Little Big Planet. 'Nuff said! lol
Well, I guess that counts. Though there is a huge difference between LBP and the Unreal Engine Tool Set.

That's like saying there's a huge difference between Oblivion and Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn.

No. It's like saying there is a huge difference between a map builder and a game engine.
There is hope for user created content for the console version after all!

During a recent chat with CVG, Bioware co-founder Greg Zeschuk spoke about Dragon Age: Originsand what DLC and demo plans the company had for the title. With the PC version shipping with a really robust tool set, console gamers may feel like they're missing out, but Zeschuk says that Bioware is actually looking to get that user content from the PC over to consoles. Aside from that, there's also discussion of new dungeons and expansions that could be DLC, though Zeschuk wouldn't comment beyond confirming DLC is in the works.

Thanks for that find xL. I was hoping we'd see some of the better user created content come to the PS3. Question will be, "Free or paid user created DLC?" I would think that would be something that would come free, as it's not developer created.
Most likely it will be free. Though it's going to be interesting to see how this all plays out because we all know Microsoft does not allow user created content on their concole. So, Bioware is going to have to find a way around Microsoft terms or just offer this feature for the Playstation 3 version.

ok i guess im a little confused?? i understand about the user created content in a game like LBP and the upcoming modnation racer but i guess im not following how this would work in a game like dragon age?? if im reading all this right, then this is something thats big in pc gaming? well i have never played games on a pc. could you please explain??
User-Created Content on PC is pretty much in the same vain as it is on console, just of a larger scale/community. People taking a game and reskinning it to fit a show or something else they like, adding in certain character skins or levels, making an entirely new campaign or tweaking what's already there, etc..
It's possible for them to do it on the PS3 unregulated as Epic did with Unreal Tournament 3 (just make it so PC users can finalize the code so it's readable on PS3) but the deal with that and one of the reasons UTIII released on PS3 first (alongside the PC version) is because of it's open platform. MS would have to approve any 360 content so if Bioware has no problem with it, we could see a similar thing on the PS3 if they add those tools for PC users.
So we'll have to see how it all turns out.
