Expansion

How is the episode accessed (through phone, separately from the game etc.)? How much of the episode is integrated into the main game (vehicles, etc.)? Anything else that should be documented? I would do it myself, but I own a PS3, not a 360! Biggest GTA Fan Ever^Talk 11:40, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

When you first download the DLC, when you start up GTA IV it will give you an option to play TLAD. After this point, every time you load up GTA IV, it will load the latest save made (whether it be vanilla (original) GTA IV or TLAD). After the first time I mentioned, to get to TLAD from the original, you must press Start, go to Game and then select either Load (if you already have a TLAD save) or New (it will give you the option to start a new GTA IV or TLAD game). All TLAD game saves are marked with a 'TLAD -' at the beginning. The only material that passes over from the TLAD to the original is the new music implemented into the current radio stations. --Aussiebushmatt 12:43, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

Setting

On this article, whoever edtited it got the year wrong. If it takes place at the same time as GTA IV then you should change it to say 2008.

Text messages

This game was obviously intended for HD TVs... can someone please post the text messages, either on the mission pages or on a subpage here and I'll put 'em in appropriate places? I can't read a word of most of 'em on my TV :( --GuildKnight^Talk2me 01:22, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

I agree. I have a 27 inch semi-HD/SD TV and it is near impossible to read the phone messages or the lower right hand corner items (street names, car names, etc. --The Vercetti 18:53, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

Why not on PS3?

Is there a reason given why its not on the PS3? If there is I would expect that reason to be in the article. And is this game just as long as the original missions for GTA IV? AJUK 19:00, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

Yes. Months, if not over a year, before GTA IV was released Microsoft paid Rockstar Games for two downloadable episodes (the first of which is The Lost and Damned), which is why TLAD is only available on the Xbox 360. A-Dust 19:40, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
