yes but you will need a composite cable connection for the ps2, the standard av that came with the console will not work.

you can get one off ebay for quite cheap.

also bear in mind vga will not transfer audio so you will need to either plug the phono connection on the ps2 cable into something like and amp or speakers, better yet use the optical connection of the ps2 and plug it into an amp.

but you still wont have sound on your monitor you need to plug the audio out into something like an amp or stero with a phono input.

thats not component just AV, it carries audio anyway.


if you use that the leads that come in the wii and ps2 will be fine, although you wont be able to use the wii on 480p just 575i (or whatever it is).

so basically it wont look as good as it could, not to much difference though.
