Epic pushes back the PS3 release of the Titan Pack until March 19.

On the eve of the release of the first major expansion pack to Unreal Tournament 3, Epic Games has announced on the game's official forums (via BeyondUnreal) that the Titan Pack has been delayed on PlayStation 3. The monster-sized PC release is still on track for a release tomorrow, but PS3 owners will have to wait another two weeks, until March 19, before getting their hands on the update.

Epic Games' Steve Polge wrote on the forums:

Unfortunately, due to circumstances out of our control, the certification process for the PS3 patch and DLC has taken much longer than we expected. As a result, we have been forced to push back the release date for the PS3 version to 3/19.

The PC patch contains updates that will improve mods cooked for PS3, so we'll be taking advantage of this extra time to work with mod authors to make sure the best mods for UT3 are cooked with the latest patch.

The free update continues Epic's post-release support of the Unreal Tournament games, although this is the first time console gamers will be getting a taste. Among the contents of the Titan Pack are nearly 20 new maps, two new weapons, and support for Steam Achievements and PS3 Trophies. There's a lot to look forward to, so hopefully Epic won't have lost the faith of any PS3 gamers that now face an additional wait before getting any new official content. At least they're not losing out as much as owners of the mod-less 360 version are
