Mass Effect 2 (Trilogy) PS3 - Overlord Bug Crash

Purchased the ME Trilogy for PS3 recently. Finished ME and imported to ME2. Currently doing Overlord Mission and when I start walking towards the entrance of the satellite dish array (with the geth coming from out of the door) my PS3 crashes. I've checked the forums about the Overlord bug crashes, but it only happens in the PC. I've already replayed ME2 many times and it is only now with a character played from the ME (trilogy) that I'm experiencing this bug.

During the gameplay I only have Tali and Grunt / Tali and Jack. I've read that having Tali and Legion or even having Legion in the squad can make the game crash. On this playthrough, I have yet to acquire Legion as part of the team and I've already done all the loyalty missions. I have yet to do Overlord, Arrival, Shadow Broker and a couple more assignments before the Omega 4 final mission.

Has anyone encountered this bug in the PS3? Please advise. Thanks in advance.

    Strange that I'm replying on my own topic.

    Alright, after a few hours of reinstalling ME2 and all related content I managed to get my saves and start the Overlord DLC missions. Still, I encountered a crash when going to the dish in Hermes station, but at the very least I managed to mount the stairs. So, I thought it over, what if I just skip killing the geth at the ground level of the satellite dish and proceed upstairs where the real mission begins.

    So, after contemplating on it and a good night's rest, I booted the game once more at the entrance of the Hermes station dish and just ran up the stairs. The game progressed soon after that. I believe that my (fat) PS3 couldn't handle the AI computation or graphics during the fight sequence on Hermes and by simply skipping it entirely also allowed me to skip the crash.

    I'm going to update this thread just to see if there are still some other unrelated bugs on Overlord.

    Here I am, 5 years later and I'm currently experiencing this very same issue. This is my first ever playthrough of the Mass effect series. I'm trying to enter the dish (walking down the ramp to the entrance) and I can almost get inside before the system crashes. Hopefully I can employ a similar strategy and get on with my life haha...
