The film can also be yours on DVD (opens in new tab) for £3.99 . Duncan Jones’ brilliantly claustrophobic first film Moon is on Blu-ray (opens in new tab) for £7.49 . You can also pick the film up on DVD (opens in new tab) for just £4.35 .

(opens in new tab)

With the new The Thing prequel ( reviewed here ) out on DVD and Blu-ray on Monday we thought we’d point you in the direction of the original ’50s film The Thing From Another World .

The more recent, but still classic, ’80s John Carpenter version is available on DVD (opens in new tab) for £3.89 and on Blu-ray (opens in new tab) for £7.99 .

(opens in new tab)

To the supermarkets next, and Asda had a few recent DVD releases going cheap; The Adventures Of Tintin: Secret Of The Unicorn, Contagion, Troll Hunter and Midnight In Paris were all a tenner each.

Lots of finds from our forumers this week, starting with Buffster , who found that WOW-HD (the site formally known as CD WOW) is selling DVDs on a 2 for £10 offer. With over 120 titles in the sale, including some TV boxed sets, it’s well worth checking out.

Jonemoongoose found Game Of Thrones in Blockbusters for £25 , but they didn’t say whether it was the DVD or the Blu-ray format.

(opens in new tab)

Midnighter is back again this week with news that Captain America: The First Avenger, Cowboys & Aliens, Super 8 and Transformers: Dark Of The Moon were all being advertised as £5 each in Sainsbury’s. Sainsbury’s is also selling the new Tintin movie for a penny less than Asda at £9.99 and they’re saying they have a two-disc exclusive edition but we aren’t sure what makes it exclusive.

We had a big stack of suggestions from Radical Edward , he spotted this USS Enterprise pizza cutter (opens in new tab) over on Firebox. We’ve mentioned this item before on Bargains and while it’s a cool piece of tat, at £24.99 it isn’t exactly cheap. It’s far too pretty to actually use for pizza cutting, but we think it looks just lovely displayed on a shelf.
