| |  | Hardware Platform Technology Evolution. Video game
    hardware has evolved significantly from the early products
    launched in the 1980s. The processing speed of video game
    hardware has increased from 8-bit speeds in the 1980s to 128-bit
    speeds in next-generation systems such as Sony
    PlayStation 2, launched in 2000, and Nintendo GameCube and
    Microsoft Xbox, which both launched in November 2001. In
    addition, portable handheld video game devices have evolved from
    the 8-bit Nintendo Game Boy to the 128-bit Nintendo DS, which
    was introduced in November 2004. Technological developments in
    both chip processing speed and data storage have provided
    significant improvements in

| |   | advanced graphics and audio quality, which allow software
    developers to create more advanced games, encourage existing
    players to upgrade their hardware platforms and attract new
    video game players to purchase an initial system. As general
    computer technology advances, we expect video game technology to
    make similar advances.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 
|
| |  | Next-Generation Systems Provide Multiple Capabilities Beyond
    Gaming. Many next-generation hardware platforms, including
    Sony PlayStation 2 and Microsoft Xbox, utilize a DVD software
    format and have the potential to serve as multi-purpose
    entertainment centers by doubling as a player for DVD movies and
    compact discs. In addition, both Sony PlayStation 2 and
    Microsoft Xbox manufacture accessories which provide internet
    connectivity.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              
|
| |  | Backward Compatibility. Sony PlayStation 2 and Nintendo
    DS are both backward compatible, meaning that titles produced
    for the earlier version of the hardware platform may be used on
    the new hardware platform. We believe that backward
    compatibility may result in more stable industry growth because
    the decrease in consumer demand for products associated with
    existing hardware platforms that typically precedes the release
    of next-generation hardware platforms may be diminished.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 
|
| |  | Introduction of Next-Generation Hardware Platforms Drives
    Software Demand. Sales of video game software generally
    increase as next-generation platforms mature and gain wider
    acceptance. Historically, when a new platform is released, a
    limited number of compatible game titles are immediately
    available, but the selection grows rapidly as manufacturers and
    third-party publishers develop and release game titles for that
    new platform. For example, when Sony PlayStation 2 was released
    in October 2000, approximately 30 game titles were available for
    sale. By January 2003, over 450 game titles for the Sony
    PlayStation 2 platform were available for sale. Currently, there
    are over 850 game titles for the Sony PlayStation 2 platform
    available for sale.

| |  | Broadening Demographic Appeal. While the typical
    electronic game enthusiast is male between the ages of 14 and
    35, the electronic game industry is broadening its appeal. More
    females are playing electronic video games, in part due to the
    development of video game products that appeal to them.
    According to ESA, approximately 39% of all electronic game
    players are female. More adults are also playing video games as
    a portion of the population that played video games in their
    childhood continues to play and advance to the next-generation
    video game products. In addition, the availability of used video
    game products for sale has enabled a lower-economic demographic,
    that may not have been able to afford the considerably more
    expensive new video game products, to participate in the video
    game industry.

| |  | Capitalize on Growth in Demand. Our sales of video game
    software grew by approximately 26% in fiscal 2003 and by an
    additional 22% in fiscal 2004. In fiscal 2003 and fiscal 2004,
    our comparable store sales increased 0.8% and 1.7%,
    respectively, driven in large measure by the success of Sony
    PlayStation 2, Microsoft Xbox, Nintendo GameCube and
    Nintendo DS, which was launched in November 2004. Comparable
    store sales increased a modest 1.7% in fiscal 2004, as declining
    video game hardware price points and hardware shortages offset
    the increase in video game software sales, which was fueled by
    the success of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, from Take-Two
    Interactive Software, Inc. and Halo 2 from Microsoft Corp.
    During fiscal 2003 and fiscal 2004, we capitalized on the growth
    in demand for video game software and accessories that followed
    the increases in the installed hardware base of these four video
    game platforms. Over the next few years, we expect to continue
    to capitalize on the increasing installed base for these
    platforms, the release in March 2005 of the Sony PSP, the
    anticipated release in late 2005 of the Microsoft Xbox 2,
    the anticipated release in 2006 of the Sony PlayStation 3 and
    the related growth in video game software and accessories sales.
|
| |  | Increase Sales of Used Video Game Products. We will
    continue to expand the selection and availability of used video
    game products in both our mall and strip center stores. Our
    strategy consists of increasing consumer awareness of the
    benefits of trading in and buying used video game products at
    our stores through increased marketing activities. We expect the
    continued growth of new platform technology to drive trade-ins

|(1) | In 2004, we revised our method of accounting for rent expense to
    conform to GAAP, as recently clarified by the Chief Accountant
    of the SEC in a February 7, 2005 letter to the American
    Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A non-cash, after-tax
    adjustment of $3,312 was made in the fourth quarter of fiscal
    2004 to correct the method of accounting for rent expense (and
    related deferred rent liability) to include the impact of
    escalating rents for periods in which we are reasonably assured
    of exercising lease options and to include any rent
    holiday period (a period during which the Company is not
    obligated to pay rent) the lease allows while the store is being
    constructed. We also corrected our calculation of depreciation
    expense for leasehold improvements for those leases which do not
    include an option period.

|(2) | In 2004, the Company changed its classification of tenant
    improvement allowances on the balance sheets, statement of
    operations and statements of cash flows. The Company
    historically classified tenant improvement allowances as
    reductions of property and equipment on the Companys
    balance sheets and as reductions in depreciation and
    amortization in the Companys statements of operations. In
    order to comply with the provisions of FASB Technical
    Bulletin No. 88-1, Issues Relating to Accounting
    for Leases (FTB 88-1), however, the Company
    has reclassified tenant improvement allowances as deferred rent
    liabilities (in other long-term liabilities) on the
    Companys balance sheets and as a reduction of rent expense
    (in selling, general and administrative expenses) in the
    statements of operations. The effect of this reclassification
    increased total assets and total liabilities on the
    Companys balance sheets by $4,671 as of January 29,
    2005, $3,265 as of January 31, 2004, $2,328 as of
    February 1, 2003, $1,831 as of February 2, 2002 and
    $1,747 as of February 3, 2001 and decreased selling,
    general and administrative expense and increased depreciation
    expense in the Companys statements of operations by $671,
    $540, $601, $678 and $649 in fiscal 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001 and
    2000, respectively. Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated
    Financial Statements of the Company provides additional
    information concerning lease accounting.
