Haven't even started ME3 single player because of this crap which should have been fixed before launch. Now I wont probably play the single player until they fix this ending snafu...I'm so confused.

Hey, at least it'll be free.
Assuming the ending doesn't completely destroy my will to live or ever play Mass Effect again, someday in the future when I do a straight-through 1->2->3 all-content playthrough this will hypothetically be nice to have.
Hah, that's kind of funny. I mean now they spend time on testing.
But to be honest I started to believe that they'd just leave it this way.
What's a certification? Release that thing through Origin this instant.
Bioware : "OK!"
K.Jack : "Yay, i got my ME1/ME2 face now, let's start a new game!"
*Cannot complete the Mars mission due to an unfornate new bug that wasn't found and fixed since there was no certification for the patch*
K.Jack : "Nooooooo"
Bioware : *Trollface.jpg*
Well, you do know that the game also has to go through the certification before its release? And yet there are still bugs.
Wow, I tried to recreate my ME 1 & 2 Shepard with the creator and Bioware really fucked up the noses and hair color.
Brown hair appears to be black and all the nostrils look like he has jawbreaker candy jammed up them...
I got all the other features really close to my original except the nose and evidently the hair looks brown in the creator but comes out near slick black...
I didn't think the face import was a big deal until I saw Bioware fucked up ME3's creator by excluding certain facial features/hair color(s)...

MS/Sony cert - if they kick the patch back due to issues, they'd have to fix and address them and resubmit. I'm guessing they're holding off on the PC patch because if they do end up having to fix something, they want the PC patch to get the same fixes.

Does it matter if I play ME2 through digital or disc? Because I can't find a new copy of ME2 around me

What platform?
PC should be fine, as far as PS3 I have no idea. I know that PS3 can be a little bitchy when it comes to saves in general. 360 and PC can migrate or edit saves relatively easily.
Yeah, even with the fix they're doing for the face import issue, it's not going to magically create new/edit current hairstyles, features and colors to match the ones that were in ME1/ME2.
if you don't wanna swap discs on 360, play PC. i don't recommend ME2 PS3 version cuz ME3 for PS3 is a mess so not worth importing to that.
Lucky for me the old hairstyle I used was included in ME3. I got my ME3 Shepard to be damn near spot on with my original Shepard except now he's a ginger, which looks good most of the time except in really bright sections... then he looks like Ginger Shepard... with candy jammed up his nose.
Yeah, eyes are noticably different on my Femshep too. Nose is a bit off too I think. I'm assuming ME1->ME2 imports did a straight import of facial geometry, and here they instead tried to match it to the closest features available in the editor.
I used the fix detailed earlier in the thread and my facial codes are mostly the same, they differ slightly in cheekbones, ear orientation and jaw width.

This patch you speak of, are we talking PC only or is it up for 360 as well?
PC so far I think.
I'm not perfectly sure, but it seemed like there was more than just "RED RED" available for example.

Wait so there's a patch to fix this issue coming soon for 360? I can finally play this game???
Is there a PR somewhere for this?

Mine is ok i guess, considering i've been using a ME2 code. Still are some differences.
ME2 :

Obama, is that you?
I should probably take some shots of Obama Shepard in the cool cutscenes of ME3, but im too busy playing the multiplayer and Xenoblade to bother playing him.
it's not about looking better, it's about being the character I made to play a role. If I wanted to play some linear shooter with a default protagonist I would fire up Gears of War. Mass Effect still resembles RPG even though they work hard on hiding this.
on topic: I think the shape of eyes is still the same but they removed some makeup and eyebrows are a bit different. Anyway my Shepard resembles himself/herself much more than all characters from previous games except Liara and Wrex so I'm not dissapointed.
It's already out on the 360 (and I guess PS3 as well)

Thanks!
I don't think the importer worked anywhere near as good as that of ME2's.
It imports a really weird-looking character, that after some minor tweaks has the potential to look like the imported character. However, it's still not at all like him.
Left: Import using the website method plus several tweaks.
Middle: Import using the game, with some minor changes.
Right: ME2.
The one I created with the website resembles my Shep more than the direct import.
