Lol, I'll probably just skip out on the side games all together. The card system on COM pissed me off...I tried playing it on my little cousin's DS back when it first came out...Yeah, I couldn't get the hang of it...

358/2 Days doesn't really give you a ton of story that's relevant to understanding the series. Its good fun if you like Org XIII (or Roxas or Axel a lot) but... you I'm 90% sure you don't HAVE to play it. Unfortunately its a game that follows along the "the end, now everything is back to normal" school of thought.
Lol. Yeah, I knew about Re:COM being the re-release for PS2. The only thing I'm missing is a DS...But I'm sure I could borrow my fiance's...If I had to...I dunno...
You should be able to play KHIII without playing any of the in between games. But if you are interested in playing them the order goes:
Birth by Sleep (ten years before...), Kingdom Hearts, Chain of Memories (or Re:Chain of Memories (a re-release on PS2)), 358/2 Days, Kingdom Hearts II.
But... to play all of 'em you'd need a PS2, PSP, and DS. And... you'd need to speak/read Japanese to play BBS cause it hasn't come over to NA yet. -whew-
Or if Square Enix decides to be weird again, they'll release it on Xbox 360 and then MAYBE the PS3 later. That would be a good way to lose a lot of money.

Personally it'd save me money! I wouldn't have to buy a PS3 then!
