Basis of Presentation [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | 1. Basis of Presentation GameStop Corp. (together with its predecessor companies, GameStop, we, our, or the Company), a Delaware corporation, is the worlds largest retailer of video game products and PC entertainment software. The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. All dollar and share amounts in the consolidated financial statements and notes to the consolidated financial statements are stated in thousands of U.S.dollars unless otherwise indicated. The unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of the Companys management, necessary for a fair presentation of the information for the periods presented. These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information and the instructions to Quarterly Report on Form10-Q and Article10 of RegulationS-X. Accordingly, they do not include all disclosures required under GAAP for complete financial statements. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Companys annual report on Form10-K for the 52weeks ended January30, 2010 (fiscal 2009). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. In preparing these financial statements, management has made its best estimates and judgments of certain amounts included in the financial statements, giving due consideration to materiality. Changes in the estimates and assumptions used by management could have significant impact on the Companys financial results. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Due to the seasonal nature of the business, the results of operations for the 13weeks ended May1, 2010 are not indicative of the results to be expected for the 52weeks ending January29, 2011 (fiscal 2010). Certain reclassifications have been made to conform the prior period data to the current interim period presentation. |

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation [Abstract] | |
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation | 2. Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. This valuation model requires the use of subjective assumptions, including expected option life, expected volatility and expected employee forfeiture rate. The Company uses historical data to estimate the option life and the employee forfeiture rate, and uses historical volatility when estimating the stock price volatility. The options to purchase common stock granted during the 13weeks ended May1, 2010 and May2, 2009 were 1,177 and 1,419, respectively, with a weighted-average fair value estimated at $7.88 and $9.45, respectively, using the following assumptions: 13 Weeks Ended May1, May2, 2010 2009 Volatility 51.6 % 47.9 % Risk-free interest rate 1.8 % 1.5 % Expected life (years) 3.5 3.5 Expected dividend yield 0 % 0 % In the 13weeks ended May1, 2010 and May2, 2009, the Company included compensation expense relating to stock option grants of $2,965 and $2,412, respectively, in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of May1, 2010, the unrecognized compensation expense related to the unvested portion of our stock options was $18,475, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.0years. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the 13weeks ended May1, 2010 and May2, 2009 were $2,063 and $2,198, respectively. The restricted stock granted during the 13weeks ended May1, 2010 and May2, 2009 were 683shares and 571shares, respectively. The shares had a fair market value of $20.32 and $26.02 per share, respectively, and vest in equal annual installments over three years. During the 13weeks ended May1, 2010 and May2, 2009, the Company included compensation expense relating to the restricted share grants in the amount of $4,256 and $4,925, respectively, in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of May1, 2010, there was $27,288 of unrecognized compensation expense related to nonvested restricted stock awards that is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.1years. |

Fair Value Measurements and Financial Instruments [Abstract] | |
Fair Value Measurements and Financial Instruments | 4. Fair Value Measurements and Financial Instruments The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value accounting guidance applies to our forward exchange contracts, foreign currency options and cross-currency swaps (together, the Foreign Currency Contracts), Company-owned life insurance policies with a cash surrender value and certain nonqualified deferred compensation liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis in periods subsequent to initial recognition. Fair value accounting guidance requires disclosures that categorize assets and liabilities measured at fair value into one of three different levels depending on the observability of the inputs employed in the measurement. Level1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level2 inputs are observable inputs other than quoted prices included within Level1 for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market-corroborated inputs. Level3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability reflecting our assumptions about pricing by market participants. We value our Foreign Currency Contracts, Company-owned life insurance policies with cash surrender values and certain nonqualified deferred compensation liabilities based on Level2 inputs using quotations provided by major market news services, such as Bloomberg and The Wall Street Journal, and industry-standard models that consider various assumptions, including quoted forward prices, time value, volatility factors, and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures. When appropriate, valuations are adjusted to reflect credit considerations, generally based on available market evidence. The following table provides the fair value of our assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis and recorded on our consolidated balance sheets, in thousands: May1, 2010 May2, 2009 January30, 2010 Level 2 Level 2 Level 2 Assets Foreign Currency Contracts $ 27,291 $ 6,734 $ 20,062 Company-owned life insurance 2,808 2,174 2,584 Total assets $ 30,099 $ 8,908 $ 22,646 Liabilities Foreign Currency Contracts $ 6,588 $ 9,996 $ 8,991 Nonqualified deferred compensation 826 920 762 Total liabilities $ 7,414 $ 10,916 $ 9,753 The Company uses Foreign Currency Contracts to manage currency risk primarily related to intercompany loans denominated in non-functional currencies and certain foreign currency assets and liabilities.

