how realistic is it to expect somebody with 2+ years of game programming experience, xbox or ps2 experience, and at least one completed project to want a junior programming position?

That's the *ideal* junior candidate really.

I might apply even though I probably won't get in (because of the distances involved). I pretty much have the requirements covered though.

many people in this industry at programmer or senior programmer level have that amount of experience, hiring somebody at junior level with a shipped title is a joke.
