Both The Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony were also released together on a single boxed game disc called '''[http://www.rockstargames.com/episodesfromlibertycity/ Episodes From Liberty City]''', on October 29, 2009. Unlike the individual episodes, Episodes From Liberty City doesn't require the original GTA IV game. The disc includes three new radio stations exclusive to the double-pack version to compensate for some music not carried over from GTA IV. The single-episode DLCs do not contain exclusive music, but the original music is been carried over. Players who do not have GTA IV installed on their console will find that some phone conversation dialog in Episodes From Liberty City is missing. | Both The Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony were also released together on a single boxed game disc called '''[http://www.rockstargames.com/episodesfromlibertycity/ Episodes From Liberty City]''', on October 29, 2009.

*[[The Lost and Damned]] and [[The Ballad of Gay Tony]] have missing features which were present in Grand Theft Auto IV, most noticeably, the ability to buy clothing from the various shops, they are inaccessible. [[Girlfriends in GTA IV]] is also a feature that has partially been taken away, there are women in the clubs present in The Ballad of Gay Tony, but they can't be dated and only have oral sex with the protagonist Luis Lopez. These features were possibly removed so that new features like [[Nightclub|clubs]], new radio stations, TV shows, and the new [[Vehicles]] and [[Weapons]] could be placed in the game. | *[[The Lost and Damned]] and [[The Ballad of Gay Tony]] have missing features which were present in Grand Theft Auto IV, most noticeably, the ability to buy clothing from the various shops, they are inaccessible.
