Sorry for missing this thread. I am answering this today, since we had another question about hooking the PS2 to a PC monitor. You can hook the PS2 to a graphic card, like PSX said, but the screenshots would be horribly blurry in the end (that's why some websites have lots of screenshots, but most are very bad looking) unless you buy some of the most expensive cables/converters on the market.

Anyhow, you might probably get some decent results with a digital camera with manual settings and a good flat TV screen.

Finally, there are unfortunately just a few games that let you save in-game screenshots, like Final Fantasy XI or Metal Gear Solid games. Once saved on a memory card, these screenshots can be sent to an e-mail account (for example using Final Fantasy XI PlayOnline E-mail features) or you can hook the Memory Card to your PC using some Memory Card reader, a Memory PC Link Cable, or any other third part accessory you can usually find in Hong Kong stores.
