A while ago, Beyonce announced that she would release a video anthology for her latest album, I Am… Sasha Fierce. After the promo blitz that she’s been on for the last couple of weeks for the release of her movie, Obsessed, our good friends at Beyonce World have announced that Beyonce will release her video anthology and and re-release a deluxe edition of the LP exclusively to Wal-Mart on June 16th.
