Not sure why exactly but this reminded me of something that happened to me. This was in my first house and taken with my first digital camera (hence why the quality is potato)

What you have there is a projection TV, a PS2 (or whichever one was out when the 1st gen Xbox came out) , a 1st generation Xbox, a DVD player, the box for Cable TV, and a stereo receiver. All were connected to UPS systems (2). The TV and the Cable box were connected to the cable in the wall.

House had a direct strike hit the house. None of this stuff was on when it happened. It fried the DvD player and the cable box. Everything else was fine. It didn't even trip either UPS. I also had (2) Alienware PC's; one that was on when the strike hit , one that was off. Fried both. The one that was off at the time had components blown off the damn boards. Lightning is wild.
