For the system, there's long-established, super-efficient factories making circuit boards and disc drives and flash memory that will end up going to all kinds of places. Computers, DVRs, consoles, whatever shiny new laser-driven product Apple comes out with.
How many uses do little rubber drum cymbals have? Nope, not really anything else. They need to mass-produce it, but they have a much smaller market they're selling to, so it costs more per unit to pay for those facilities.
And given that these here are premium controllers, with (allegedly) high-quality parts, the price seems actually pretty reasonable.

First of all, thanks for posting my radio on Gizmodo. I guess some people need some more "proof" that it actually is a radio. I used a 70s car radio that I made "waterproof" with gaffer tape (so the water in the cement wouldn't destroy the electronics. Then I made a box of wood with 2 holes in the front (car radio knobs can easily be removed). I made the three plug entries on the back (standard female audio plugs) and then simply poured wet cement over it. It wasn't that hard really... (and why would I post a cement radio that actually is not a radio)
I could make a video in which I turn the radio on so you can hear that it works, but I guess you private-eyes would most likely say that I'm cheating with the video as well ;-) Anyway, I'll post that later today on my blog.
I'm planning to create a few more.
Hope this gave some more insight,

At its most basic, you could reduce all pitches to one - essentially tapping out the rhythm on a single note.
Beyond that, you could add additional notes... 2, 3, and on up, scalable to an octave and beyond.
You could also have notes on the keyboard light up when they should be played, like a lot of "learning-oriented" synths already do.

in all seriousness though, who has money for all these peripherals for this game. I love RB2 as much as the next guy, or maybe even more, but cmon, $100 each? I'll wait to buy the set next Christmas when it's $150 for everything.

christ, please don't start in with the, "Not as great as my REAL blah blah blah". It's nearly as creepy and lame as someone saying, "Gah, I hate these stealth ninja games! These kiddy games will never capture the true feeling of wrapping a garrote around someone!"
Don't be that guy, guy.

Similarly, Burger Time ruined me for working at In&Out and I found Donkey Kong to be nothing like working on an actual construction site.

Furthermore, Mario Brothers does not present a realistic picture of what it's like to work for the Department of Water & Sanitation.

Also, neither Centipede nor Millipede show what it's like to be an exterminator.
