With exclusivity these days being less and less common, the biggest remaining argument in the Sony vs. Microsoft camp comes down to graphics. If you haven’t played Fallout 3 yet and are debating whether the DLC is worth a less impressive visual experience, the scales have just been tipped in Microsoft’s favor.

A patch for the Xbox 360 version of the game is bringing the graphics closer to the level of the PC and PS3 versions of the post-apocalyptic role playing game. The patch brings specular maps  to certain textures of the game. In layman’s terms the patch makes lighting reflect more off the various creatures you encounter and makes the NPCs you talk to look a lot more lifelike. The PS3 still has an advantage as a few specular effects won’t be integrated with the patch and the more powerful console still features higher resolution textures.
