              File No. 0-24603

Dear Mr. Moran:

     We are writing in response to the comments of the Staff of the Division of
Corporation Finance of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission")
that were contained in your letter dated August 9, 2005. Please note that the
numbered paragraphs below correspond to the paragraph numbers contained in your
comment letter.

1.   As requested, we will revise applicable disclosures to address comments in
     the future for both GameStop and Electronics Boutique.

The following response covers comment numbers 2 through 4 and number 8:

While we have two classes of common stock, Class A and Class B, the classes have
the same rights with the exception of voting rights, with one vote per share for
the Class A common stock and 10 votes per share for the Class B common stock.
Paragraph 61 of FAS 128 discusses using a two class method of computing earnings
per share based upon dividends declared and participation rights in
undistributed earnings. There are no differences in rights to dividends or
participation in undistributed earnings between our two classes of common stock.
We will change the earnings per share lines on the face of the income statement
in our amended Forms 10-K and 10-Q to "Net earnings per Class A and Class B
common share..." Our amended Forms 10-K and 10-Q and future filings will contain
the following form of disclosure:

x.   Computation of Net Earnings per Common Share

     The Company has two classes of common stock and computes earnings per share
using the two-class method in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard No.
128 Earnings per Share. As discussed in Note XX, the holders of the Company's
Class A and Class B common stock have identical rights to dividends or to
distributions in the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Company. Accordingly, the earnings per common share for the two classes of
common stock are the same. A reconciliation of shares used in calculating basic
and diluted net earnings per common share follows:

5.   The inventory to be acquired in the merger is in the form of finished
     goods. As required by paragraph 37(c)(1) of FAS 141, finished goods
     inventory is to be valued at estimated selling price less the costs of
     disposal and a reasonable profit allowance for the selling effort of the
     acquiring entity. A significant portion of the inventory to be acquired is
     located in the retail stores and is readily available for sale without
     costs of disposal. The inventory located in distribution centers would
     incur disposal costs to get it to the retail stores to be sold, however,
     theses costs are considered to be immaterial. Management believes that the
     products to be acquired are substantially similar to the products currently
     sold by GameStop and that the current carrying value of the inventory to be
     acquired reflects the anticipated reasonable profit allowance. Thus,
     management does not believe that the value of the acquired inventory, as
     defined by paragraph 37(c)(1) of FAS 141, will differ materially from the
     amounts carried on Electronics Boutique's balance sheet.

6.   The basis of the $995.4 million allocated to goodwill was the result of the
     allocation of the purchase price, as specified on page 135 of the
     Registration Statement, to the tangible and intangible assets identified,
     less the liabilities assumed. There were no amounts allocated to trademarks
     and trade names (such as EB Games) because management's intention is to
     re-brand the EB Games stores under the GameStop name.

     Based on a preliminary valuation, we will allocate approximately $13.2
     million to the value of favorable contractual lease agreements for
     approximately 200 leases with favorable rates relative to market rates. In
     addition, we will be recording a liability of approximately $14.4 million
     for the value of unfavorable contractual lease agreements for approximately
     320 leases with unfavorable rates relative to market rates, as required by
     paragraph 37(k) and A24 of FAS 141.

7.   We will revise the information on pages 138 and 139 to ensure that the
     footnote references correspond properly.

     If you have any questions or comments regarding the foregoing, please do
not hesitate to contact me at 817-424-2130.

                                    Very truly yours,
