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 February 2, 2013
and January 28, 2012 and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, changes
in equity, and cash flows for the 53 week period ended February 2, 2013 and for the 52 week periods ended
January 28, 2012 and January 29, 2011. 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 February 2, 2013 and January 28, 2012, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for the 53 week period ended February 2, 2013 and for each of the 52 week periods
ended January 28, 2012 and January 29, 2011, 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, presents 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 February 2, 2013, 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 April 3, 2013 expressed an unqualified
opinion thereon.
