Unreal Tournament III To Have Fewer Maps On 360?

Marc Rein said in an interview that Epic may ship fewer maps on the Xbox 360 version of Unreal Tournament III than on the PS3 version due to the extra space the Blu-ray format gives them. Followup statements from Rein have indicated that they’ve put the 360 version of UT3 on the back burner while they work on the PS3, PC, Mac, and Linux versions of the game along with the Windows version of Gears of War.
“[W]e already have our hands completely full shipping UT3 on PC and PS3 as well as shipping Gears of War on PC. When we get those out of the way, and get a little time to spend with our friends and families, then we’ll get back on this issue and figure it out.”
While I could take not-so-quiet glee at Epic giving the love to the PS3 and PC world with the upcoming shooter heavyweight, I suspect it could also be a tactic to get their Microsoft reps to snap to attention and give them more help or concessions.
