From the Diablo 3 official blog comes news of a free Starter Edition for the game. Read all about it here.

The Starter Edition lets you reach the Skeleton King and advance to level 13, and your character progress is carried over to the full version of the game when you decide to upgrade.

There is a detailed FAQ that gives a rundown of the restrictions placed on the Starter Edition, as well as the ins-and-outs of how to get it and upgrade to the full version of the game.
