I did experiments on this recently. Having it vertically caused the bottom portion to be cooler after 2 hours endurance race in GT5. My theory is that the bottom part touches the surface of the table it's on, heating the table up. The table retains some heat, but also gives some back to the plast of the ps3. This in turn results in a hotter bottom surface.

Unfortunately, I couldn't learn how the actual internal components are affected (vertically or horizontally). All I do know, is when I put it vertical, my BLU-Ray drive makes weird noises, comparet to relatively silent in the horizontal position.

So....i'm keeping it horizontal now, but I don't like how the bottom part gets hot. I laptop cooling pad would probably be the best bet (as long as it's completely horizontal)

Looks like you should just play the PS3 version. May God have mercy on you.

haha, thanks. I'm leaning towards this advice. Its also funny how I'm finding people who are also in my situation. I was actually suprised Skyrim even ran OK on my laptop, considering it's 2 years old. I can't even run GTA IV and i actually mee their "recommended requirements"

[QUOTE="BrunoBRS"]if it runs smoothly on medium, then laptop.Diviniuz

On medium settings on my laptop, it runs at about 15-20 fps, but consistently. On low, its really really bad

what AA are you rocking out?

no, AA is off. I basically chose "medium" and had to turn off AA and all reflections

PC You would have to be crazy it to buy it on PS3, Obsidion pretty much confirmed the game won't even be fixed on PS3. Use your Ps3 for exclusives not multiplatsgrassotall

As I stated in the original post, I already have them both for ps3 and pc. I got them as gifts. I just don't want to waste 60 hours of my life by gettting lagged out by the PS3. But, at the same time, my PC runs it on medium at around 15-20 fps and it looks like crap relative to my ps3 version

you should just skip on the game and not touch it till March next year, should be $19 by that time and you'll know the game hopefully will be patched up, in my opnion i would say skip it as a whole and dont even play it

If you read my original post, It says that I got them both as gifts. I have them both. I even tried them out, and gave you information on how they looked. look at my original post

Let me start by saying, please honest opinions on which will give a better experince, lets keep this friendly.

My pc is a 2 year old Toshiba laptop, 512 video card, 4.00GB ram, Intel Core 2 duO CPU 2.00Ghz.

I have skyrim for both PS3 and PC (i got them both as gifts). I can only play Skyrim on medium settings on my PC

After playing both for 10 minutes, this is my conclusion:

Ps3: better lighting, better colors, smoother movements and better FPS

PC: washed out colors, choppy movement, bad fps, lower textures (medium settings)

Now is the PS3 version really as bad as everybody says? Would it save me time to just play on PC and avoid all the problems that people are talking about?
