Ready to score a free 250GB Xbox 360 along with one of the hottest games this year? We have you covered. Your challenge is simple: create a war movie, and send it in. Not a bad way to score some gaming hardware.

You can buy one for $400 when this package comes out, or you can simply win it from us! Microsoft has given us the Modern Warfare 2 360 to give away to one lucky winner. How do you win it? Simple! Send in a video, hosted on YouTube or any other video site, of yourself or a group of friends engaging in some special operations.

Now for the rules (you can read the full legalese version here):

• No purchase is necessary to enter.
• You must be over 18 and a citizen of the United States to enter. Sorry world!
• The promotion begins today (12:01 AM ET 10/7/09) and ends on 11:59 PM ET 10/21/09. That gives you about two weeks to work on this.
• All entries will be judged on or about 10/22/09 (the “Judging Date”) by Ben Kuchera, the gaming editor of Ars Technica. The judge will score entries based on the following criteria: Creativity (33.33%), Production Values (33.33%), and Humor (33.33%). The entry with highest overall score will be declared the potential winner (in the event of a tie, the entry with the higher score in the creativity criteria will prevail).
• If you win and you don't respond within five days, we'll contact the runner-up and give them the prize.
• When making the video, respect all property and the environment and avoid anything that might cause bodily injury. Videos must not exceed five (5) minutes in length. All participants must be 18 years of age or older. Entrants represent and warrant that their Submission is the original work of such entrant, it has not been copied from others, and it does not violate the rights of any other person or entity. Entrant further represents that he/she is the videographer of any video submitted or that he/she has permission to use the video from the person who took it as well as permission from all participants. In addition, entrant represents that the Submission does not contain any defamatory, obscene or otherwise unlawful matter or depict anyone engaged in any illegal, immoral or lewd act, or any pornographic material or any other inappropriate content such as illegal drug use, nudity or hate speech.

Oi, I just might send in the results of my gun mounted camera in airsoft from sundays upcoming game. I wouldn't be surprised if I didn't win, but who actually does this kind of stuff, and if they do, to what lame extent ?

I think I just said I might be lame...
