how many is it limited to?
Is it worth getting over the regular release?

Don't get it because you think it may be "difficult to find" down the road, that's for sure. It'll be about as rare as the limited Saving Private Ryan... that is, not rare at all.
If the features look worth it to you, go for it. But you can safely ignore the "limited edition" hype on the cover.

What if it's limited like the Batman Begins Deluxe!?
I already pre-ordered a copy of War of the Worlds (2005) Limited Edition. I don't know how limited is but I want the 2 disc version.

You gotta laugh at this "Limited" and "Collectors edition" stuff.
I agree with the comment that limited usually means it wlll only be available for a limited amount of time, but there is no telling how long that time will be - could be years, and millions of the things will be produced. They will be around forever, rarely do these things go out of general circulation.
As for "Collectors Edition"", something does not become collectable because you slap a collectable logo on it. They have been doing the same for years with cd's, comics etc. Items become collectable often for the most inexlicable and unpredictable reasons, and you can rarely predict what will become truly collectable.
And spare me those bloody "collectors" boxes with a film cell and a bog standard version of the film as well - give me a break.
But it sure don't become collectable because the people who are selling it to you say so, that's fer sure.
Personally, I go for the film and the content, extras etc. Don't care a toss what the label on the cover says.

Technically, every disc you buy is a limited edition. These things won't be produced forever. Some High Defiition format will replace them, something will replace that, etc.
