Rockstar: Ballad of Gay Tony will keep disc comfort zone

Despite being in the digital download era today, Rockstar co-founder Dan Houser is still of the belief that people remain to be more comfortable buying movies and games on discs. This is the company's premise for putting The Ballad of Gay Tony on a disc as well, apart from its DLC form.

In an interview with USA Today, "I know, as a consumer, I'm more comfortable buying songs, which are almost like a a jukebox, than I am buying movies as purely digital items," he said. " We all feel that way, so we can surely get more people to experience it if we put it on a disc."

Will have to download it now as I have already got The Lost and Damned as DLC, No point buying the Disc with TLaD and TBoGT when I only need TBoGT.



However if there was an option to disable the DLC and get a copy of both on a disc then I would definitly choose that, Doubt that would happen though so oh well

I never bought Lost and Damned, I like GTA but not enough to shell out 20 bucks for the expansion that was DLC only. I'll pay for the disc though.
