I just found and started using GreenCine so I dont' know if they have a distro center nearby for me or not, but NetFlix has a bunch of them so ideally it takes no more than a day or two to get them or return them- it works out to about $1/DVD over the course of the month if you only keep each disc a day or so before sending it back. GreenCine has roughly the same pricing as Netflix.
Of course, as you've said, time is one of your bigger problems. I probably wouldn't have time to watch half as much stuff without my laptop, which lets me watch DVDs on the trains to and from work. I considered getting one of the small, portable DVD players instead, but the laptop is a lot more versatile- but also a lot more expensive. The portable players are actually getting reasonable- about $150 or so (well, more reasonable than they have been), and are great for watching things on public transit commutes and any other time you're just sitting around waiting.
