Multi MB save issue has not been fixed, it has been moved from the previous 6 MB threshold to 11 - 12 MB threshold now. That means that usually the symptoms only start appearing after 100+ hours of gaming (depending on how much you explored the game, how many items you have stored, etc.). After the game becomes "cluttered" in random point data stored in the save file, it becomes slower to read thus the lag.

It's a memory issue that has not and will not be adressed for the PS3 version unfortunately (Fallout New Vegas suffered from a similar bug too), but recent patches have made sure that you can at least get a full playthrough decently.

If that is the case, that is unacceptable. Chances are if its a good RPG I will pour a hundred hours into it like any good rpg before it. How are you sure they will not eventually fix this problem?

Mostly because it's a memory leak problem, thus they can only remend it as they go along but never fix it entirely (same happened with New Vegas). With patch 1.4, it seems some memory optimization has been issued (save files are much smaller, mine went from 21 MB to 13 MB on PC), but the memory leak problem for the PS3 is still there ( http://news.softpedia.com/news/Skyrim-Patch-1-4-Gets-New-Details-and-Changelog-Release-Date-Still-Unknown-247737.shtml ).

@Turkish - Can't disagree with you there. It's Bethesda's fault for not adressing an issue they've been having on every game they release for the PS3 using the Gamebryo engine, so you have every right to get a playable version by any means necessary after having been "cheated" on a faulty one.
