I like the PS3 controller better than the PC keyboard
Do I lose/gain anything by playing it on the PS?
still pricey though... 60 bucks

yes you lose stuff....you lose access to the 3rd party mods that make the game better...better graphics...smoother game play....the creation kit to make the mods
and do you realize there are ps3 type controllers that you can buy for PCs?

Get an XBox 360 wired controller and play it on your PC.
1. Unless they've fixed it, the PS version has a game breaking memory leak bug that kills the game after 50-60 hours.
2. Mods
3. Xbox controller has built in drivers with Windows Vista/7 and works flawlessly with PC

ABSOLUTELY DO NOT GET SKYRIM FOR THE PS3\
1) Terrible game bug where once your game file reaches 5mb the frame rate slowly drops as it gets higher until it actually gets to 0 FPS.
Non-fixable as per Bethesda. So NO do not get Skyrim for the PS3. I made that mistake and had to rebuy it for the PC because i couldnt do anything.
2) Game freezes on loading screens and when you restart the PS3 it corrupts a random save file.

Bethesdas games are pretty buggy and its only worse on console. My coworker had a lot of problems with corrupted saves on fallout new vegas on the 360.

good lord. if it's unfixable, they should be issuing full refunds to every single ps3 game owner.

If you're going to buy a controller, I recommend this
http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Xbox-Wireless-Controller-Windows/dp/B004QRKWKQ/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1324941561&sr=8-4
Works for up to 4 players 
Or if you already have a 360, just pick up the wireless receiver.

They are supposedly going to fix it in the next major patch. But yes if you can avoid playing it on PS3 I would say avoid it. I know I lag when I play... Once your save hits around 12MB it really starts to be a problem.

That's something that should have been fixed by day 2 of release. I'll also wager they knew about it, and released the game anyway. Thats why I won't buy anything from them till at least 6 months after release.

The difference is, then it was oops -- we have a problem...
Here there are smoking guns laying around that Bathesda KNEW they had a problem BEFORE they released the game and actively hid that fact from the public before releasing the game. If they dont fix Skyrim, they open themselves up to lawsuits etc -- so they are working harder on actually fixing the problem.

The problem comes down to this:
An Xbox has a big bucket... You can fill it up all the way consistently and you know when it will overflow and it is easy to plan for said.
The PS3 has two smaller buckets... They add up to the same amount of water storage as the Xbox. The problem is the spigot is mostly over one bucket and it overflows with the other bucket half-full.
Yes if you take care, you can balance the water between the two buckets but it is harder to do and if you do not plan you get the above.

I bought my Ps3 on release day, and I have been playing Skyrim since release day on it.... no problems whatsoever. my main save file is at 14mb and it gets a little laggy here and there but it is FAR from unplayable.

As I said -- like the frog in the water ... Since it gets worse slowly and each day is just a little worse than the last, people have a huge amount of ability to tolerate a problem that shouldnt be there.... Try loading up a new game (as your first action after you turn the machine on -- not after you had played with the other file) and you will see the difference.
