i hope they solve it before advanced warfare predownload is available as at this rate, its take at least a week to download compared to a few hours at my usual speed

Is the preload not available already? get it from the US store for €47

Yes you can, get a powerline adaptor, I got a tp link one from amazon but pc world sell them as well. You will see a huge improvement in download speeds. I was getting about 2-3mbps over wifi, it's usually about 30mbps now.

I have had years and years of crappy internet with my PS3 and now my PS4. Everything else worked great but for some reason those two have terrible connections that keep dropping. Even the PSP and Vita gave me good stable connections. I was getting between 20-40 kb/s download of PS4 but 2 Mb upload on PS4 and it was basically unusable.

Anyway near 10 years later I fix the problem. Router was outputting 802.11g/r/n. Forcing it to 802.11g fixed everything. Really fecking annoyed it took me so long to figure out.

If I download call of Duty Advanced Warfare from the US psn Store will I have any issues playing it here?

There is a 28 euro saving to be made over buying it in Xtra Vision.

Gave Share Play ago with mate I am currently in Qatar and he is in Ireland... I could not connect to him but he got on to connect to me seems like an awesome feature...

Anyways I have another issue, is it possible for me to backtrack games on a PS+ account in which my brother didn't bother to go download the free games?... I don't see why I shouldn't be able to download games that where free on PS+ during the subscription time... I can only seem to download this months free games and nothing else...

Quick question, if I replay a game from scratch. Will the final trophies change on the PSN? Or is it a case that once you've played a game, the trophies you get the first time won't change even if you replay it?

You can only earn trophies once. No matter how many replays.
Unless of course you use a different PSN ID on subsequent plays.

I'm currently downloading the metro games, both are about 9gb's each and that's the figure they start at, but shortly after download begins that value drops to a little over 3gb's each...what the heck is going on there?

The only way this happens if the game was originally on PS3 and was made on PS4 also and you plan to reply it from scratch on PS4, otherwise your answer is no.

This would then list the game twice in your trophies and the trophies earned on the same game with a denoted PS3 game/PS4 game title and both trophies may be the same earned but count as two.

the ps4 has changed it to 3gb to tell you it only needs 3gb to start playing it and will download the rest while you play.

Ahhh, gotchya, I didn't know that that was how it worked.

You won't lose any trophies but each time you play you can unlock new ones that you've not gotten yet.
