That Digital Foundry comparison is *much* better than the CVG video. Clearly displays the lag in all its post-patch glory.

Lag and Framerate are entirely different things, although they may look the same. Lag is associated with the internet and the connection from you to who ever your connecting to.

People need to learn the difference between LAG and Frame-rate issue

The 120+ hours on my game and great time I've had tell me that the PS3 version is not an unplayable mess. Before the patch, I could save/quit/continue and fix the lag problem for a couple of hours. After the patch, the only lag I've seen are little hiccups while the game autosaves. The only other glitches I've experienced in all that play time are a few quests that won't disappear from my log even though they're done and one stationary dragon high in the sky. Hardly an unplayable mess.

Wait, you're disappointed that the ps3 version is the only one with this problem?? Lol so you'd have been pleased in PC and 360 owners were suffering along with you? Wow. How selfless of you, wanting to share and all.
Tell you what, you can keep this exclusive to ps3, we don't mind but thanx for offering
