Sirius XACT ReGoWhile no official announcement has been made, the official silence after several attempts to get an answer from Xact - combined with the chatter we’ve been hearing through various unnamed Xact contacts - has led us to the conclusion that the much awaited Xact ReGo is a NoGo.

Here’s a timeline of events:

  1. Orbitcast obtains the ReGo’s original launch date: Spring of 2005 - specifically late-April/early-May.
  2. The release date is then updated to Father Day according to sources.
  3. Then we saw the ReGo on Crutchfield, with an earlier release date than Father’s Day. There was much rejoicing.
  4. Finally, delays occur. First July, then August, then mid-August, then later. Then the runaround. Crutchfield removes release date (and finally the product listing), Color Match Antenna has to put the ReGo on indefinite backorder. etc etc etc.

Now apparently the only things I’ve been hearing was that the ReGo had overheating issues (some have said to the point of melting internals?!). With the S50 on the way, there’s really no point to the ReGo anyway (especially at the prices that we were seeing).

I’m sorry to say it, but unless they reincarnate it back in some form, I don’t see any hope to the ReGo seeing the light of day anytime soon.
