Whether or not the Special Edition is worth it is entirely up to you. It's essentially a soundtrack and a sticker. If you're into soundtracks, like collecting hard to find games, are a DC completist, or plan to resell the game on ebay in 4-5 years, then go ahead and pay the 80 bucks. If you just want the game to play, then get the regular edition. I live over here in Japan, and the local stores don't have anymore copies of the LE, and the regular edition goes for about 6000 ($52USD) yen. Pick it up now while you still can!
