    .....We don't have part 2

    ADVERTS 1
    Now for all that are not happy with Blockbuster, you should really like this one. I received the new version of The Andromeda Strain. When I pulled the disc out of the package, I noticed it stated "Part 1." Well, OK, maybe something???? Well, it WAS only part one. An E-mail to support got me an answer the next day. They only have part one! They will see if they can get part 2. Nothing like watching 1/2 a movie.

    I had exact same thing happen to me with Netflix. I was unable to figure out a way to order the second half.
    Don't remember the name of the movie. Probably it wasn't too good: I guess not too many people watched it through the entire first half to notice that the second part was missing...

    Yup, it was the newer Moby Dick. I did the same thing. I finally waited until they aired it one night, and got both parts.

    The main cause for only one part showing up is blockbuster movie pass is only one DISK at a time. There are various ways to remedy the situation such as upgrading to at least two disks at a time or separately rent part 1 from blockbuster and part 2 from netflix.

    That wouldn't have worked for the Op as he stated that blockbuster doesn't have part 2 in stock.Also wouldn't have worked for the streaming as they didn't have part 1.Clearly an issue that blockbuster should pay closer attention to.

    I don't think I've tried to rent a 2 disk movie since using Blockbuster but I did rent the Godfather movies when I still had Netflix. At least one of them is a two disk movie but Netflix included both disks and counted it as 1. I would hope blockbuster would do the same thing when they actually have both parts.
