Last night, I was sat on my PC - and my light flickered then popped - I've never seen a bulb blow while the light was already on before 
My PC stayed on fine, however its on one of those surge protection power extensions.
About an hour later, I went to turn on the xbox360, and it just crackled and dead, no lights, no fans, nothing.
Tried various plug sockets in my room - but nothing happened.
Went to try a new fuse, but the one in there is 10a. Does it really need 10a?
Also does anyone think I might have had a powersurge? and Thats whats fucked my bulb and my xbox?

make sure fuse has VTEC. when those xbox's are up to full power, the fans need an extra boost at 6000rpm, you can hear it. sounds like a wasp in a sealed jar

no it wont take 10amp, thats about the power that an electric fan heater uses. Id be suprised if the x box uses more than 200w at the most, so you would be fine with a 3a

Just looked it up here http://www.hardcoreware.net/reviews/review-356-2.htm
You will be fine with 3 amp, its a lot less than 690w
