The PlayStation 3 has kept access to Hulu even without PlayOn or other workaround while others were blocked — with the exception of its own remote friendly desktop software — thanks to its browser’s Flash support, but this morning multiple users have reported the above message indicating “Unfortunately, this video is not available on your platform. We apologize for any inconvenience.” Some odd glitch related to the recent 2.80 firmware update or other temporary problem, or is this the latest platform to get the Boxee treatment when trying to bring streaming video to TV screens? We’ve reached out to Hulu for an explanation but so far, haven’t heard a response. Interestingly, the Hulu TOS was just updated as of June 26, and although we haven’t found any PS3-specific passages, changing a browser’s user-string to match the console reveals it is definitely being specifically blocked.

Chalk up another huge win for Samsung in its long-running patent dispute with Sharp: the US International Trade Commission has just issued a ruling banning importation of Sharp LCD panels that infringe one of Samsung’s viewing-angle patents. As you might imagine, the ban covers a wide swath of Sharp’s consumer products, including the Aquos TV line, but it’s not clear on how it’ll affect other companies that use Sharp panels — this ruling could potentially have a huge impact on the entire tech market. On the other hand, we’d bet that Sharp’s lawyers are furiously putting together a request to have the ban delayed while an appeal is sorted out, so this is far from over — in fact, we’d say the real fireworks are just beginning.
