New Vita-exclusive content and features: Two new characters and story chapters, new quests and bosses, new skills specific to each job and character class, new moves, and new GPS positioning functionality take full advantage of the of PlayStation Vita!Advanced item customization: In previous Disgaea games, new items could be created based on the stats of something else, but the customization stopped there.Compete with your friends using the Record Shop: View other players' game stats and rankings on PlayStation Network to determine who the most hardcore Disgaea player is!
First of all: Welcome to the Netherworld!
If you're wanting to dig into the series, I'd recommend starting at the beginning. The primary reason for this is that the game mechanics have evolved over the years, and if you start with the most recent games you may find the older ones more frustrating. The original Disgaea was a PS2 game (Hour of Darkness) that also has a PSP release (Afternoon of Darkness), as well as DS. In February it will be releasing on Steam for PC for the first time as well!
If you don't mind skipping a few titles, then starting with 3 should be fine. The Vita versions can be purchased directly from NIS America's webstore, and perhaps a few select online retailers. (Example, here's Amazon US's page: http://amzn.com/B006FRMVIQ )
Be aware that Disgaea is built on the foundation of silliness, massive numbers, and grinding. It is FAR more light-hearted than Final Fantasy Tactics. As long as you embrace this from the get-go, you'll have a wonderful time! If you have any additional questions, feel free to ask, I'll respond when available. You can also PM me.
Cheers, and hope you enjoy the shenanigans!

I'm assuming you're a US citizen, but... dood,
I know it's extra expense, but $110 (plus any applicable sales tax for your state) ain't half bad.
PSTV works with PS3+4 controllers afaict (it works with mine but mine's fully patched!), so... you should be good to go.
Other than that... Disgaea 3 was a decent game, Disgaea 4 is FAR superior to it. Get D4 before / instead of D3 if budget's a concern.
That and you can pick up Disgaea 1 Afternoon of Darkness PSP version and Disgaea 2 PSP for it too... :p guess what I've got on my Vita? :D
Disgaea 5 beats both of them on convenience of the game's systems etc. It's really well done. So get Disgaea 5 to go with your new PS4, and then think about the Vita versions of the prior games, maybe :)
EDIT: $31 for the Triple Play: https://www.amazon.com/Disgaea-Triple-Play-Collection-PlayStation/dp/B011L4CFB0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1487863466&sr=8-1&keywords=disgaea+collection - so a cheap PS3 might be a good way to go if you can get that!
PS3 is also a blu-ray player so if you're the kind who needs a blu-ray player for a second room, ... there's a convenient excuse for you :D
"Format: NTSC-J (Asian)"
It will probably not support English. But it will work.
You should be able to score it cheaper online but you need to get a EU, US, AU version.

This is 24 pound, but they will probably add something for delivery.
