The framerate problems have been addressed.

Update: We learned today that the patch for PC and Xbox 360 will go live this Wednesday. This is a current ETA for the patch, and we will update if things change. The original story follows:

Since launch, PS3 owners have been encountering difficulties with The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Framerate issues and other problems have been plaguing Skyrim players since launch but it seems that the patch that was promised last week is now live.
