After installing the latest PS3 patch, the game has been intermittently freezing upon loading a save (location: Whiterun House), during the transition/loading screen leaving that house into Whiterun proper and during the transition/loading screen when attempting to enter Arcadia's shop.

I haven't had the opportunity yet to see if this continues to occur in other locations. Had to reset the system after each freeze. It might be worth noting that the music continued to play, but the object and mist animations were frozen, no amount of waiting resulted in any changes.

I've also noted that the 'soul tap' animation that happens with a weapon thusly enchanted does not occur with the Bound Bow (haven't tested it with Bound Sword or Bound Great Axe). Is this a bug or is this intentional? If intentional, why did you guys choose to leave it out?

Thanks
