Assuming that EA and BioWare announce a collectors edition at E3, what should the contents be?
Obviously the game, but *shudders* Day 1 DLC (including weapons pack and character skins), bonuses for the Mako, art book, and digital download for the soundtrack.
Just please, no retail or platform exclusive pre-orders bonus.
A harbinger action figure.
For ME:N?
Hmmmm, maybe a scaled down model of the Tempest? Ya know, maybe 1"-2" ? Maybe up to like 5".
An art book... I'd really like to see how they are improving the game with FB3, but I don't really think that can be put into a book that most people except for super geeks can understand. And the funny thing? I'm not even a super geek. But I do have some very limited knowledge about programming, etc. So, I'd just love to know how they did it.
Obviously exclusive in-game gear (as they've always done with ME Collectors Editions).
But if they wanna go big, probably include a 1x1 model of the new Mako scaling some uphill terrain or sitting pretty on some alien landscape.
How should I know what should be in CE if I don''t even know what's in the game?
Ah, anyway, I still think ship models are cool. If they have a cool new ship for the PC (and I am sure they will), than I am all for a ship model.
Usually I don't collect any of that sort of stuff (not the action figure kinda guy) but I do have a little Normandy sitting a shelf somewhere.
Cerberus armor. 
Cerberus casual clothing
Varren pet to follow the main character around on the ship
a holographic VI that sounds like Harbinger
A 5-6" diecast model of the ship would be nice.
Otherwise, I usually prefer in-game items. A set of weapons and armor for the protagonist and the party are always great. Casual outfits are also pretty cool. Pets I don't really care too much about unless they go into combat with us (like the Mabari in DA2), but I wouldn't be against their inclusion.
FULL SCALE STANDARD AR! 
Seriously though, I'd be happy with just a steelbook case and maybe a Codex. I think my own real life physical Codex to read would be cool.

Humans' organic paste?
I would likely be interested in a small scale ship model collectable or some exclusive behind the scenes dvd. I don't know, I don't really go for CE games.
Also not as interested in 'exclusive' in game content since it's easy enough to mod in, that it doesn't really equate to spending more money on a physical product.
Alternate armour and casual gear for the protag (and preferably the team too!).
A pet! Maybe a varren? Or even just a combat drone? Space bunny? Mini Thorian? 
I'm not bothered about real-world items, but I'd love more stuff in-game to add to my character's customisation.
Model of Shep being rescued from rubble prison.
Either a replica of the new helmet or a model of the new ship and mako.
Collectors?
We could make it like a special edition.

A handwritten apology for what went down in Mass Effect 3.
I never buy Collector's Editions so my input really doesn't count. Action figures and such just don't interest me.
I'd buy one if it included something like the World of Thedas lore book. And some cool stuff that you can actually use in game.

That's the best idea I have seen on BSN. Well played.
There's 3 mandatory things:
-Hardback artbook (not a shoddy PDF)
-Soundtrack on CD in at least a jewelcase (so not in a cardboard leaflet, and not some "digital download")
-The game itself.
Ideally, a metalcase with specific notches both for the game disc and the soundtrack CD.
Maps are more for fantasy games, and even then, only if they correspond to the ingame map and are made of cloth instead of glossy paper with folding lines all over. (The early Ultima games got it right!)
A diecast figure or vehicle model would be neat, but isn't really necessary in my opinion.
PDF artbooks and soundtrack downloads have no place in a Collectors Edition. They're stuff for Digital Deluxe version.
DLCs, I'm fine with those. Really, I have no problem with a day-1 DLC being included in the special versions, while made available for sale to owners of the regular versions. Provided the DLC is not cut content, but really optional additional content. (This was done right in the Dragon Age and Mass Effect games so far, the games did work perfectly without those DLC's, I found no cases where DLC content was referenced or required to proceed through the storyline.)
