Good lord, we debated whether or not to actually write an article on this but we decided that it's so ridiculous that we'd be fools not to. As pointed out by Wario64 on Twitter, what is quite possibly the worst (greatest?) PlayStation Network avatar ever created is now available for purchase.
Indeed, for $0.99, you can trick all of your friends with this incredible April Fools Invisible Avatar. You're literally paying a dollar to not have an avatar on the PSN. Absolute genius, as far as we're concerned.
So, are you impressed? Disgusted? Completely overcome with rage? Gaze into the void in the comments section below.

Instead of $0.99, why can't it be free since there's no image.
I agree. Nice idea but it should be free or at least cheaper than that.
@Swiket OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH BOY! I'd almost forgotten about that one.
Can it actually be bought? I would laugh so hard if you bought it and then it cost nothing and you get an April Fools message.
Love it
@Tasuki Tempted to try but I'm not risking $0.99 just to test out your notion.
My current avatar:
Wow. I cannot believe that is not free.
It would have been a much better joke if they made everyone's trophies go away for a day.
Stupid!
It's a John Cena avatar.
I just bought it because I had $1.04 in my wallet. It's literally just a transparent avatar. No white background, if anyone is wondering.
@nlovett218 Wait, what? HAHAHA! Why did you buy it?
@get2sammyb I literally had nothing else to buy :'D
@nlovett218 Damn, I wish I had enough money to be able to do that lol
@wariowarewolf I still have $20.07 in my wallet but I'm waiting for a game to go on sale. lol I don't really expect any of my friends to say anything about it though.
Premium avatars are literally just bragging to the world that your chosen self-image is a consumer *****. I've never, never understood why ANY avatar is worth paying for.
...Until now. For actually providing a novel spin and a cute metastatement about its own pointlessness, this is the only PSN avatar that's ever really had me tempted.
Also, cute headline image.
That's Capitalism to the extreme for you right there. Pay MORE to have LESS! Yay.
I bought it. within the 1st five minutes playing online my friend asked how I got it.
I actually just bought it like 3 hours ago not recommend but cool
If u want to have a invisible avatar to be cool on ur friends list get it
