Same stuff? Some... but not that much really. First, EB has FAR more PC games. EB also has a huge selection of used PC games -- Gamestop, when it was Software ETC, had a huge selection of older PC games, but as Gamestop it got rid of them... so losing EB would be horrible on the PC front. Gamestop's selection is maybe half the size of EB's once the used games are taken into account. Okay, maybe 2/3rds... but definitely smaller. And when the two stores have different prices, it's usually been EB to be the cheaper one... Gamestop's one advantage is used N64 games, which it has far more of. Well, it's also got more used GB, GBC, and GBA games, but EB has decent selections of those too... Gamecube? Both have similarly small selections.
And anyway... EB has always been my favorite game store, and I'm sure I've bought more games there than anywhere else. It'll definitely be sad to lose it, even if the stores are just converted (some will close, but not all)...
