i want to use this projector for PS2, Austar and DVDs

Dell projectors don’t have a great reputation for home theatre use (they are primarily business class projectors) but it should be OK for DVDs and games.
The 800×600 resolution allows for OK resolution of widescreen DVDs (which use the full 800 pixels wide, but only a portion of the 600 high) … but wouldn’t be great with HD material.
2000 ansi lumens is plenty … even too much on a small screen (although actual brightness will be less once calibrated for good colour balance).
2100:1 CR is quite adequate for video (despite comments form other respondents!) … sure it’s nice to have more, but many business projectors are 400:1 > 800:1. And in all but a dead black room effective CR is degraded to not much more than 2000:1 on even the best projectors.
No digital inputs, but you can use component input for good quality video. It does accept HD input (which would allow you to use for HDTV if you feed from a cable or satellite receiver).
The street price is about $600 (see link) so $359 is a good deal.
You can get better projectors for more $, but you could also do worse.
Note a new lamp ($289, link 2) is not as expensive as on some projectors (which can be $500 or more).
