ST. LOUIS - Christmas finally arrived at Jim Henvick's house several weeks ago.
After four months of waiting, the gift he most wanted came: one of the wildly popular Nintendo Wii game consoles. The $250 systems are in such demand that retailers sell out quickly. Mr. Henvick got one at a video game store minutes after it came off the delivery truck.
Later that day, Mr. Henvick started to play - and did not stop for four hours.
"I noticed that my arms were getting sore; I was having trouble lifting them over my head," said Mr. Henvick, 35, of Ballwin, Mo. "So I finally had to stop for the night. If it wasn't for the soreness, I probably would've kept going. I was pretty sore the next day, too."
