If it is true, I will be very happy, since greater online connectivity for consoles is one of the things which I think will return gaming to its glory days.
The difference being that you will probably have to pay for these console "mods", whereas PC game modding, I would imagine, is more fan-based, and thus free. PC mods are works of love, not profit, which probably give an overall better product.
