Sixteen More Episodes From Season Two: About Six Hours For A Half Season Price
Admittedly, I was extremely critical when A&E switched marketing tactics midstream in its releasing of Storage Wars. The first season was released in a full DVD set. But the next release was branded Volume Two and only consisted of the first fourteen episodes of the second season. In truth, though, I have nothing against the idea of volume releases (especially for shows that aren't held together by continuing plot threads) as long as three things are clear:
1) They need to be priced according to content and no more expensive individually than a season set would be.
2) Don't start releasing Full Seasons and then confuse unsuspecting buyers by changing things up.
3) If it isn't a season, all content needs to be disclosed on the DVD packaging so the consumer knows what they are getting!
While Volume Two of Storage Wars disappointed with rule number two, its most egregious error was also disregarding rule number three. Nowhere, in any of the marketing...

We have never been big fans of reality TV but we caught a couple of episodes of this show a couple years ago and never stopped watching. Whats this show about you ask - well, frankly, it had a mildly interesting concept that turned out to be WILDLY fun to watch.
The show centers around storage locker auction in the greater L.A. (and further out) locations. You never know what you're gonna find and the bidders actually don't know for sure what they are bidding on - they can't go in and rummage around. They pop open the doors, give you 5 minutes to look inside and their off! Ya, I know - wow... but wait, there's more! The TV show executives wanted to make it more interesting so they decided to follow a few of the more interesting bidders such as:
Darrel Sheets, better known as The Gambler who is always willing to drop big $$ on the right locker with the right "factor x"
Jarrod Schulz and Brandi Passante - The Young Guns - in Seasons 1 & 2 their...
Not what I expected
I love the show Storage Wars, but was surprised when I bought "volume 3" only to find that it is really the second half of Season 2! I made the incorrect assumption that Season and Volume would mean the same thing. This review is a warning for others before purchasing.
