Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Board of Directors and Stockholders
GameStop Corp.
Grapevine, Texas
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of GameStop Corp. as of January 30, 2010 and
January 31, 2009 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the
52 week periods ended January 30, 2010, January 31, 2009 and February 2, 2008. In connection with our audits of
the financial statements, we have also audited the financial statement schedule listed in Item 15(a)(2) of this
Form 10-K. These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial
statements and schedule. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects,
the financial position of GameStop Corp. as of January 30, 2010 and January 31, 2009, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for the 52 week periods ended January 30, 2010, January 31, 2009 and February 2,
2008, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Also, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated
financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.
As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, in fiscal 2007 the Company changed its
method of accounting for uncertainty in income taxes.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States), GameStop Corp.’s internal control over financial reporting as of January 30, 2010, based on criteria
established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of
the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated March 30, 2010 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
