I just saw a thread on the Bethesda Software website about a patch having been released either late last night, or early this morning. The thread is titled
Update 1.1. This thread was started by a new member to the community, and I looked around a bit and I couldn't find a more 'official' post on this matter. I know that many PS3 users got Update 1.1 sometime back in the middle of December. Has anyone playing this on the PS3 been prompted to download a new update yet?
