I'm also in Canada, and they already do throttle it (Bell/Rogers/Cogeco). Bell throttles your download speed during busy hours, and Rogers/Cogeco throttle your upload speed 24/7. I've gotten around it thanks to a feature offered by a reseller of Bell's lines. Not entirely sure how it works. It's called MLPPP, and I think that its usually used to bond 2 DSL lines together, but you can use it with a single line and for some reason clients aren't throttled when they have it enabled (requires a custom firmware however, eg. http://fixppp.org/). Who knows how long this will last though..

No, but the point is just that there are more keys, period. An example of how that could be useful, consider a shooter which allows you to carry more than 2 guns (although that has become the norm as of late, probably due to the rise in popularity of shooters on the console). You could easily use the number keys on the KB to select different weapons, whereas on a controller, you'd have to cycle through them. Also, leaning is pretty much non-existent on the consoles because of the lack of buttons.

I think its perfectly sane to compare the two. They're different hardware, but they share the exact same purpose: a control scheme for video games. You could argue that a KB has more purpose than that, but the same could be said about the controller as well.

Some games do.. like UT3 for PS3. However, there's something that's just not right with the controls. the mouse feels sluggish, probably because they didn't optimize the controls for a mouse. Very frustrating.

So how did 40 million WoW players get WoW running on their cellphones?
