Why would you even consider multiplatform titles if you have a 360?

Skyrim is going to get GOTY despite this
There's clearly a real problem here but the frustrating part is that it's not clear what configuration of the hardware/firmware its affecting or if that even matters at all. It's not happening to everyone but is the people it's happening to a vocal minority or the majority. I guarantee you if I couldn't play skyrim, I'd set something on fire... maybe not but I'd make sure everyone heard about it. So of course the news will be overwhelmingly negative. I doubt that Digital Foundry performed witchcraft to produce the footage so it's clear that it can happen fairly easily but I wish I knew the real cause. I can't simply just jump on "it Gamebryo" bandwagon because it tells you nothing but I doubt Bethesda (or even Sony) would ever share the cause with the public.
To the PS3 players posting here saying "LOL no problems here 90 hrs in!" how big is your save file?
haha, oh wow.
I checked, and all my quest-breaking bugs are already mentioned. Good job, community.
I see no problem with the PC version of Skyrim getting GOTY.
It's pretty insulting that in addition to not making a public statement about the issue, they list that the patch improves "occasional performance issues"
The fact is that PS3 players had no idea to know about this unless actually getting that far in and experiencing it for themselves. It's not mentioned in reviews, not reflected in scores, nothing. Also you'd think that the developers would know how bad it gets, I mean don't they playtest these things? They're the fucking developers. They need to be held responsible for this and they need to issue out an okay to retailers saying that if a customer tries to return the PS3 version because they can't fucking play it, to give them a full refund.
This may sound over the top and I tend to avoid making drama queen type posts, but I am pretty fucking disgruntled about it. It's true that I did know that the PS3 version wasn't quite up to snuff, but that the game was still playable. This video proves otherwise. So yeah I'm kind of upset that I paid the money for this game when I could have gotten something like Rayman Origins which is supposedly fantastic and is a game that you can actually play.
Sony are equally to blame. Doesn't every game get tested and given the OK by them? They knew it was a piece of shit but couldn't delay it and let Xbox have it all to themselves. I think people have a better shot bitching at Sony to get something done about this than to Bethesda who seem to be a bunch of incompetent money hungry fuckheads.
Am I the only one experiencing this on 360, as well? Not quite as bad as that video, but post-patch, I've hit a few points where the game becomes unplayable due to very similar stop-start insanity.

I don't know if you noticed in the article, but he specifically mentions a certain file-size. Once you get over that line, the game turns to shit after 30 minutes-1 hour of play. My main dude is level 52 with 95 hrs, discovered almost every location and 13mb save file...game turns to shit in an hour, sometimes more. Playing on a PS3 Slim, but I highly doubt that has any effect.

So, PS3 gamers are a bunch of spoiled children, who knew!?
Don't get me wrong, bitch about online passes and stuff. But don't bitch about getting "360 ports" because they don't match your magical expectation levels. The market has shifted: PS3 is a minority focus, just be glad you're getting some of the titles that the 360 gets and buy them. It seems like some people on PS3 simply don't do that because "LOL XBOX PORT!" :/
People throwing their arms up and whining and going "why aren't they supporting us!?" when they attempt to (even if poorly) is crazy.
Only started after the patch and after a long play session. So it hopefully is something I can fix by clearing the 360's cache. But, yeah, it made one encounter with three mages totally impossible. Was trying to act as a support healer to Lydia, but the insane stuttering meant that I couldn't aim at her at all. Ended up just having to run away (stuttering the whole time). Then it just randomly started stuttering while walking through the world, so I quit for the night. I'm hoping the cache clear will help. *fingers crossed*Actually some of my old friends from XBL were complaining about frame rates dropping after long play times. The difference is that on PS3 it can happen as soon as 5ish MB save file, on the Xbox I've heard that it takes like 12+ MB for the problem to start.
I'm doing what Stew says, and what I usually do with Bethesda games. I just wait for the GOTY version.
Skyrim on PC deserves GOTY. Period.
wow Betheshda have out done themselfs this time.
why was this issue not on the ps3 reviews for the game?
Because it's an issue that doesn't rear it's head until 60+ hours of play, it's unlikely many reviewers can dedicate that much time to a single game.

People will argue about anything apparently even defending poor development practice.
Companies desire a good reputation. It allows them to reach mega-sales of a product with very little reviews building up a hype-engine to even FURTHER increase sales through momentum.
**** At no point does a company desire to put out a $60 product which consumers get upset about. It harbors ill will and a poor reputation about their development staff and QA.
Bethesda screwed up and they internally cannot be happy about it and they certainly wouldn't enjoy people saying "Be happy with what you have!" like some arguments in this thread.
It doesn't happen constantly like the videos from eurogamer but man it still sucks. This is one of the first times I wish the next gen of consoles had come.
After close to 80hrs I've had issues with the 360 version. I get that stuttering stuff occasionally with it coming to a full hilt every once in a while before straightening back out. My save is at 13mb.

Yeah, a big red flag for me was the complete lack of any media of the PS3 version. I also remember seeing a video from the IGN PS3 channel were they had just gotten their PS3 copy(ies) in on the Friday the game released.I have a friend who works at a magazine, and they specifically requested the PS3 version to review as he only has a PS3 at home and wanted to see how it ran. They didn't oblige and only sent the 360 copy.
When he got his own PS3 retail copy, well......he wasn't happy after 30 hours or so.
No, he's not for real. It was a parody of this post by TheSeks.HOLY FUCK! Are you for real? WOW just WOW!

Wow. Even disregarding framerate, the game looks like absolute shit. I've been holding off on this game, until I build a new gaming rig. No way I get this for either console.
