Oh, and to the rest of you...thanks for the info. I don't usually play those kinds of action RPGs, which partly explains why I've never played Diablo. Might not be my thing.
Anyway, go to Steam and download the (small sized) Torchlight Demo. I personally feel that it's the closest you can get to the basic Diablo (the first chapter at least) feeling, minus the unique and wonderful atmosphere of the Blizzard game (vastly superior to Diablo 2, imo).

Just avoid the pre-order hype train, the honeymoon period and wait for some good reviews. No money lost by waiting, though Blizzard can generally be trusted to give you a good ride for your money.
However I will say that Diablo 1, when it came out, was jaw-dropping and a lot of the love comes from people who fondly remember that experience.
