There are various posts on the official UT3 forums saying that one of the user created mods 'Cooked' by Epic games is crashing PS3's.
People are pointing towards the 'Mutator' mod that was released.
As this is a user mod it is unclear who will look into this problem as if Epic look into the problems they will simply be a free testing arm for PS3 user mods and this task will become impossible once they release their utility for pc users to cook mods themselves.
This mod was obviously cooked for use by Epic so i think they will look into it but it does raise some questions about managing user created mods being used unintentionally/intentionally in virus like ways.
Just like mods on pc do not install multiple ones at a time, test it fully after installing it. At least then you know which mod caused the issue and it can then be removed.
Opinion is divided on this one for sure! Is motion blur good for gaming? Why do developers include it?
I hate any game that has motion blur and the first thing I do is switch off the motion blur in games. It just makes me nauseous.
I agree with Alex here, many implementations are terrible but when it is done right it improves the experience.

“In all seriousness though, I feel like DOOM’s success will be measured by how much the game has to offer. Graphically it’s looking spectacular, and I’m sure the latest multiplayer trailer caught all of our attention. Personally, the game is beginning to remind me of those late nights playing Unreal Tournament 3, which is totally a good thing. This, in addition to the promise of user-generated content, is making DOOM look like the best first-person shooter I’ve seen in ages.”
The campaign looks brilliant, like a true nostalgia trip to the original DOOM titles of old! The multiplayer equally looks like a trip down memory lane to fast-paced and frantic arena games a-la Quake, and honestly the MP REALLY makes me want to the get game at launch to capitalise on the hype. Problem is I'm not overly fussed with multiplayer typically in games, they can get weary after a while, and buying a game solely for its MP is risky - especially on console - as it's heavily dependant on the community!
Rock to my left, hard place to my right..
EDIT: On the MP note, does anyone know if it'll have bots available, similar to Unreal Tournament 3? I still give that a quick play time to time with bots (and all the mad mutators).
I’m exactly the same, usually multiplayer games are of no interest to me. But DOOM has sparked my curiosity, especially as someone who used to enjoy multiplayer first person shooters like Quake/Unreal. Totally understand your concerns about it being heavily dependant on the community, too. Which is just another reason they should include bots, in case the numbers need to be made up. I’m hoping the community will be good, considering the creative freedoms they’re handing over with the SnapMap thing.
Its basically a "console" ahead, in terms of graphics, of another shooter called Homefront thats getting ready to release. LOL
Great selections as always and they are...
Final Fantasy

This makes microsoft look pretty smart now...I wouldnt mess with those user created mods man...you got too think theres one jerk in the lot that wants too ruin ps3s...would be like the first person too create the first mod, someone wants too get credit too create the first virus.
you honestly think ms had something to do with hacking the blu-ray website?? they would risk jail time too make sony look bad huh...you are officially a jackass...congrats with that conspiracy theory.
No idiots. UT3 has been crashing PS3's even before the mods. It's obvious seeing as how the game was basically pressure and rushed to come out by the end of this year. So all the bugs are still roaming somewhere in there. It's unacceptable at the same time, they were under pressure in making the game come out.
scaremongering & someone trying to spread F.U.D
