Patience young Padawan, if I were from the UK/EU region I wouldn't even bother with making a pre-order from France as I am very confident it will come! Even THQ has confirmed it's coming and not so tight limited numbers either...well, not the CE. I'd be more on the look out for a l33t edition that could possibly pop up somewhere in Europe.
THQ needs/wants to maximise their profit so they're not about to restrict the CE into some ridiculously small numbers, they're not even numbered in the US...the only edition limited for release is the PC CE for whatever reason they have.
A more recent example of things coming a little later for pre-order in Europe is the highly demanding is 'NECA's Portal 2 Gun'. It was available for pre-order in Australia and Japan well before the US and Europe, and then it finally happened and everyone is almost happy.
