EDIT: I've uploaded Part 2 as requested. I've add a link to the next video from this one.

Disgaea Infinite is a new game just released for the Playstation Portable. It basically plays out like an interactive storybook, requiring you to take control of various characters to uncover the diabolical plot(s) within the game/story. You play as a Prinny who discovers an enchanted pocket watch that gives you the ability to take control of various characters during the course of the story.
The tongue and cheek humor that Disgaea is known for is still here, but the gameplay is not. It literally is 'just' an interactive story, like a 'choose your own adventure' book. As far as I've played the game, whenever you are unable to finish the plot the correct way (you're doing detective work to find out who tried to assassinate Laharl for instance), the magical pocket watch will turn back time to the previously set checkpoint and allow you to do further investigating and experience more of the story from another perspective.
The game is available on UMD from various retailers, and for PSP Go owners, it's available for purchase/download on the Playstation Store. The game itself is only a small 154 MB, so you can imagine my surprise when I heard full voice acting within the game. The game is only $20, which is a steal for any PSP game, but if you're looking for something with actual... gameplay, you may want to check elsewhere because there isn't much here besides lots and lots of text and voice overs. A recommended buy for the real fans of the series who need to own everything Nippon Ichi related.
The first 10 minutes doesn't cover much here since the gameplay is not shown, but if this video appealed to your interests at all, then do check this game out.

My personal opinion: I enjoyed all the previous games. In fact the NIS games were the reason I got into the PS2, and the main reason I purchased a PS3 was simply to play Disgaea 3. I like what I've played during the first couple hours of the game/story, but I mostly got the game just so I could have another chunk of Disgaea on my PSP.

I can make another video to give you the next ten minutes after this video. Simply leave a comment on this one and let me know if you're interested.
