Hello, so
'Ultimate edition' is the base game + every original chapter up until the Trickster. This doesn't include any of the licensed characters such as Michael Myers, Freddy, Pyramid Head etc - you need to buy those individually
The silent hill edition is the base game + 6 original dlcs (Hag, Doctor, Clown, Spirit and some extra cosmetics for the original characters) as well as the silent hill DLC and a cosmetic for Pyramid head is bundled alongside it
it's worth remembering any original character can be acquired for free with a lot of in-game playtime as they are purchaseable with one of the ingame currencies you earn. It does take a while to get enough for a character, though but it's very possible if you play a lot
Either way you're gonna need to shell out money for licensed content. I'd say if you're just getting started, the ultimate edition might be your best bet as it has so much content bundled into it and you can always pick/choose the licensed characters you're willing to fish out additional money for and get the newer original chapters with in-game currency instead.
The silent hill edition isn't worth the extra money, imo - you get so much more with the ultimate, going by the prices you listed here that is - it's different for me since I'm in EU

Yeah if you feel like you're saving money, do what you think is best! I'm sure you know how much you're comfortable spending and what content you want
Although I will say chapters like Plague and Clown give you some very good killer perks that you will want if you decide to stick with the role.
Again you could always just grind for them without having to pay, which is totally viable!

hi bones first thank you for answering that helped me a lot, im just starting on the game yes still leveling my first killer and got my survivor to 50 yesterday ( still dont have lvl 3 perks i want), im willing to spend money on the game because i like it, and i will buy the licensed content as well, so if i get the ultimate edition do i get all the survivors and killers that arent licensed ? i just want to buy everything but im trying to find out the best "path" to do it, since they have those 2 bundles but also sell each one of them separetely, so i dont want to buy "doubles", also im currently playing on xbox game pass, if i buy the steam version do i keep my progress ?

Yeah with Ultimate Edition you'll get every Survivor and Killer up until All-kill (Trickster)
There's only 4 killers after him, which would be:
Nemesis, Cenobite, Artist and Onyro
Artist is an original so you can get her with shards, the rest are all licenses that are standalone
There's also 1 standalone original character who's not included which is Mikaela but you can also get her with shards if need be.

but ultimate edition doesnt give me silent hill as well either right ? thats another licensed i need to buy separated

Correct ye
Ultimate doesn't have any of the licenses included, so Silent Hill would have to be bought seperately

i did the math, and if i pick them up seperated i get a better price, because if you pick them one by one, they actually have better discounts now, except that on the ultimate edition you get some sort of "universal amulet", which i have no idea of what it is, even the base game is 50% off, so i think i will stick to this solution, and also by doing this, i can actually skip some chapters i dont want probably, like the clown, or the plague, or the legion, they cost 2 dollars each at the moment, so im not sure, maybe i get them just for the survivors or something, what do you think ?
and the licensed content have different pricing and are not on any special discounts at the moment but i will still get them

i will just buy all then, the money isnt important, i just wanted to make sure i would have all i wanted, or just all of them, i will even buy the licenced items too, specially the Resident evil, new leon survivor newbie incoming hahah

Have fun!
Game has a bit of a steep learning curve but I'm sure you'll get the hang of it, just don't get bogged down in the dumb stuff people say or do in game. Play for your own enjoyment.
