Sometimes people say things that make me smack my forehead...

And wonder what they are thinking. I just read recently a guy suggesting that Epic Games do a version of the editing tools for Unreal Tournament 3 for 360. I'm like... yeah right... and I bet he wants for them to port Photoshop and 3D Studio Max to the 360 and bundle it with the game to go with it. There's more to making mods than running UnrealEd and there's more to having a system capable of editing it than being able to run the game. The PS3 has a version of Linux for it but I would bet you not many people run it and even if they do the firmware on the PS3 doesn't allow you accelerated access to the graphics card so that's a no go for anything game related under PS3 Linux. If they want for the mod scene to survive and thrive they better hope that companies like Epic continue to support the PC because that's where the mods are made. The editing tools are being made for PC and Mac so they better learn to love their PC and Mac gaming cousins because any mod they might be able to download to their consoles are made by a PC\Mac person.

pc\mac, mods, consoles
