just tell him to sit at the couch with the TV on and the PS2 off. Make sure he has direct line of site to the PS2. Then throw it at the ON button.

Probably could. I have a 520 and it has an option to control video game consoles.

He would still need the IR reciever (from the PS2 DVD remote) plugged into the PS2. Other than that, I don't see why it wouldn't work.

Not necessarily. The IR dongle was built into both the slim and "fatty" PS2 a few iterations ago.
