Bethesda's seven part S.P.E.C.I.A.L video series has officially come to a close. Today, the studio posted the video going over the Luck stat in Fallout 4, it had a good run but people should be well and truly prepared for Fallout 4 by now, which is just three weeks away.

S.P.E.C.I.A.L stands for Strength, Perception, Endurance, Charisma, Intelligence, Agility and Luck, all stats that make up your in-game character and effect things like abilities and perks. The seventh and final video in the series was made available today, explaining the Luck stat:

LUCK

Bethesda is done with this series and from what we know so far, there isn't anything new planned for the final weeks leading in to launch on the 10th of November. However, you never know, maybe next week Bethesda will be back with a new teaser, or a trailer.

Once Fallout 4 is finished, the development team will be moving on to the creation kit for mods and then moving on to DLC in early 2016.

KitGuru Says: Bethesda is switching up how stats and perks work in Fallout 4, so these videos are actually pretty entertaining to watch. Are you looking forward to Fallout 4? There's just three weeks left to go now…

Anyone of a certain age will remember the Baked Bean wars of the 80s, where rival supermarkets began all out war – based solely on the price they could achieve for a tin of baked beans. It got so bad that legal changes were made to try and prevent such a weird situation happening again. KitGuru has just had a very strange offer drop into the inbox, so we thought we'd share.

.
Could it be a tpyo?

Possibly, but unlikely.

The number of people that would be involved with such a major promotion – pushed out to a minimum of several hundred thousand Brits across the nation.

So what's the deal?

Well, essentially, it is a double-offer-combo. Something that happens a lot in the USA, but is quite rare in the UK.

There are many programmes/documentaries etc on the UK cable channels about American ladies who have Ph.D.s in voucher science. They create weird and wonderful combinations that – every now and then – lets them pick up more shopping than Popeye could carry – without handing over a single cent.

In the UK, we're much more fond of the line “Cannot be used in conjunction with any other offer”.

Dell has kicked that rule into touch – and combined a £75 cash back offer with a £100 trade-in deal to get you the magic price of £0.

Get your Dell printer for £0 - click this image to see how it can work for you

KitGuru says: Even if you believe Michael Dell to be the spawn of Satan, it's got to be worth looking at a decent network printer for £0, surely?

McAfee on drugs?

When we see the headline ‘McAfee on drugs', it's natural to assume that it relates to the security company's founder – who seems to have picked up a talent for production in the meth lab now that his creation is well and truly in the clutches of Intel. But we're talking about the company. Following a screen grab from a KitGuru reader at Xmas, we investigated and were duly shocked (by the story – there was no electrical fault).

Buy one of something and you pay a price. It's normally on the shelf or on a label attached to the goods. The product costs £x and you pay £x. Nice and simple. Everyone with us so far?

Good, because it's about to get dark.

Offer to buy (a) more than one of a product or (b) show your loyalty and faith in its creator by repeating your purchase – and you're into the land of ‘special deals and offers'. For the purpose of this expose, we're gonna focus on ‘b'.

One of our readers sent in a screen grab of a special offer that they have just received from McAfee (the security products company – now owned by Intel).

As an existing customer, they would be able to enjoy another whole year of McAfee's ‘full suite of protection software' for just £59.99 – a saving of £5.

But go to McAfee's site ‘fresh' and you will save £27.50 by purchasing the full suite for just £32.49.

The KitGuru team has evaluated McAfee's offer and you can see what we think by clicking on the image below.

As a loyal customer, you get a whopping £5 off the full suite. But new users can tug McAfee's shorts down for just £32.49 - that's a HUGE penalty of 85% for being a loyal customer. Worst offer in customer loyalty history?

.
KitGuru says: This is very nasty. The idea that a company can shaft existing customers by playing on their loyalty and trust is very bad. We hope that Intel and McAfee's marketing teams take note and vow never to repeat this unsavoury incident. Without the ‘£5 OFF' incentive for existing customers, it's bad – but WITH the special deal, it's tantamount to outright cheating, because it's designed to make a loyal customer think they're being treated in a special way.
