Free upgrades to a higher version number (like 4.0 to 5.0, as opposed to 4.1 to 4.2) is often an indicator of a problem within the software that the vendor is very eager to not be a problem anymore. I would recommend checking out other DVD software. If you still have issues, it's possible that the drive is defective. I wouldn't let this reflect negatively on Sony, though, as the DRU series is regarded as one of the best out there.
