If you’ve got Software Assurance for your SQL Server 2008 licensing, then you get all R2 updates included for free. If you don’t have SA, then you’ll need to decide whether the new features in SQL Server 2008 R2 vs SQL Server 2008 will be worth the cost of upgrading, because you won’t get SQL 2008 R2 for free. R2 is not considered a service pack.
