Author Xbox Sims 2 on Xbox 360

We just bought a new Xbox 360 Premium yesterday and are having great fun.
My daughter wanted the Sims 2 game, which seems to be only available in an
Xbox game. I thought 'no problem' as the game is backwards compatible.

Seems that it is not.

I downloaded and installed the update from www.xbox.com that is supposed to
let the 360 support Xbox games, but I still get a message that the game is
not compatible.

What gives?

Thanks,

Tom

Not "all" games which were developed for the original Xbox are compatible on
the Xbox 360, Tom. You should check the compatibility list here:

8-) Can't help what an incompetent sales person says. There's too many of
them.
