 and I couldn't find any clear information as to whether there was a mutator to fix it.

@Kirbytheslayer: Click the + to the right of my posts for ca...: no it doesn't, if the virus gets on your USB stick it'll get on the PS3 anyway? It just takes one more step longer :P

That really grinds my "gears". They shouldn't have bothered to even releasing this year if you need a computer to download the mod to a PC first. No where on the box does it say "Mods require PC and X transfer device" How had would it have been to make mods and maps available on the PSN store? I can see why MS didn't want to let Epic do what their doing here.

Nice step forward. If only UT3 was released in the UK, let alone if I would care about it. :P

@Kirbytheslayer: Click the + to the right of my posts for ca...: That makes sense but only if all the mods have to be downloaded through some source that verifies them or if the PS3 scans the files on removable storage first.

"one can't simply download to the PS3's built-in mass storage"

"What's up with that?"

It appears the PS3's mass storage is in fact Mordor.

I don't care how it gets on the PS3 as long as it gets on there! As a creator myself this is really exciting!

Who doesn't have a USB stick?

PS: The reason for no downloads on the Ps3?
It avoids viruses on a console.

I hope User-created mods that goes crazy comes soon. I want a teddy bear gun before I pick up my copy.
