UPDATE: Major Nelson is reporting the Bethesda has fixed the issues with the DLC and folks can now download (or re-download) The Pitt for Fallout 3.

Fallout 3 fans were a bit dismayed this morning when rushing to their Xbox 360s to download the newest DLC for Fallout 3, “The Pitt.” Apparently somewhere in the uploading process the file for the DLC got corrupted and players had a whole host of issues including floating exclamation points (apparently the Fallout world saw Solid Snake), red boxes in the sky, and overall texture and building issues. You can rest assured that the old file has been taken down and the process is in action to fix the issue and get it back up. Says Bethesda Blog:

“We are continuing to look into the issues people are experiencing with The Pitt for Xbox 360. As of now it looks like the file for the English version on Xbox Live was somehow corrupted. We are currently working with Microsoft to remove the existing file off of Live to prevent any further downloads. Our plan is to replace it with a new file as soon as possible. We hope to have another update for you shortly.”

Those of you that already bought and downloaded The Pitt will just need to re-download the DLC (for free) when the new version is live. Stay tuned to this story for updates, we will let you know when all is well!
