After the entirety of the "Extended Cut" ending and pressing "A" when viewing the post-ending message, the screen goes black and nothing happens. The console remains responsive -- I am still able to access the XBox 360 menu and turning off the controller will result in the game requesting that the controller be turned back on -- but the game will not continue. As a consequence, I cannot save my Shepard for importing into another Mass Effect 3 run.
After an initial occurrence, I reloaded a save from within the London mission and proceeded to the end again, but the result was the same.
Has any other player experienced this issue?
Black screen after the conclusion of the Extended Cut ending.

Upon further investigation, I discovered that my second effort produced a viable "New Game Plus" save file usable for import into a new Mass Effect 3 playthrough (my first attempt did not do this). Thus, the issue is a minor annoyance to me (as I had no further content to explore after the conclusion of the game).

same issue as well, I have been looking through the forums, and there are many others with this issue, but no one at BW seems to be addressing it.

Well, I'm glad you got to at least play the game, see the bad ending, download the new endings, play multiplayer, download other new content, etc.... I have not been able to play the game at all since the Thursday after launch due to a black screen that pops up after I start the game. Can't even access the menu screen. Bioware has consistently avoided fixing the problem, is fine with stealing my money (and 100's of others mind you) and has delayed addressing it for months and months now. This company has turned to garbage after EA took them over. Good luck getting a response as customer/fan service seems to be very low on their priority list.

I just finished my first playthrough with the extended cut and was met with this as well. BioWare and EA support has been unhelpful.
Reading the boards, it looks like many, many people are experiencing some variant of this bug.
It would help to know what we've all done throughout the game, to try and identify a cause.
1) Did you use Gibbed, Lazarus, or another save editor?
2) Was the game imported from ME2? ME1 through ME2?
3) What ending did you pick?
4) Other things I haven't thought of...
I used Gibbed, with Lazarus to update my Bioware-failed headmorph, picked Synthesis, was 100% complete with all upgrades, etc, romanced Liara, imported back from ME1.
When the credits first start, I originally pushed B to skip them, only to be given the same prompt again. I pushed B again, and the credits skipped. After the credits and final prompt screen, I pushed A to get the black screen. Import ME3 game wasn't available, and one of the savegames was said to be corrupted.
On the second attempt, I let the credits play through in their entirety, and although I didn't get kicked back to the Normandy, I was able to import my ME3 save directly from the hidden endgame publisher save.

I've had the issue and DID use gibbed. I was forced to use Gibbed because Xbox Cloud saves corrupted my career and needed a way to get my game restored.
Since then I've had some thoughts about why I might be running into the issue (my posts are in the Gibbed edior topic in the romance sectin of ME3 forums.
Basically.... Don't use Modio to pull saves... use Horizon... if you're having a similar save game corrupted issue. Also, from what I can tell, the black screen is the loading point of a hidden save that's created before attacking TIMs base as you should be put back on your ship just before launching the attack (I had a non-modded save that loaded correctly after credits). If you some how "skipped" that part of the game, that save may not have been created to load in the first place. (this happened to me as I had to graft my career save to a "new game" save so I never truely played TIMs base on that career save. It's juts a theory and I haven't explored that issue.
If you follow my posts in the other thread I think it will make more sense as to what has happened to my game and may shed some light on this issue??
As a side note... I've been wondering IF this issue also comes up not from using Gibbed... but if you had a game that was played beyond TIMs base.... then added the extended cut DLC... then played the end game to see ending. Perhaps not replaying TIMs base with EC DLC is the issue?... as in, the game needs to make a special save game for EC DLC to load after credits???
One could test this by... loading a save post TIMs with EC DLC installed or removed and seeing if the black screen happens.... then trying pre TIMs saves, playing TIMs base with EC DLC installed and then seeing if the black screen happens.
The non-modded save I mentioned that did NOT black screen, was played with EC DLC installed AND was before I attacked TIMs base for the first time. (this was a new play through and had EC DLC installed from the beginning)... the only mid game change was adding in the Leviathan DLC.
I have had plans to test all this... but just haven't found the time yet.
