Mate. Shipping's insane. I haven't found an American online store who sells the Rock Band Special Edition, and is willing to ship internationally ... simply because it is heavy as!
If you are desperate, you can purchase it off ebay:
Warn ya though ... shipping's $120!

This will be a game I'll wait for an Australian release. EB Games shows it as June 2008 atm

I found a guy on Ebay who claims he imported at USD $281 including 4 to 5 day shipping. He was charging AUD $5 to get the info out of him so I figured I would give that a shot. (At least if he doesn't come through its only a fiver) I am awaiting that info at the moment.

Wutang,
I have been thinking about waiting too but I look at reports that the price may hit $300 for the bundle anyway. I have taken a bit of a look on Ebay and scouring the net as well and I can see that the following prices can be achieved...
drum kit can be imported from Ebay for about AUD $140
Microphone....any USB apparently works but Logitech have one at AUD $40 listed on their website.
Game itself can be imported at AUD $57
That gets me to around $240 without the guitar (pity GH3 guitars dont work) because I would jump at that price in a flash.

So what are you planning? To buy the Special Edition from an American ebay seller now?
Or purchase the game only and buy the parts piece by piece?
Edit: I'm also worried about the ability to purchase downlodable-content from the American PSN for the game ...

Hmm, interesting ...
Game Only: USD55.95 (+USD7 for shipping) www.estarland.com/
Guitar: USD?? www.amazon.com/
Drums: USD64.99 www.amazon.com/

Does not matter as long as your TV can handle NTSC and lets face it, most TV's now days can handle both NTSC and PAL.

as long as you have a TV that was made in the last 5 or so years it should do NTSC and PAl fine
