If you were looking forward to watching Biography: Lindsay Lohan or an episode of Dorm Life on Hulu today via your PlayStation 3, it looks like you're screwed. Although PS3 owners have been able to access the free video site for quite some time, clicking on videos through the web browser on Sony's system now brings up a screen that reads "Unfortunately, this video is not available on your platform. We apologize for any inconvenience."

It's unclear why things have suddenly changed, and messages with Sony and Hulu were not immediately returned. We'll update this article as soon as someone gets back to IGN with a comment.

Maybe they upgraded? Hard to tell...maybe Sony and Hulu signed an agreement to have it brought as a service rather then allow users to view it through their browser.

It's nothing to do with Hulu. It's sony.

They have changed the strings in the browser, so it springs up that it doesn't work.

Maybe sony are going to release a simular service than Hulu but charge for it. I'm not completly sure what Hulu gives however.
