Just bought a copy of silent hill 2 for Xbox because microsoft claimed it was backwards compatible for 360 on their website. Just put it in and I'm getting sound and no picture. Any Ideas?

Are you using a VGA cable?

I don't own that game but if it wasn't compatible you wouldn't get that far. Did it download a title update before launching?

Did you buy the blind person edition? Check if the instruction booklet is in braille.

Definitely compatibility. I assumed that it would work because it's a pal console. Does this mean that the american version will work on a PAL 360? Anybody tried this?

lol it should because of the frequency of display of your xbox. Is it configured to 60Hz? if it is change it to 50Hz.  
 
Lot's of games only work for 50Hz display.

" @Jeust: Yeah but silent hill2: restless dreams is on the uk compatibility list but that is the title of the american version.  Anybody actually tried this? "

" @Jeust: Just wanna know if anyone has tried the u.s. version on a uk 360 as thats the only reason i can fathom why microsoft would list it under backwards compatible in the UK section.  http://www.xbox.com/en-GB/games/backwardcompatibilitygameslist.htm "

" @Jeust: I have the uk version which doesn't work on my on my uk 360. Listed under backwards compatible on microsoft.com for uk 360's it says "silent hill 2: Dreams" which is the american title. the uk version is not listed in this section, so before i lay down cash and excess shipping costs i just want to know if the american xbox version will work in my uk 360. "

Mystery solved. It doesn't work and thats that. gonna borrow my friends xbox and play it on that. Scars is deep.
