Couldn't see other reports by searching so I'll launch a new one.

Ever since patch 1.2 on the playstation 3 Skyrim has been occasionally hanging. Typically it occurs in arbitrary occasions when the game attempts to load a new location.

The effect in loading screens: The game perceptibly "does nothing" and the rotatable model on screen is stuck for up to ~5 minutes until it finally recovers and continues to load the game. Music continues to play (it's obviously running in a separate thread).
The load screens recover just fine if you're patient enough to wait. Most people probably just turn off the box when this occurs and try again.

Obviously there's some code being executed in a loop somewhere which takes a long time to recover since the game is not svck forever but it can be stuck for a long time.
Today the game hung in mid gameplay forcing me to turn off the system as I didn't have the patience to wait if it would self-recover. Again, music would play, but the game itself appeard stuck.

I hope the next patch fixes this problem.

My save is around 11 megs, been playing for ... a long time
