Mass Effect 3 ending tied up with Extended Cut - release date and details revealed

Remember that ludicrous situation earlier this year when Bioware apologised to fans about the ending of Mass Effect 3?
The development team were responding to waves of criticism about how the trilogy ended and vowed to “close the journey” properly. What an expensive cock-up, eh?
Well, that time is almost upon us. From Tuesday, June 26 Xbox 360, PS3 and PC owners of Mass Effect can download The Extended Cut, an expansion to the original ending. The DLC won't entirely replace the ending in Mass Effect 3, but just expands on it more and “reveals greater detail on the impact of player decisions."
Bioware says The Extended Cut will give players the answers they were asking for. Let’s hope so. Imagine if it’s rubbish again, there’s a mass of complaints and Bioware reveals The Extended Extended cut?
You can check out a Q&A about the whole debacle at the official Mass Effect 3 site.

I'm glad that BioWare is still sticking to its guns on the ending. Some clarity doesn't hurt, but I'm glad that nothing is really changing the core aspect of the ending. The ending was okay, but not great. Honestly, the journey to the end was the best part, which, I feel, was the point to ME3: the journey can outweigh the outcome. Especially since the whole thing has revolved around Shepard up to the end, there's really no point in dragging it on past when Shepard played altruist. I'm interested in the new depiction of the ending.

@2 I completely agree that the last few missions - "the journey to the ending" - were an incredible experience. The ending was "meh" to me - not awful, not great; but I too am curious to see where they go and what questions they CHOOSE to answer. Also, how the extra stuff will be implemented

The main reasons that I did not like the ending (and why people freaked out) is because it left more questions than answers, left the fate of everyone rather uncertain, didn't make complete sense, and MOST importantly it did NOT show the repercussions of your actions.
It sounds like it'll fix most of my major issues with the ending. All I want is some closure, some explanations, and to see what the future holds for the Galaxy after the many different decisions I've made.
SPOILERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SPOILERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It seems to me that people generally didn't understand why everyone hated the ending. Sure the whole god child thing was stupid, but the fact they didn't have an epilogue and decided to strand my crew on some random planet really did it. I wanted to know what would happen, not some mysterious cliff hanger. This is the end of the trilogy, after this game we will never see these characters agains.

Just beat it a few weeks ago and didn't understand the ending.
*Spoilers*
I mean essentially the Reapers are suppose to destroy the advanced races in the galaxy every 50,000 yrs, disappear, and let new civilizations evolve technologically and advance, then kill them all again. That makes no sense. The crucible destroys all technology and that's the end to Mass Rallies, Space ships, and automated dishwashers? That blows!
