regarding the save transfer between ME2 and ME3, I believe that it will work on the same principle as ME1->ME2 transfer does. That will happen when the last story bridging dlc comes out. when you complete it, it will save a "special" transfer file with all your decisions. And those who won't have this dlc won't be able to import to ME3 because they haven't played the whole story. So, yeah, its unfair, I know, but that is how it is going to happen.
No. It's going to be like Dragon Age. Any save made after the "mission complete" flag is set can be imported instead of being linked to a specific end-game save.
Now, I'm in high hopes about getting the info or even possible release due to the Gamescom event tomorrow, but I guess they could just stick to the DA2 trailer...
This seems the most logical to me out of all the theories posted so far but that will still be complicated if you make multiple characters and they all complete a few missions after the story (all the DLC missions to be exact

) and it'll be difficult to distinguish between which is which.
To the person who mentioned that you load the save directly, I have a problem with that.
With regard to the end of Mass Effect 2, I made sure the first ending I did was the Paragon ending and then I changed the date on my Xbox to 2007 and did the Renegade ending (this way, if it works like Mass effect 1 I'll be able to distinguish between which save has which ending). But, since I did it this way, I never made a seperate save for my Renegade ending (as, I assumed, it would work like Mass Effect 1) and each playthrough I did the same thing (I put the save back by an extra year though for every save so I'd know which character was first, which was second, third etc.) so if it does transfer that way I'll lose half of the end game saves.
Honestly, I hope it works like Mass Effect 1 -> Mass Effect 2 but instead of loading the end game save, it loads the end game save and the character (so everytime you win the game, it saves like it does in Mass Effect 1 but then that save is updated with any additional missions done for that character).
