They're not screwing you over. PS3 has a hardware problem/limitation. You've probably heard it already but PS3 has a memory problem/limitation due to the way Sony laid out the PS3's memory. They split it instead of making it a single/shared chunk like the Xbox 360. Bethesda's hands are tied if the console doesn't have the resources to handle the game. It's not just about computing power. You've got to have the storage/scratch space to track all the information going on in the game world and Skyrim, being a vast open world where you can go anywhere and do anything you want, has to keep track of a lot more information than any other title out there.
