I wanna get in to this franchise but I have no idea where to start!

I have a PSP, PS2, and PS3...

Tales of the Abyss is a pretty good starting point. It has pretty refined mechanics and some of the best characters in the franchise thus far.

The load times are kind of long on the PS2, but if that is too much for you it should be available on the 3DS in North America early next year.

If you can hold out until early next year, Tales of Graces f will be releasing then on the PS3.

Well, your options are (for western releases):
PS2
Tales of Abyss - Havn't played but heard it is a top Tales title
Tales of Legendia - Havn't played, different art style, but good reviews.
PSP
Tales of the World - Don't recommend for a first. It's overly quest based and slow. In a nut shell it's fan service and brings characters from all games to one game.
PS3
Tales of Graces f - coming out in March. Next big tales title. Played demo, it's epic!

Of all those I'd say Tales of Abyss. Solid title and I want to play it bad. I'm waiting for the 3DS release :X Either that or get a Gamecube cheap and buy Tales of Symphonia.. it's amazing and what got me hooked. hah.

Tales of the Abyss. It was my first Tales and I just recently beat it for 3DS. Even if I play the others (playing Vesperia right now), it will probably still be my favorite whether for biased reasons or not Tongue LOL But, yeah, that game is amazing and a great starting point if you want to get into the series Smile
