Diablo 2's demo was just the first two quests of Act 1, the den of evil and blood raven, and you could only play the barbarian. Why can't they do the same for D3? Maybe expand a little to three quests and two classes, since they've already announced two classes and they've finished the first Act.

Ranger - Ranged Weapon Mastery (fire a bow or javelins like a machine gun!), Traps (MK style!), Pets (lions, tigers, and bears oh my!) - physical damage based
Demonologist - Bone Spells (Necro style!), Avatar (shapeshift into a demon!), Furies (evil spirits that hang around you, giving party bonuses) - mix of physical damage and magic
LEAP ATTACK!!!!! PLAGUE OF TOADS!!!!!
SLOW TIME!!!!!
The probably have very little developed outside what we saw. Even that was pretty rough around the edges in terms of actual content aside from showing the mechanics and some areas.
what Slabshaft said!
The gameplay video was made to show us the mechanics, not much of the actual game. A demo at this point would pretty much ruin it and i dont think Blizzard ever had a demo for a game not yet released. But even if they did plan to do something like that, it would only be when they're late beta with the game almost fully done.
I would love a pre-release demo, but I don't think it will happen. I never felt like d2 ever really showed its greatness until the last quest of the first act. That would be an incredibly long demo!
