The trade-in system is the answer to that dilemma, as it allows gamers to trade five duplicate Uncommon or Rare items at a time for a single item of the next highest quality....

Have you been salivating at the prospect of doling out some serious vehicular mayhem on your Xbox One game console, all in the name of sport? You'll get your chance soon enough—developer Psyonix announced that Rocket League will ride over to the Xbox One on Wednesday, February 17th for $20. This has been a long time coming.
