I can confirm that it is $85 because I had a dead pixel on my gamepad screen and sent it in for repair, they replaced it.

that's one pricey controller, so the Wii U warranty also covers the gamepad?

$85 seems like a bargain honestly, aren't new xbox 360 wireless controllers $60 (maybe they used to be) even if they are $50, that's only $35 more to add a beautiful touchreen in the middle.  btw I do not think they will even be that cheap if they do sell the gamepads by themselves at some point.

Yes, but those controllers cost about half that or even less to make. Controllers and accessories are very high margin items for publishers and retailers.
