Shepard Import Bug

Some faces cannot be imported into Mass Effect 3. In this case, you will have to choose a default Shepard or create a new one.
This bug occurs when the imported character's appearance is from a Mass Effect (1) save. If your Mass Effect 1 Shepard's appearance was altered in any way in Mass Effect 2, however, the Shepard will be importable.Source: IGN
Bioware has provided a fix for Shepard face generation in the PC version of Mass Effect. Access the PC fix here. A fix for Xbox 360 version is in the works. Source: IGN

Cloud Save Files
EA has confirmed that Mass Effect 3 does not accept Mass Effect 2 saves imported from the cloud on Xbox 360. Local save files which have been moved across consoles via the cloud are also unusable. Source: IGN
Players hoping to transfer a ME2 save file via the cloud onto a new Xbox to play ME3 must transfer the save file back to the original hard drive. In order to use a ME2 save file, players must move the save file back onto the original Xbox 360, and then transfer it manually onto the new Xbox, either via USB or using a transfer cable. Local save files which have been moved across consoles via the cloud are also unusable. Therefore, players without their original hard drives will encounter some problems, as there is no way to recover your save file.
However, if you still have ME2 laying around and have transferred your save file to a new machine (Via cloud or other method), there is a way to get your character to import. Start ME2 and load your last saved game. Then create a NEW SAVED GAME, which will then be local to your hard drive and allow you to import your character into ME3. Tested and working on a PS3.

The Little Mermaid - Official Teaser Trailer
Check out the teaser trailer for The Little Mermaid, the upcoming live-action reimagining of the animated musical classic. The film stars Halle Bailey as Ariel, Daveed Diggs as the voice of Sebastian, Jacob Tremblay as the voice of Flounder, Awkwafina as the voice of Scuttle, Jonah Hauer-King as Prince Eric, Art Malik as Sir Grimsby, Noma Dumezweni as Queen Selina, Javier Bardem as King Triton, and Melissa McCarthy as Ursula.

While mermaids are forbidden to interact with humans, Ariel must follow her heart. She makes a deal with the evil sea witch, Ursula, which gives her a chance to experience life on land, but ultimately places her life – and her father's crown – in jeopardy. The Little Mermaid, directed by Rob Marshall, opens in theaters nationwide on May 26, 2023.
