As for which retailers will be carrying ME3 and the Collector's Edition, when we have more information, we will let people know. In the meantime, check with your favorite local retailer and tell them you want your ME3 Collector's Edition. 

Will we also get advance information what language versions will be available, i.e. will the German version of ME3 also come with an English audio track? Just want to be sure so that I can pre-order the proper Edition... 
Those are multi-lingual version on sale in europe. They will contain both german and english audio. French, italian, etc. also.
And that is imperative, because the synchronisations and translation in german are just plain horrifying to the point that it hurts, literally! Because when I first played ME, it was in german and I found the audio to be awkward. Then I switched to english and it was a whole other dimension. When ME2 came, and I saw videos of the german version (and some scenes from ME1 in german too), I literally facepalmed so hard sometimes it actually hurt. It is THAT aweful.
So, if ME3 would come localized only, I'd be making a list, A list containing translators, voice actors and the like. And those people would not wish to be on that very list!
Because, for all intents and purposes, I am a Grammar-Fascist. I revel in exact expressions, I live on subtlety. And if I get a game that slaps abominations of said in my face, I WILL retaliate.
Good thing that is not the case!
