2. Battle Worlds: Kronos ($29.99) - Amazon link
Although this "technically" released at Best Buy already, the official release date is 06/11 and the date it will be available at Amazon for those that haven't picked it up yet.
3. Tennis World Tour: Roland-Garros Edition ($39.99)
DEAL: GET A $10 EGIFTCARD WHEN YOU PREORDER AT BEST BUY! So here's where things get interesting. There seems to be three dates for this game. Amazon and Target show it as 05/28, but while Target has it in stock (online only already), Amazon is on a 1-2 month backorder. GameStop shows it as 06/11 and Best Buy just pushed it to 06/14. Either way, we should hopefully see it this week, haha.
