I know people love point release for stability but apart from the fact i'm always pushed for time it also annoys the crap out of me having to reinstall linux distribution every few months.

Live media would be made from the updated system, I don't think there is any script to add updates to a live image.

Seems to be stuck in the 90's with horrid colours and odd plugins such as DivX , who the hell still uses Divx

You would need some mounted storage space for the work dir and snapshot dir. Also, it would probably help to be using a persistent volume, so that the changes on upgrade get written somewhere instead of taking up memory.
You can make a live-usb directly from a running live system (CD, DVD or USB) with refracta2usb, but it just copies the existing filesystem.squashfs.
