Ok, so yesterday I made my first games on demand purchase from the sale that started yesterday. It downloaded to my hard drive and now I want to move it to my 16 GB flash drive I have already set up for my xbox (I partitioned 5 GB and there is currently 4.1 GB free) But every time I try to move or copy it over, my xbox tells me "there was a problem performing that action". I'd like to buy another game from the games on demand sale but I can't if I cannot move the game to my flash drive. What gives? I had an xbox originals game that moved just fine without complaining.

Yes. The game is 3.7 GB and I had 4.1 GB free. My temporary solution was to just empty out the flash drive and download the other game directly to it, because I really don't want to try re-downloading these things since they are such gargantuan files. Since I'm mainly getting them because they are hard-to-find easy achievement games (Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs & Surf's Up), I will probably end up deleting them as soon as I finish them but I'd still like to clear up this issue here. Perhaps clearing the cache on the xbox or flash drive could work, but I don't know really.

Msross - Due to the unique way TA randomly updates, it seems I passed 300K without even trying!

Why move them? Theyre linked to your gamertag, Download them as your playing them (you wont be playing them for long anyway)

Theyre not downloaded as a single file, but rather several files, and the number of files might be causing issues within the hack-job that is the USB drive layout (its a filesystem within a group of files that exist on the FAT system)..
Seriously, both your games are shit & short (the best combination) so it wont take you long to complete one & move onto the other.
