OK, As promised here is a fairly complete review of the new Xbox 360 Dashboard re-design.
There are 5 main new features to the new dashboard, these include the following:
System Modification: Along with the following updates Microsoft have done some work on the system design of the Xbox, A new Boot screen is implemented for the Xbox, Faster game loading (Only those that are installed on the Hard Drive of the console).
Plus support on European consoles for 16GB USB sticks to be used as extra Xbox disk space. (Cloning and modification of the files saved on the USB's is still not allowed and can result in a ban from XboxLIVE.
Updated Interface: The new interface takes itself from the new Windows 7 Phone, the whole design has lost the "bevel" feel of the green design, however creating your XboxLIVE avatar character is now a whole lot easier with some new tweaks.
Netflix: Netflix has recieved an update in this new UI upgrade, allowing you to browse your films with a lot more ease. However the service is restricted to US residents at the moment (Due to legislation of the content)
Kinect Support: Support for the new motion sensor by Microsoft has been added to the dashboard, this was to co-incide with the release of the accessory (Currently the features haven't been tested by myself, since I don't have a Kinect)
All-new ESPN3: EPSN is supported via the dashboard, however a GOLD subscription is required to use this service.

Thank you for reading.
All the best,
