I would have to say yes. You will probably need a converter for the RCA cords... convert the RCA to the little headphone jack type input. I dont know it that will give you the surround you want. Also, see if your PS2 has an optical out and hook it up that way. (the other guys can help you more with this one, I didn't review it)

yea the ps2 has optical or "digital" out on the back...i would just plug this into the back of the console device?....of course having to BUY another cord to hook it up...Also..i have just hooked up the large biatch...only to find out the REAR right speaker isnt working....ive tested it on my sound card software to confirm that....did i just get lucky and get a defective set? or what else could be the problem?

correction..its BOth back speakers that dont work...i switched them with different speakers and wires....so its NOT the speakers or the wires themselves....its either software...or the sub where the connects are made decided they would prefer if i didnt get what i paid for ...sick...

The optical connector for the Logitechs is (I believe) a MONO 1/8" jack. I'm not 100% sure of this, but whichever end of the optical hookup is 1/8", it needs to be a mono plug. A stereo plug will not work.
