Deleting Xbox Live Arade games.

If you delete a game you bought on Xbox Live Arcade, can you download it again without having to pay for it? I don't have a lot of space back on my HDD.Deleting Xbox Live Arade games.
As long as you bought the games with the same gamertag, you can use that gamertag to download them all again. However if you got any arcade games from a memory card/ HDD or the vision camera you will have to buy them.Deleting Xbox Live Arade games.
Yes you can redownload it for free with the account that bought it.

Yes, it has to be on the same tag though.
Just a thought, few arcade games take up large amounts of space, I would suggest that you delete any videos or music that you have stored on your 360 first. You may have some corrupted items taking up space too, where they never finished downloading but still take up the full amount of space that they would have.

Thanks for the help.I also had a lot of DLC that I never use.
So let me get this right.... if i downloaded say 5 XBLA games on my 60GB could i plug in a 20GB and transfer my gamertag over to it and download the games again on a seperate HDD for free?
You would only be able to use the arcade games when signed in to xbox live with your gamertag. Each arcade game is assigned to your gamertag and the CONSOLE it was first downloaded onto. If you use it on any other consoles (e.g. one with a different setup) only you would be able to play them.
Microsoft would like you to believe so but at least 2 arcade games have been permanently removed from the marketplace, making them impossible to redownload: Double Dragon and Speedball 2. Contrary to what the linked article states, when you visit your download history the message ''This item is not currently available from Xbox LIVE Web Marketplace.'' is displayed.
