PS3 Skyrim lag issue to be fixed this month.

In news that will have all PlayStation 3 early adopters of Bethesda’s latest masterpiece, The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim, cheering and whooping for joy. The Company have stated that the issue of lag within the game will be addressed this month in the upcoming 1.4 update.
The PlayStation 3 version of Skyrim has had more than it’s fair share of issues since the game was released on November 11 2011. With a game the size of Skyrim some errors and glitches are given and can be accepted by the public, such as the famous backward flying Dragon but the sudden slow down of frame rate is a massive interruption to gameplay and in some cases has rendered the game totally unplayable.
From a personal perspective I have Skyrim for my PS3 and I have encountered glitches including a dog strolling on the bottom of a river bed, quests that cannot be completed, and serious lag, mainly when fast travelling to one of the bigger cities like Solitude or Whiterun.
Whilst Bethesda have not given an exact date on when the update will be released you can be certain that many PS3 players will be anxious to get their hands on it. You could also assume that Sony will be watching this situation very closely, they must of hoped that Skyrim would end their 2011 on a high after a damaging year for them but many people who own both Xbox and PS3 would have been put off buying the PS3 version because of the issues.
