Well it’s no secret that I absolutely love the trilogy, I just hope they will change the ending as that last one was not okay.
Electronic Arts said yesterday that an 'HD title' will be announced, and the word on the street is that it's Mass Effect.

Didn't they "fix" the ending of ME3 with DLC? This is one of the things that has been keeping me from playing ME3; I want to play a definitive version of the game, don't want to mess with the hassle of buying the game piecemeal and dealing with DLC packages.
I finally finished Mass Effect 2 a week ago. Steam version. By god it's a pain trying to play that game now that EA has completely changed the way their DRM works, and abandoned support for all their DLC. I get a popup message every time I start up the game telling me, essentially, that I don't have the right to play all of the content I own for it. And if I try to boot up my save, the game refuses and explains that my savegame is dependent on the DLC, therefore I do not have the right to open my save file.
Eventually "fixed" it, but the end result is that I had to create an account with EA's store, and type in my credentials in-game EVERY time I boot up the game, after clicking through all the "you don't have the right to play your own game" popups that show up. And the icing on the cake is that the login window does not support cut-and-paste, so I have to manually type in my password, which is a randomly generated password that is NOT fun to type in and has me tabbing back and forth between my password manager and the game window over and over again. And the game doesn't save these credentials, if I close the game and start it up again, I have to go through the same nonsense, every single time I play. Which is why I more or less abandoned the game for a year. tl;dr: EA deserves all the hate it has ever received, and then some.
Anyway I liked Mass Effect 2 overall, although the ending was very "Empire Strikes Back" in the sense that it more or less amounted to the main characters staring out of a spaceship window and a tone of "Stay Tuned for The Next Game!"
ME3 went on sale pretty close to the time I finished ME2, and I think I probably went to the EA store website on three separate occasions, hovered my mouse over the "purchase" button, and said "nah."
If EA releases a remastered trilogy as a complete standalone no-nonsense package, with all the DLC built in, I'll probably buy it, because I'd like to finish the series.
