[QUOTE=Raygun99]  
How is it even possible to buy “half the movie”? Shouldn’t it just automatically come as a set? Can I go to Amazon or some other retailer and just buy the second disc of Hamlet because I only want to see how it ends?

If you’re Netflix and you tend to buy 50,000+ copies of a new release, they’ll probably let you do it.

It turns out Hamlet’s dad is a ghost the whole time.

**Update:**

Netflix told me today they have fixed the error and are sending both Disc One and Two on Monday.

I’ll let you know what actually happens.
