I bought an Xbox 360 at launch and sold it a year later (I guess that would be sometime in 2007). I had traded it in for a PS3.

I am now going to make my PS3 just a blu-ray player and buy a 360 for games because I think it has a better controller, better online and better exclusives.

What has changed with the 360 since 2007?

I am planning on getting the pro bundle.

This will have a larger hard-drive then the one I got at launch and it will have an HDMI port.

There is also a new dashboard which looks cool.

I also understand you can install games to your hard-drive! What is the deal with this? Can all games be put onto the hard-drive? How many games would fit on an Xbox 360 pro bundle (comes with a 60GB hard-drive)?

Left 4 Dead has come out too which is supposed to be like the greatest co-op multiplayer game ever!

Any other major changes?

Game installs take between 3.4 and 6.8GB, though most are around 6GB. Given MS takes a chunk of the space on a harddrive anyway, you can probably have 8 games installed at once and still have a bit of room for save games, videos and DLC. It takes upto 10 minutes to install a game, but they will still require the disc in to make sure you still have it. You'll also have the chance to catch up on all the games you missed :)
