The Blu-Ray format will allow them to put more features on the PS3 version of Unreal Tournament III...
Reports from CVG suggest that Unreal Tournament III will ship with more features on the PS3 than the Xbox 360. This is apparently due to the lack of disc space on DVDs compared to the Blu-Ray discs on the PS3.
Speaking to CVG, Mark Rein of Epic said: "We'll compress some things. But you know, we may have fewer maps on the 360 version. Blu-Ray has definitely given us a lot of legroom.
"If you think down the road, well maybe the next UT beyond this one, on Blu-Ray disc, we might fill the whole damn disc with all the cool stuff the mod makers make."
Whether or not the extra features could be available as downloads on Xbox Live Marketplace is unclear. Although, given the amount of extra maps that Epic has released for Gears of War over Xbox Live, presumably this shouldn't cause too many problems for the developer.
