We're giving away a biggie—the Toshiba HD-A1 HD-DVD Player valued at $499. To win this it is pretty simple, write up a haiku about high-definition video. A haiku is a style of poetry. It is a three-lined poem—the first line containing five syllables, the second line containing seven syllable and the third line containing five syllables. Another shorter style can do three syllables, five syllables, three syllables for the three lines of poetry.
