For this week Tuesday, March 10th, Paradox Interactive's Cities: Skylines released on Steam for $29.99. That's not a very big price to pay when you consider similar titles such as 2013's release of SimCity is at Triple-A pricing.
Having won rave review and gaining relatively strong hype on internet communities, Cities: Skylines is currently the top seller on Steam Store and various digital retailers.

Standard vs. Digital Deluxe
As you can see from the links above, the same percentage discount applies to both the base game and the Digital Deluxe versions. On a whole, there really isn't too much of a difference between the editions in terms of game play.
What you will get in the Cities: Skylines Digital Deluxe is the game's original soundtrack, a digital art book with 100 hand-drawn concepts of game buildings, and five in-game bonus items:
- Statue of Liberty
- Eiffel Tower
- Brandenburg Gate
- Arc De Triumph
- Grand Central Terminal
Whether or not that's worth the additional $7 or so dollars is up to you (thus far it doesn't seem like it'll be worth the admission price).
