What's the best way of getting movies onto your Playbook?

Since the device only comes with a music store, how do you guys plan to get movies on this thing? Are you just going to hook it up to your computer with a usb, and send flicks over that way? Or is there a simpler way of getting movies on here?

i don't intend to stock up or anything, but I'm going on a long trip soon, and might not mind have a film or two on hand for the flight.

Also, no headphone jack. Are bluetooth headphones the best way to go here? (Pretty damn expensive usually.)

I found one of the easiest methods (and works well when you don't have a USB handy) is the WiFi sharing method. You can find it here:

In addition to the tutorial there, I also created a shortcut in Windows to go right to that folder so I don't have to re-enter my Playbook's IP each time I want to move a file.
