Pretty self explanatory, can I download Gay Tony/LaD/both episodes without having the game itself?

don't think so, as it's episodic content/expansion it uses the GTA IV disc for the entire city and the download contains all the extras + main missions.

to cut down on download size, otherwise you're looking at a 6.6 Gb download.

You're better off just buying Episodes from Libery City. Same price of both the DLCs combined, plus you'll save a lot of HDD space.

That's just stupid, a stand alone disc, but not stand-alone DLC? Give me a break.

Of that Kit-Kat bar!!!

Your gonna need the GTA4 disc to play the expansions. Ballod of Gay Tony was amazing by the way.

As was said before, the DLC uses content from the disc as well as what the DLC added. It's an expansion, not a standalone product (the download would be huge if that was the case). The disc release has everything necessary on the disc and adds up to cost the same amount as the DLC; possibly cheaper. There's really nothing stupid about it. :?
