I updated my ps3 to the 4.0 update that was released, now, when i load my save in skyrim it runs for 5 mins max before freezing. I am forced to turn off the system without letting it shutdown properly. When i turn the ps3 on again, i get a message saying "your hard drive may be corrupted." I can close this message and everything is fine. This has happened 6 times in a row now. It's a relatively new, 250gb slim btw.

The game has many, many technical problems. Cross your fingers and hope Bethesda manages to patch it.

as said above the game does have a lot of problems at the moment. try starting a new game and if it doesnt freeze then the problem is the game save. if it is your game save you will have to wait until another patch is out that hopefully fixes whatever is crashing your game at your save point

Started having the same thing. Froze twice yesterday, & once over the weekend. I wouldn't mind too much, but the console has to check/restore the file system every time Skyrim crashes now, & I've never seen that before in the 3 years I've had my PS3.

The guys who made New Vegas say that it isn't ever going to work...on the PS3 at least. Sawyer said there's a problem with the way the engine works and the way the PS3 splits it's RAM.

welcome to one of the reasons that the user score on metacritic has been plummeting http://www.metacritic.com/game/playstation-3/the-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim its just a broken mess right now (freezes all the time for me as well on a brand new ps3)
