We know you’ve been dying to find out who’s taking home that super rare signed 300-Edition Xbox 360 Elite. Well, you can all officially bum rush Erik Burgardt, since he’s the lucky sucker taking this thing home.

Just for good measure, in addition to the signed Xbox and 300 HD DVD, Microsoft also hooked him up with a copy of Forza 2, Crackdown, a year’s Xbox Live service, and 1600 Microsoft points. Congrats Erik, everyone — including and especially us — is incredibly jealous.

Ohhh big surprise, Microsoft just announced a price drop on the 360 lineup. Retailers will knock $50 off the Premium systems (bringing it to $350), $30 off the Elite (down to $450), and $20 off the Core (bringing it to $280). Expect it to take effect this Wednesday, the 8th. Buy, buy, buy, people. Oh, let’s briefly review how many of Microsoft’s retail partners had a difficult time keeping Redmond’s big secret.

Read - GameStop can’t hold it in
Read - Circuit City, loose lips sink console price drops
Read - Best Buy thinks the Core system won’t be around much longer
Read - Toys R Us won’t keep a secret
Read - Wal-Mart’s a blabbermouth
Read - The Hollywood Reporter even heard about this thing
Read - Oh, here’s the official release

digg_url = ‘http://digg.com/xbox_360/Win_a_super_rare_signed_300_Edition_Xbox_360_Elite_and_300_HD_DVD’; We’ve given away any number of Xbox 360s on Engadget in the past, but never one with the level of awesome turned up to 11 (or, in this case, 300). Today we’re giving away one of just 20 super rare Xbox 360 Elite consoles printed with blood designs from 300 — but rarer still since it’s friggin’ signed by Frank Miller. The details of what the winner takes:

  • 300-Edition Xbox 360 Elite (120GB drive, wireless controller, etc.)
  • Console is signed by 300 creator and comic legend Frank Miller, as well as Zack Snyder, director of the eponymous film
  • 300 combo DVD / HD DVD (which is, incidentally, out today) to go right along with it.

Look, we’ll admit it, we really don’t want to give this thing away — so make sure you follow the contest guidelines, ok?

The rules (yeah, there are always rules):

  • Leave a comment below — tell us your fave scene from the movie. (It’s ok if you haven’t seen it, but where the hell have you been?)
  • You may only enter this specific giveaway once. If you enter this giveaway more than once you’ll be automatically disqualified, etc. (Yes, we have robots that thoroughly check to ensure fairness.) In other words, be careful when commenting and if you submit more than once, only activate one comment, ok?
  • If you enter more than once, only activate one comment — otherwise we’ll send Leonidas after you.
  • Contest is open to anyone worldwide!
  • Entries can be submitted until 11:59pm EDT on Sunday, August 12th.
