Is there any PS3 workaround to get rid of the bard's quest items?

i got it on xbox as well. I've also got quests listed as being still active on my menu even after I've completed them.

I don't care, except it makes looting less efficient. I would be fine with them reducing the weight to 0 of course

They don't count against weight allowance, so no in-game effect, merely really annoying.

1.4 change log only says : "Finding Pantea’s Flute before speaking with Pantea no longer prevents her quest from updating." Nothing about removing the items.

Interesting that they have a weight, but don't count. I have not tried to count up all my item's weight to confirm that, but it's good if true

I did test that by putting all my stuff into a cabinet. Only quest items remained. You're 100% correct, no quest item counts against weight even if it has a weight shown. Well, that's "weight" off of my shoulders, heh

Ah the old quest item bug, its present in most recent Bethesda games, like some of the other posters said it doesn't add any weight to your carrying capacity, its just bloody annoying.

I don't have a lot to complain about when it comes to Skyrim, but it would be nice for us Xbox users to be able to force some of these items out of our inventory. (X) - drop item... "are you sure, this is a quest item?". Yes, please, I'm tired of scrolling past it already and I know for a fact that I'm never going to need it again!!
