Hmm, haven't read through the comments, but I suggest you play the games in order. Particularly since Disgaea 1 is one of the best srpgs ever made, and 2 was significantly worse, and though 3 could be better than 2, it probably won't reach 1.
Now, another reason you should play them in order, is they each have references and cameos by past characters.
The final reason is the graphics on all 3 games are nearly identical. The PS3 disgaea looks about the same as the PS2 version, which looks about as good as most games on the PS1. The games aren't about graphics.
So, since Disgaea 1 is soon to be a greatest hit, and will be found for 19 dollars, I suggest you try it out first, if you can wait, or just wait for The Last Remnant. Especially if you've never played a SRPG. They aren't for everyone. Be careful.
...and that's Zenfoldor's word. Proceed at your own peril.

It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.
NO NO, NO NO NO.
