Part 1. Does PS4 Play DVD and Blu-ray Discs?

Does PS4 play DVDs and Blu-rays? The answer is positive, you just insert the disc, and then select the DVD movie content from the content area. But your PS4 system must enable the disc playback feature over the Internet, one time only, before you can play any BDs or DVDs. After this feature is enabled, your PS4 system doesn't have to connect to the Internet to play BDs or DVDs.
