SNES - SMT II...HOWEVER... it was never released in english, but if you can read Japanese, go for it.
GBA - Nothing of note...
PSP - Persona 3 Portable (If you want...)
PS2- Here we go... Persona 3, Persona 4, Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha (Both of them), Digital Devil Saga (Both of them) SMT: Nocturne (Also called lucifers call) you could also pick up the original Persona if you can find it... its a PS1 game though.
DS - Devil Survivor and Strange Journey
PC - PC has the MMO... Shin Megami Tensei: Imagine
Theres ALOT more than those games, but these are generally the easiest to find... all of them are good.
EDIT: A note... If your heavily religious, this series might not be for you... Just saying... Things like Satan being a summonable Persona in Persona 3/4 and a Ultimate Boss in Digital Devil Saga... and God himself being the final boss of II.

The original Revelations Persona is also on the PSP.
How bout in terms of story? Would I miss anything if I started with 3?Darthkaiser
Connections:
Revelations Persona has links to Persona 2, though not many. There are however returning characters and it is the same universe.
If you aren't aware there are two versions of Persona 2, Tsumi and Batsu (Innocent Sin and Eternal Punishment). Those two obviously connect directly.
In direct regards to what you were asking, Persona 3 only has playful easter eggs from Persona 2.
Persona 3 Portable has some cameos from Persona 4 and music.
Not to drive this whole topic off track, but I tend to disagree. When a game keeps all of its old faults in a newer version, that's not easily excused. Games should take the most possible advantage of technology at the time, and update gameplay to keep up with current standards. Keep in mind, also, that at that time, the biggest RPG was still Final Fantasy(random encounters were commonplace), and limited storage space and processing power kept the environments bland and repetitive. The modern review still notes the unique gameplay under the surface(conversing with enemies, rumour system), but it does say that you will have to slog through loads of bland content at the same time. Rating game updates and ports more strictly is something Gamespot does more than other sites, I think, and it's something I respect. Also, it's not as if the Persona games really follow after each other, so playing the older ones only serve to see new gameplay elements introduced to the series.To be fair, please do read the ORIGINAL review for Persona 2 Tsumi.

To rate an old game bad for being old is somewhat misleading.
