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 28, 2012
and January 29, 2011 and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for
each of the 52 week periods ended January 28, 2012, January 29, 2011 and January 30, 2010. 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. at January 28, 2012 and January 29, 2011, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for each of the 52 week periods ended January 28, 2012, January 29, 2011 and
January 30, 2010, 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.
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 28, 2012, 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 27, 2012 expressed an
unqualified opinion thereon.
