For me, It's worth the extra money for the Special Edition merely for the additional story mode gang hideouts and bank heist. I want as much story content as i can get, and when I'm playing that hideout and robbing that bank countless times through the coming years, I won't be thinking "sh*t, i shouldn't have spent that extra 20 bucks on this." As for the outfit and the horses- eh, I don't need it. I do plan to do a lot of hunting though and so that boost to my 'environmental awareness' is going to come in handy too. I'll also score some free weapons and benefit from discounts and a dead eye boost. Like I said, I'll be enjoying all of these for years to come, so for me , it's worth forkin' over the extra skrilla bills.
