Pleasure mate. You're going to have a ball. I also waited and contemplated for a long time, but took the plunge a few months ago and the Oculus is great fun.
You may be disappointed at first, because the resolution is quite poor and appear pixellated at first. There is also quite a bit of "screen-door" effect and "god-rays", where you can see light bleeding on the sides or white streaks in high-contrast screens (eg white letters on black background). But once you're inside a well-designed game, those issues disappear completely and your brain kind of fills in the details. The sense of immersion and spatial awareness completely replace any deficiencies.
Also make sure that you position the headset properly on your face, so that the two lenses are DIRECTLY in front of your eyes and angled correctly. You will see that moving it around dramatically affects the image quality and focal point. Within a few tries you'll get it just right and hit the sweet spot and then the Oculus is bliss :-)
