Ok, I thought I was just running into some bad luck, but what is going on? My game is freezing at least 2-3 times a day in the loading screen, or at least not loading. The music still plays, smoke still drifts (or fog), and the object if there is one still can rotate but the game never loads. This happens anywhere randomly. Entering a city-home, entering a built home, entering a city, entering a fort, entering "Skyrim", reloading saved games....pretty much any time a loading screen is present, I've gotten to the point where it won't load.

This didn't happen to me too much before the patch and DLC, but now it is happening very frequently. I just went home for lunch so I could eat and play some Skyrim. Had the loading screen freeze on me twice in 20 minutes.

So I'll give some basic info.

• this happens for various characters
  
• savefile sizes right now are 8, 7, and 6 MB
  
• the characters are all different styles
  
• PS3 Model is CECHH01
  
• Playing time can vary from a few minutes to a couple hours before freeze
  
• PS3 is at nominal operating temperature
