Will a english PS2 work in america?

May be...

I moved to america and i left my PS2 there, my grandma is bringing it over soon. I want to know if it will work on the TV and stuff. Will i need to buy extra cords and equitment?

UK PS2 is from PAL region, US is in NTSC U/C region. Also you'll need a power converter and make sure that TV supports PAL signal. You'll be able to play only PAL games on this PS2.
