Is is a slim PS2 of a fat PS2? If it is a fat PS2, you will need to get a power inverter, to give you 240v for the power cord. can be a tad bulky.
A slim PS2 might be easier. It does not have an internal power supply, do they use an external power adapter ffor it to run. That means that they are already DC powered. You would just need to get a power adapter (which can be bought from Jaycar, DSE etc). They were 8.5v, 5.6A.

check out my garage thread... ive done this with a small power inverter...
the slim ps2 use 9.5 volt and is very hard to convert from 12 (14.4) the power inverter cost around $40 it only needs to be small as the ps2 does not pull mush current at all |

Also the cheap inverters have been known not to use pure sign wave, resulting in potential damage, to some items, whether a playstation would be fine I'm not sure but I'd do a little research before throwing in a cheap one. Mate I'd personally flog the big f**k on ebay and hit up your local cashies for one of the slimlines then grab a converter off ebay, I know I ended up making money changing my bulky f**k for a slimline this way.
