Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City
Game » consists of 18 releases. Released Oct 29, 2009
The Lost & Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony are collected onto this standalone disc of Grand Theft Auto IV's post-release content.
GTA IV Downloadable Episodes Finally Announced For PS3, PC
The two episodes will available in two different ways, much like they are on the Xbox 360. GTA IV owners can opt to download the episodes individually from the PlayStation Network or the Games for Windows Live Marketplace. Users looking for a standalone package can grab Episodes of Liberty City, which collates the two installments on one disc. Given current prices for the 360 versions of this content, it seems likely that the individual episodes will run $20 and the Episodes disc will go for $39.99.
The release also mentions that PC players will receive an "advanced video editor" with these add-ons, but it isn't clear if this means that it's advanced beyond the video editor that's already included with GTA IV on the PC, or if Rockstar is just claiming that its existing editor is, you know, advanced.

" Know what? too late nobody cares, with awesome games coming out now and soon like ME2 PC, BFBC2 PC, Bio2 PC, no one gives a shit. And they wonder why nothing sells well on PC when it's released a decade later. "I don't own a 360.
I get to buy it on a disc.
I care.
I like how people keep saying no one cares, even though they probably already have it on their 360 making their point invalid.

Got GTAIV for 8 dollars during the steam holiday sale. these would be great add ons to the experience.

"exactly but not only do what have good games coming out, but a 1000 good games have come out since that game. if anyone actually cares about this I feel sorry for them.
" It's too bad the PC version runs like complete shit, or i might have looked forward to this. "It's too bad your PC runs GTA IV like shit. Mine, on the other hand, runs it just fine @ 1080P. I have a 9600GT and Core i5 750. lern2computor
@trophyhunter:
I don't care what you think. I will enjoy Skydiving @ 1080p proper with a nice framerate and decent field of view.

Awesome. Though I can't believe Microsoft paid $200 million to have the DLC exclusively for like... 6 months...
Still, I thought The Ballad of Gay Tony was quite a disappointment.
There was a time when I would have been pretty excited about the opportunity to dive back into Liberty City, but that time has long since passed. It's been too long since I've even thought about GTA IV, and there's too much stuff that's actually new coming out in the near future that I just can't be bothered to care about this.
Was pissed that these didnt come out the same time as the 360 and eagerly wanted to play. But so much time has passed since I've played GTA4 and I don't think I care to buy and play either of these!!
This is a horrible business decision if you ask me. The DLC is coming way too late. For the PC version they have to set up download servers and a payment system, which is not trivial at all, see Bioware. They are going to lose money on this.
