Speaking to Eurogamer, Chris Satchell, XNA group manager at Microsoft, has said that he believes Sony - as well as othere companies - is walking on thin ice by allowing users to upload content to its online services.
“I think there’s a potential risk on any platform… where you’re running in what we call native mode, where you’re writing straight to the metal, not a sandbox layer like XNA, and then that runs a script engine and you let people do that in that script engine,” he said.
“Any platform that let’s you do that, and doesn’t have the right security measures in place - whether it’s Sony, whether it’s Nintendo, whether it’s Apple, whether it’s anyone - you’re inviting trouble, because sooner or later someone will want to prove they can do it.”

Maybe they don’t fear the overflow as much as MS?

They’re probably just pissed about the excellent Master Chief skin for UT3.
Anyways, what exactly are they concerned about here? Are they talking about Little Big Planet or Home?
In that case, an army of moderators will take care of that problem.

They’re talking more about things like UT3 mods. LBP is pretty much a sandbox.
April 11th, 2008 at 3:42 pm
LBP is a fucking toy box if you ask me.

One of those lockable ones for adults?

So… seems over for 360 UT3?
April 11th, 2008 at 3:55 pm
Microsoft doesn’t want any of that free content contaminating its console.

UT360 was never going to contain user mods, ever. Can’t be a surprise to anyone. If MS can’t control it, it doesn’t get implemented.
April 11th, 2008 at 4:17 pm
But didn’t Rein say that without user mods they’d never release it on 360?
April 11th, 2008 at 5:01 pm
Rein likes money.

And UT3 ain’t selling as hot as it’s predecessors on PC.
