Don't worry, it is still coming on both platforms, Mark Rein assures us of that, but it will first come on the PS3 platform. For the game to be available on 360 also, some more research needs to be done in the ability to bring mods to
the platform in order to download the game via Xbox Live.

In an interview with GameInformer, Rein stated for everyone to understand that having been confronted with a few problems, they had to change strategy but not change plans. He said he considered Gears of War to be their showcase title for the Xbox 360 and now, UT3 is going to be the same regarding the PS3.

"...we wanted to make sure we'd be able to bring user-created content to the platform before we made a firm commitment to it," said Rein. "Honestly, we view Gears of War as our showcase title for the 360, and we really view UT as our showcase title for the PS3. There's a large audience, and it just makes sense to do. I don't think it's anything we thought we weren't going to do-we just want to focus on UT3 on PS3 to start."

The bottom line is that Epic isn't quite ready to throw in UT3 for the Xbox 360 on Xbox Live as it is unsure that Microsoft's strict certification process would allow for user mods on the console. So, while PlayStation Network looks more like the place where "it's going down," Xbox owners shouldn't be sad. You know how it goes; maybe you'll get something better as a reward for waiting more.
