Check the DVD surface for any scratches.

Return to shop for another copy.

Sounds weird. CRC error isnt that unpacking problems? Wich definatelly can come from a badly burned DVD or scratches etc. Maybe the DVD ROM update but that sounds - weird.

Hopefully someone knows more. Dont give up buddy. Keep checking this thread. ;)

And welcome!

CRC is a data integrity check. Basically it means that the file in question didn't unpack properly.

Usually a different DVD drive (if available) or even a firmware update for your current DVD will get it working. Some drives seem to have problems reading the copy protection

Goto the Sony website and search for your firmware for that model. Download it and flash it.

If that doesn't work, try copying the files from the DvD to a folder on your hard drive then install it from there.
