There are utilities that allow you to change what your browser tells the web server it is, e.g. you can make Firefox tell the server that it's Internet Explorer, or a mobile browser, etc, to aid in testing.

Now setting one up for public use would be nice, wouldn't it? Hmmm. Hulu is absolutely explicitly blocking the PS3 browser.

I think it boils down to these sites testing and then realizing that these browsers don't show all the ads they want you to have around the video window while you watch.

It must have to do with an update, either with the PS3s or the video sites. It definitely sounds sketchy, but what would be the motive for blocking out viewing from a video game console?