Debt [Abstract] | |
Debt | 5. Debt In October 2005, the Company entered into a five-year, $400,000 Credit Agreement (the Revolver), including a $50,000 letter of credit sub-limit, secured by the assets of the Company and its U.S.subsidiaries. The Revolver places certain restrictions on the Company and its subsidiaries, including limitations on asset sales, additional liens and the incurrence of additional indebtedness. In April 2007, the Company amended the Revolver to extend the maturity date from October11, 2010 to April25, 2012, reduce the LIBO interest rate margin, reduce and fix the rate of the unused commitment fee and modify or delete certain other covenants. The extension of the Revolver to 2012 reduces our exposure to the current tightening in the credit markets. The availability under the Revolver is limited to a borrowing base which allows the Company to borrow up to the lesser of (x)approximately 70% of eligible inventory and (y)90% of the appraisal value of the inventory, in each case plus 85% of eligible credit card receivables, net of certain reserves. Letters of credit reduce the amount available to borrow by their face value. The Companys ability to pay cash dividends, redeem options and repurchase shares is generally prohibited, except that if availability under the Revolver is, or will be after any such payment, equal to or greater than 25% of the borrowing base, the Company may repurchase its capital stock and pay cash dividends. In addition, in the event that credit extensions under the Revolver at any time exceed 80% of the lesser of the total commitment or the borrowing base, the Company will be subject to a fixed charge coverage ratio covenant of 1.5:1.0. The per annum interest rate on the Revolver is variable and, at the Companys option, is calculated by applying a margin of (1)0.0% to 0.25% above the higher of the prime rate of the administrative agent or the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50% or (2)1.00% to 1.50% above the LIBO rate. The applicable margin is determined quarterly as a function of the Companys consolidated leverage ratio. As of May1, 2010, the applicable margin was 0.0% for prime rate loans and 1.00% for LIBO rate loans. In addition, the Company is required to pay a commitment fee of 0.25% for any unused portion of the total commitment under the Revolver. As of May1, 2010, there were no borrowings outstanding under the Revolver and letters of credit outstanding totaled $8,213. In September 2007, the Companys Luxembourg subsidiary entered into a discretionary $20,000 Uncommitted Line of Credit (the Line of Credit) with Bank of America. There is no term associated with the Line of Credit and Bank of America may withdraw the facility at any time without notice. The Line of Credit will be made available to the Companys foreign subsidiaries for use primarily as a bank overdraft facility for short-term liquidity needs and for the issuance of bank guarantees and letters of credit to support operations. As of May1, 2010, there were cash overdrafts of $4,058 outstanding under the Line of Credit and bank guarantees outstanding totaled $15,803. In September 2005, the Company, along with GameStop, |

Income Taxes [Abstract] | |
Income Taxes | 6. Income Taxes The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S.federal jurisdiction and various states and foreign jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to U.S.federal income tax examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for years before and including the fiscal year ended January28, 2006. The IRS completed an examination of EBs U.S.income tax return for the short year ended October8, 2005 during fiscal 2009. EB is no longer subject to U.S.federal income tax examination by tax authorities for fiscal years prior to and including the short year ended October8, 2005. We accrue for the effects of uncertain tax positions and the related potential penalties and interest. There were no net material adjustments to our recorded liability for unrecognized tax benefits during the 13weeks ended May1, 2010. It is reasonably possible that the amount of the unrecognized tax benefit with respect to certain of our unrecognized tax positions could significantly increase or decrease during the next 12months. At this time, an estimate of the range of the reasonably possible outcomes cannot be made. The tax provisions for the 13weeks ended May1, 2010 and May2, 2009 are based upon managements estimate of the Companys annualized effective tax rate. |

