Update: The first DLC pack for Gears of War 3 is now actually available on Xbox Live according to a post on the Epic forums. Here is the exact quote from Epic:

"Good News! The Gears of Ware 3 Horde Command Pack is now available on the marketplace. Restart your Xbox to get the latest changes. There may also be a delay while the content propagates across Microsoft's servers. Thanks for your patients everyone!"
Original Story: Epic Games today announced a "temporarily delay due to a technical issue," of the first DLC "Horde Command Pack" for Gears of War 3; which was scheduled to be released today. According to Epic, during the final testing for the DLC pack there was a bug that was bad enough that the developer felt the need to delay the content indefinitely. Epic Games stated they are:
"working as fast as can to identify the issue and get the package out to all of fans."
There has been no new timeline set for when the "technical issues" will be fixed and thus no new released date for the "Horde Command Pack". The DLC is going to run you 800 Microsoft Points or ($10 US). I know this news is probably very disappointing to Gears of War 3 fans. However, with all the great games being released this month it is hard to complain about the DLC delay; personally I already have too many games I need to catch up on to be missing this DLC.
