First off, the PS2 wouldn't recognize the controller wirelessley so you would be forced to connect it with the USB cable.

But, the PS2 has a USB input but I'm sure that it's not a USB 2.0 which is what is needed and it won't work with the USB cable.

However, you may be able to go to/or call a gaming store or electronic warehouse like EB Games, Gamestop, Future Shop, etc. and ask where you can purchase a USB/PS2 Adapter.

Good luck and I feel bad for your son that that had happened.

**If the controllers were advertised as PS2 controllers and you recieved PS3 controllers, contact eBay or the seller for a possible refund. It's pretty much false advertising. It's like me putting up Spiderman 2 on eBay and when someone buys it I ship them Spiderman 1 or 3.

Hope I helped with your situation!
