I didn't mean to kick up a hornets nest here, but as others have pointed out, the lack of information coming out of ED is very frustrating for people wishing to purchase this game (me being one of them).
Stormin -- i took your words literally, when my impression was that ED always intended FL to be released to the western market. Releasing a game only to a select country isn't some thing i've come across yet. Certainly cuts down on your potential revenue.
