Unreal Tournament 3 PS3 timed exclusive? http://forums.epicgames.com/showthread.php?s=12165fdb616dacee65a3bdf4f48ac17b&p=24937622#post24937622 He says: Watch for News tomorrow.

I think Unreal 3 will not be a PS3 exclusive, not even a timed one. There are simply too many PC gamers out there that would buy the game without thinking twice and that would be money into Epic's coffers.
However, Given that Epic has most likely recouped their investment through engine licenses, they are in a position to do so without it impacting their bottom line; not that they would do so, but they can afford to do so.
I think Unreal will be a (timed) exclusive for the 360, given their close collaboration with Microsoft on both the console specs and GoW. Plus, Microsoft has been in a big spending mood lately - perhaps they cut a deal with Epic a la GTAIV?
My bet's on Haze being the PS3 exclusive, but who knows?
Tomorrow (tonight my time) we will all know. This E3 is getting very very interesting...
