[quote name='dustdingo']Storyline wise, what would it be like if I started with 3? Would that ruin the series for me? I have access to a PS3, but the PSP is on it's last legs and not all that excited about dragging the PS2 out anytime soon. Yes yes I know, 1 and 2 are apparently superior games to 3, but I've wanted to try this series and the PS3 is available.
Thoughts?[/QUOTE]
It won't ruin it for you. There are subtle jokes, from the other series and you won't get some of the cameos but it will still be enjoyable.
