And now, for a general warning about Youtube. While there is a *lot* of good technical tutorials on Youtube, anyone can upload any video they want and as long as it doesn't violate copyright or cause offence to other users, Google make no attempt to vet any video. To give an example (no links or names as I don't want to give the guy any publicity as I believe he is a scam artist) I have watched various videos on one channel, all claiming to give you a faster connection, computer or better console. In the case of the connection, IIRC, his advice was essentially change the colour of your ethernet cable. In the case of the console upgrade, he showed methods for apparently installing the Xbox One firmware on an Xbox 360 and the PS4 firmware on a PS3, and claimed this would allow you to play XBone games on your 360 and PS4 games on your PS3, totally ignoring the fact that the architecture of each console has gone through some fairly radical changes from 360 > XBone and PS3 > PS4.
