I recently bought myself a Nexus 7 tablet and I like most people have too many apps on my existing phone (GNex).
So I have a few apps that are about between 100 and 300 mb to download from the Play store.
So I though what if I transfer some of the files to my tablet and then just download the executable from the Google Play store.
What I did was I found the folders in the Android/obb directory on my device (GNex) and moved them to my Nexus 7 just as a experiment.
I then found that only the executable was downloaded and the big file was used as normal.
So after some searching I found that if a games stores one big OBB file in the Android/obb/<game name> you can transfer it to you device without having to download everything again.
Hope this will benefit someone.
Definition: OBB lets you package up large files and store them on the public SDcard in a way that only your app can decrypt and use them
