GTA IV DLC episode coming October 29

Written by Andre Yoskowitz @ 23 Jul 2009 3:39 User comments (10)

Rockstar has announced that the Ballad of Gay Tony, the second Xbox 360-exclusive DLC episode of the popular GTA IV games will be released on October 29th.

You can either purchase the game physically or download via Xbox Live for $19.99 USD (1600 MS points) or you can buy the game alongside the first episode (The Lost of the Damned) in a new bundle dubbed Grand Theft Auto: Episodes From Liberty City for $39.99 USD.

The box set does not require GTA IV installed to play. However, if you purchase separately, you will need the original game. Episodes From Liberty City will cost 34.99 GBP.

While Rockstar picked an interesting name for their newest DLC, they also (obviously) don't have problems with possibly offending people.

I didn't know that either DLC was a standalone production. I thought (at least for the 1st DLC) that you needed GTA IV to play it. I guess you learn something new everyday. :P

Who cares, I got myself a brand new 360 Arcade for $90 just for this crap.

I have GTA IV on both consoles and I noticed that the 360 version seems like more retarded then the PS3 version... The lighting just fails and for whatever reason it feels more arcade-like.

I somewhat agree what you are saying, but for me playing games like gta IV with out mouse and keyboard just ruins the game for me, and i would rather wait and hope they ship those to pc, than buy console just for that one game. BTW this is just MY opinion if you enjoy it (more) with console then good for you.
