How is Persona PSP in comparison to P3/4?

Since Persona 3 was the first game in the series to make it over here (UK), I was wondering how the original holds up to the newer entries (since PSP games are region free, I have the option of importing it). I've heard that P3/4 changed quite a lot of things, so will I still enjoy this remake if I've become used to the style of gameplay seen in the more recent games?

Probably not. The game is a first-person dungeon crawler with extremely bland environments, repetitive dungeons, and extremely high encounter rate. It's nothing like P3/P4. No social stuff at all. I'm a huge fan of Persona and SMT and even I have not bothered with this game yet. When it drops in price significantly then I'll give it a whirl. I can't justify spending 40 dollars on a game that has a lot working against it.

Do not expect any similarities TC. Persona 1 is very different from Persona 3 & 4. It is still a good game none the less I say give it a go.

I can't wait for P3 Portableto be released in the US. I want to know what all the fuss over Persona is all about.

It's nothing like them. Persona 1 is a dungeon crawler with an extremely high encounter rate. I think Persona 3 and 4 are two of the finest games I've ever played, but I've put about 5 hours into Persona 1 and haven't touched it in over a month. It's not a bad game, just nothing like the others.
