well for now the original Price of the Ps2 can be around Rs.18,000(which includes one Console,One dual shock analog controller,Av Cables & if lucky the shopkeeper will throw in an extra Game Cd's or Memory card).But in the piracy world all's very fluctuating as u can get every bit of modded Ps2's with or without gaurantee Priced from around Rs.10,000(which i just checked lately) to Rs.12,000.as for the pirated ones yeah sure it can play most pirated Cd's and may be Mp3's and some even Divx titles(if having the correct mod) there is a very high risk of having a low qualty lens in it as it ain't officialy mfg with mod from sony so no TRUST and if something goes wrong U cant take the console to sony and blameit to them plus if the lens gets damaged at a later point u have very less resources in India which deal in Repairing the ps2's.SO try to be as Original As possible.Good luck finding one.
