Missing half a PS2 power cable

I'm missing half of my PS2 AC cable. I have the half with the brick that plugs into the PS2. The other piece that plugs into the wall has literally disappeared. I checked at Best Buy and they dont sell them. What are my options here? I can't order anything online, so I need to find something locally.

    Some eBay auction says that it's a pretty standard connector, used also with laptop and printer power supplies... Describing the connector might be more effective than asking for a cable for a PS2.

    Yea, we use the same thing on our printer and our CD player.

    I think the PSP uses the same half which I believe was intentional on Sonys part(the CD player is Sony to now that I think about it).

    It shouldn't be to hard to find one at your standard electronics store.

    Edit- Be careful as you're talking about the Slim PS2 and the cable is differant then the standard one (and not just that it attaches to the brick). Both ends are rounded on yours. On the regular one side is squared off.

    Damn, didnt see this edit before. I got a cable, but it doesnt fit, and sure enough, I have a slim PS2. Guess I'm making another trip to town tonight.

    Oh well, thanks for the help everyone.
