North American gamers who bought UT3 today were disappointed to discover that their PS3 version of the game cannot yet accept mods made on the PC editor. Despite interplatform modding acting as a big drawcard of the game, there appears to be no means for the PC editor to package the .ini, .ut3, and .u files necessary for other mods into a format that can be extracted and installed by the game’s import content function. As Epic team member Josh Adams explains on the official forums:

However, the PS3 mod tools aren’t quite ready yet. We are working through some final legal/release issues.
When it’s ready, you will need to download the latest PC patch and another PS3 Mod Tools “patch” that adds the full PS3 mod support to the PC version.
You will have to cook ypur mods for the PS3 specifically. You will also need removable media (memory card, USB drive, etc) to transfer the mod from your PC to your PS3.
