UK PS2s use PAL format, US TVs use NTSC, which both have different frame rates. If you try to use the UK PS2 on a US TV, the image will flicker and jump around due to this disparity.
While many UK TVs can switch to an NTSC mode, the opposite is rare in the US. But you can get a converter box which both devices plug into, you'd have to buy it online.

Will a Wii bought in the US work in the UK?
It will work if you can get a UK power adaptor for it, and if you have a NTSC compatible TV, but you will only will be able to play games from the US, not ones from the UK.
Will UK Nintendo Wii games work on a US Nintendo Wii?
No, The two types of consoles have different region encoding. This is called Region Lockout (or Region Lock). They are incompatible. UK games will not work on a US wii. The UK use a PAL (Phase Alternating Line) system whereas the US use NTSC (National Television System Committee). There is a CD called Freeloader which should allow you to play games from different regions on your US wii. i.e JP and UK games will work on the US wii with the CD
Will US wii consoles work in the UK and are UK games compatible?
Yes and no.... The console will work, but you'll need a TV capable of displaying NTSC (UK TVs are PAL), you'll also need to either replace the power supply or get a step down transformer. Nintendo has region locked the games for the Wii, you can only play UK games on a UK console. However this is not necessarily a bad thing as by ordering online from US sites you can still get new release games fairly easily, although the exchange rate has eaten into the savings somewhat. One major downside is that you won't be able to access the UK online service with a US console, only the US service.
