Unfortunately WiiU does not support DVD or Bluray playback, at least not without hacking the console.
You can ofcourse watch the digital copy on the gamepad. I must have hundreds of digital movie vouchers from blu-ray, haven't tried it once though.

I still have a huge dvd collection, although I have upgraded my top 50 so far. DVD looks so dull color wise, image stuttering from 3:2 pulldown conversion, some with interlace problems and 4:3 letterbox versions of 2.35:1 movies, that's less then 360p you tube quality.

4K tvs will probably push blu-ray as well. With a decent upscaler blu-ray on 4K will blow 5 and 10 mbps HD streaming out of the water.
Blu-ray has only recently reach mass consumer prices, they can be had for as low as $60 now. Why keep buying dvds indeed.

Didn't Sony also have the first 4k TV at some outrageous price?

Yes, theirs is $3000 currently (XBR-55X850A). They also had the first Full 4K projector (VPL-VW1000E) which is still outrageous at $25k and have a 4K player (FMPX1) running with 40GB downloads of 4K movies for $700.

You can also already get a 4K tv for $770 and an upscaling blu-ray player for $198.

$3000 for a 4K TV? Last I checked it was more expensive. Good. Price dropped.
