You can save thousands: PlayStation 5 Slim with a 1TB Samsung external drive is now on sale!

If you’ve been holding off on buying a PS5, this is probably the best deal you’ll find. The PlayStation 5 Slim Digital Edition with an added 1TB SSD on Alza costs 12,742 CZK — the condition is an AlzaPlus membership for 59 CZK per month, which can be cancelled anytime. If you calculate that the 1TB expansion drive alone normally costs 4,999 CZK and the console without it costs 14,990 CZK (yes, this is an inflated price from Alza, it can normally be found three thousand cheaper), you’ll find savings in the thousands of crowns.

Quick summary:
✅ Makes sense if you want a PS5 with enough space for a digital library and don’t mind the absence of a Blu-ray drive.
⚠️ Consider if you prefer physical discs — the Digital Edition does not have a drive
💡 For 12,742 CZK you get a console with a total of 1,825 GB storage, 4K/120 FPS support, and a DualSense controller

Why Slim and why now

The PlayStation 5 Slim is 30% smaller and approximately 20% lighter than the original PS5. Inside, it runs the same hardware — an octa-core AMD Zen 2 processor and AMD RDNA 2 graphics with ray tracing support.

The key advantage of this particular bundle is expanded storage. The base SSD has 825 GB, of which the system takes up approximately 150 GB. The added 1TB SSD increases the total capacity to 1,825 GB, meaning you won’t constantly be deleting and reinstalling games — modern titles like Gran Turismo 7 or Final Fantasy VII Rebirth can easily take up 100+ GB.

What to watch out for

This is the Digital Edition, meaning the version without a Blu-ray drive. All games are purchased and downloaded exclusively from the PlayStation Store. If you have a collection of physical discs or prefer buying games in boxes (often cheaper secondhand), this version is not for you.

The vertical stand is not included — if you want to stand the console upright, you must purchase it separately. The package includes the console, one DualSense controller, a power cable, and an HDMI cable. The console menu is in Czech.

And a small note about the price: the discount to 12,742 CZK is valid with AlzaPlus membership, which costs 59 CZK per month. If you activate it only for this purchase and then cancel, you will practically only pay one extra monthly fee. Without membership, the price is higher.

Verdict

The PS5 Slim Digital Edition with a 1TB expansion drive for 12,742 CZK is currently one of the best ways to get the current generation PlayStation for a reasonable price. Nearly 1.8 TB of storage solves the biggest pain point for digital players, and the bundle price is significantly more advantageous than buying components separately. Those who don’t need physical discs and don’t mind the monthly AlzaPlus fee have no reason to hesitate.
