You pretty much hit the nail on the head right there, YT. Tutorials will definitely get you started on the right track, stealing one of those "For Dummies" books will help you out even more. I consider those books user-friendly versions of the official books that companies like Adobe put out. God knows the "official" manuals are a tedious read.

Pick up some other programs like Adobe Illustrator and even Flash, once you get the hang of PS and it's many uses. You'll be cranking out quality shit in no time.

I used to download my brushes off of deviant art and some other random websites back in the day. I think I might just re-install PS-CS3 tonight, and start putzing around with it again... ahhh memories!
