It's not a difficult process to understand, but it's clearly a process that doesn't work. There is no substitute for going out and actually trying these consoles out. You can't just sit at home googling everything in the hope you'll find your answer, because like you said yourself, there's just so many posts, and the end result will still be a 50/50 lol. People need to stop relying on Google, and actually go outside and try things for themselves.
