We took our PS2 in Dec 2004. We drove, but if we flew i would carry it on. We stayed at VWL and SSR and required no special hook up, just the standard hook up. We stayed in studios (no video players in studios) so in addition to games, we watched DVD's.
At SSR the Video inputs are in the front and at VWL they were in the back.
I dont know about renting, but I know for sure that the Community Hall at SSR has several PS2's set up for use and we also saw video game consoles at VWL but I cant remember if it was GameCube or PS2.
HTH!
