(together with its predecessor companies, “GameStop,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, is the world’s largest multichannel video game retailer. We sell new and pre-owned video game hardware, physical and digital video game software, accessories, as well as PC entertainment software, new and pre-owned mobile and consumer electronics products and other merchandise. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments) which are, in our opinion, 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 Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all disclosures required under GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our annual report on Form 10-K for the 53 weeks ended February 2, 2013 (“fiscal 2012”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us 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, we have made our 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 us could have a significant impact on our financial results. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Due to the seasonal nature of the business, the results of operations for the 26 weeks ended August 3, 2013 are not indicative of the results to be expected for the 52 weeks ending February 1, 2014 (“fiscal 2013”). </div>falsefalsefalsenonnum:textBlockItemTypenaBasis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation [Policy Text Block]No definition available.false0Basis of Presentation2false 4us-gaap_CashAndCashEquivalentsRestrictedCashAndCashEquivalentsPolicyus-gaap_truenadurationfalsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalseterseLabel1falsefalsefalse00<div> Restricted Cash Restricted cash of $10.4 million, $12.0 million and $13.4 million as of August 3, 2013, July 28, 2012 and February 2, 2013, respectively, consists primarily of bank deposits serving as collateral for bank guarantees issued on behalf of our foreign subsidiaries and is included in other noncurrent assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. </div>falsefalsefalsenonnum:textBlockItemTypenaEntity's cash and cash equivalents accounting policy with respect to restricted balances.

We do not expect that this ASU will have an impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements as we currently do not have any unrecognized tax benefits in the same jurisdictions in which we have tax loss or credit carryovers.   In March 2013, ASU 2013-05 “Foreign Currency Matters (Topic 830)” was issued providing guidance with respect to the release of cumulative translation adjustments into net income when a parent company sells either a part or all of an investment in a foreign entity. The ASU requires the release of cumulative translation adjustments when a company no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a foreign subsidiary or a group of assets that constitutes a business within a foreign entity. This ASU will be effective for us beginning the first quarter of 2014. We are evaluating the effect of this ASU, but do not expect it to have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements. In February 2013, ASU 2013-02 “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income” was issued regarding disclosure of amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. An entity is required to present either on the face of the statement of operations or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For amounts not reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures that provide additional detail about those amounts. This ASU was effective for our annual and interim periods beginning in fiscal 2013. The ASU had no effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements. </div>falsefalsefalsenonnum:textBlockItemTypenaRecently Issued Accounting Standards [Policy Text Block]No definition available.false0Recently Issued Accounting StandardsfalseSummary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)UnKnownUnKnownUnKnownUnKnowntruefalsefalseSheethttp://www.gamestop.com/taxonomy/role/NotesToFinancialStatementsSignificantAccountingPoliciesTextBlockPolicies13
