Ok, so I did a little googling for Hulu on PS3 and I found a free and legal solution It helps if you have a PC turned on 24hr/day, as you'll be using it as a proxy. The downside of this solution is that if your PC isn't on (or you didn't reset the PS3 settings) you won't be able to go online with your PS3. The solutions were taken from www.ypass.net and copied here for easy reference and cleaned up a tiny bit. If more help is needed with the windows solution (second one) I can take screenshots and provide clearer instructions.

Why Hulu doesn't work on PS3

Hulu does a user agent request and if the reply is the PS3 web browser it blocks the video.

hey nice find.
My computer is almost always on but my tv is a lot bigger than my computer screen.
I'll try this out.

but it won't work in Europe right?

It only works where Hulu works on your PC. I'm guessing Hulu doesn't work outside the US, so no.

nice find but i'm too lazy to try it out. did hulu ever give a solid reason as to why they block the ps3?

more or less the reasoning was that the content providers don't like the media streaming to your TV since PS3's are primarily hooked up to a TV compared to PC's typically aren't (however mine was up until moving when I had to find this solution). They want to keep people watching TV where they make a lot more money in advertising.

Does this really warrant a sticky?

It seems like a lot of work, just to be able to watch Hulu on a larger screen. And you could plug your PC into your TV if you wanted that.

Anyway, America only

Hulu will quickly disable this as they did with Boxee and many other sites trying to embed Hulu.

and how exactly can they disable it? The only info they (or any website for that matter) have about your computer other than your IP address is that provided in the user agent. The other info in the lower layers (such as the MAC address) is stopped at the local network gateway. If you spoof the user agent and use your PC as a proxy, they can't do anything about that because they have no way of knowing whether the info provided by the user agent string is accurate. The only way to stop people from doing that sort of thing is to block every OS and web browser and obviously they are not going to do that because it completly defeats the purpose of having a website.

Blocking embedding on the other hand is much simpler because all you have to do is efficiently mask the actual physical address (ie. make it so you can't find out http://hulu.com/blabitty_blah_blah/24_season1_episode4.mp1) of the content from the client computer and don't provide any methods to embed content like youtube/viddler/etc. do. If someone breaks your encryption, you just change the encoding method.

However, all this is done on the server side where they have complete control over what is done to the content. A user agent string on the other hand provides no way for the server to verify if it is accurate or not. I've seen people use user agents like "omg obama is teh sh*t!!!" and they were still able to access anything they wanted on the web. The user agent is meaningless except as a way for websites and companies to track what OSs and browsers are accessing their website. Their usefullness is dependent on the fact that most people either don't know how or don't care enough to change them, not because they are a secure and/or accurate way of tracking the usage of different computer technologies.

If you're going to do this, just make sure you set your proxy to ONLY allow connections from your local network. If you don't, anyone in the world will be able to use your IP address to do whatever they want - like post child porn on /b/. And the guys with the dark glasses will come to your house...
