I pretty much agree with Javierabagazo's thoughts, I think Bioware should listen to what Casey Hudson said in the GI interview, for ME 3 it's time to go big or don't bother. This is it, the end of the trilogy, time to make a CE that really stands out.
That said, what I do not want, is some overproduced, overpriced junk like what a lot of other CE's do. Halo and Call of Duty are franchises that are very guilty of this. They put some big shiny plastic object in their CE's, and that's it, the rest of the uber packages contents are what you'd expect in say a 70 to 80 dollar CE. Then they overproduce it and charge 150 bucks for it. 4 months later, you can find the CE's laying around everywhere for half price, and they aren't worth the powder to blow them to hell. I do not want this approach for ME 3.
Please god, make it limited enough so it's sold out by release. Whatever items they put in it, and if there is a big ticket item like a geth headlamp, reaper model, Normandy model, whatever, have a relatively low production run, don't just spam the market with them so they are worthless junk. Make it something special. Crysis 2 Nano Edition, Bioshock 1, Assassin's Creed 1 and 2, and both previous ME games mostly did a good job in this regard with thier CEs.
I'm not saying keep it so limited no one can get it or only have it available in certain territories, I hope everyone can have a reasonable chance to get one in all areas of the world, I just don't want a redux of Halo 3 Legendary or Dead Rising 2.
As far as contents, I've said my piece in numerous other ME 3 CE topics, but I have to say there are a lot of good ideas out there. I would rather see something more along the lines of the Witcher 2 AoK edition, where you get a lot of little things and a few higher quality items, but maybe not some huge item. On top of artbooks, BTS, OST, maybe an Avatar/PSN item and some exclusive themes, Patches, pins, materials that are replicas of in game items are always nice too, like a hardcover codex, or character's journal type thing.
If a bigger item is included, I'd rather see it added on top of something along the lines of Witcher 2's AoK edition, instead of a crappy Halo or CoD approach of taking a very lackluster CE, and throwing in a big item and calling it an uber edition. I understand that may mean a higher price point of say closer to 200 dollars or more, but I'd much rather have the quality.
If there is a large item, I do not want a weapon or helmet or something. Reason being, whatever you choose in that regard isn't going to fit at all with some people's characters. On my various characters, I don't play a soldier, I rarely use an assault rifle of any kind, I never wear the helmet unless it's forced in an outdoor setting, so why on earth would I want an N7 helmet or an Avenger Assault rifle or something in my CE? I am sure others feel this way too. I've no problem with a Reaper or Normandy statue, or even that Geth headlamp though.