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions [Abstract] | |
Certain Relationships and Related Transactions | 7. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions The Company operates departments within seven bookstores operated by Barnes Noble, Inc. (Barnes Noble), a related party through a common stockholder who is the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Barnes Noble and a member of the Companys Board of Directors. The Company pays a license fee to Barnes Noble on the gross sales of such departments. The Company deems the license fee to be reasonable and based upon terms equivalent to those that would prevail in an arms length transaction. During the 13weeks ended May1, 2010 and May2, 2009, these charges amounted to $226 and $250, respectively. In May 2005, the Company entered into an arrangement with Barnes Noble under which www.gamestop.com became the exclusive specialty video game retailer listed on www.bn.com, Barnes Nobles e-commerce site. Under the terms of this agreement, the Company pays a fee to Barnes Noble for sales of video game or PC entertainment products sold through www.bn.com. For the 13weeks ended May1, 2010 and May2, 2009, the fee to Barnes Noble totaled $62 and $82, respectively. Until June 2005, GameStop participated in Barnes Nobles workers compensation, property and general liability insurance programs. The costs incurred by Barnes Noble under these programs were allocated to GameStop based upon total payroll expense, property and equipment, and insurance claim history of GameStop. Although GameStop secured its own insurance coverage, costs will likely continue to be incurred by Barnes Noble on insurance claims which were incurred under its programs prior to June 2005 and any such costs applicable to insurance claims against GameStop will be allocated to the Company. During the 13weeks ended May1, 2010 and May2, 2009, these allocated charges amounted to $10 and $62, respectively. |

Commitments and Contingencies On February14, 2005, and as amended, Steve Strickland, as personal representative of the Estate of Arnold Strickland, deceased, Henry Mealer, as personal representative of the Estate of Ace Mealer, deceased, and Willie Crump, as personal representative of the Estate of James Crump, deceased, filed a wrongful death lawsuit in the Circuit Court of Fayette, Alabama, against GameStop, Sony, Take-Two Interactive, Rock Star Games and Wal-Mart (collectively, the Defendants) and Devin Moore, alleging that Defendants actions in designing, manufacturing, marketing and supplying Defendant Moore with violent video games were negligent and contributed to Defendant Moore killing Arnold Strickland, Ace Mealer and James Crump. Moore was found guilty of capital murder in a criminal trial and was sentenced to death in August 2005. Plaintiffs counsel named an expert who plaintiffs indicated would testify that violent video games were a substantial factor in causing the murders. The testimony of plaintiffs psychologist expert was heard by the Court on October30, 2008, and the motion to exclude that testimony was argued on December12, 2008. On July30, 2009, the trial court entered its Order granting summary judgment for all defendants, dismissing the case with prejudice on the grounds that plaintiffs experts testimony did not satisfy the Frye standard for expert admissibility. Subsequent to the entry of the Order, the plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal. The plaintiffs have filed their appellate brief in support of their appeal and the defendants have filed their consolidated appellate brief in opposition to the appeal. The Company does not believe there is sufficient information to estimate the amount of the possible loss, if any, resulting from the lawsuit if the plaintiffs appeal is successful. In the ordinary course of the Companys business, the Company is, from time to time, subject to various other legal proceedings, including matters involving wage and hour employee class actions. The Company may enter into discussions regarding settlement of these and other types of lawsuits, and may enter into settlement agreements, if it believes settlement is in the best interest of the Companys shareholders. Management does not believe that any such other legal proceedings or settlements, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the Companys financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. In 2003, the Company purchased a 51% controlling interest in GameStop Group Limited, which operates stores in Ireland and the United Kingdom. Under the terms of the purchase agreement, the minority interest owners have the ability to require the Company to purchase their remaining shares in incremental percentages at a price to be determined based partially on the Companys price to earnings ratio and GameStop Group Limiteds earnings. Shares representing approximately 16% were purchased in June 2008 and in July 2009 an additional 16% was purchased, bringing the Companys total interest in GameStop Group Limited to approximately 84%. The Company already consolidates the result |
