How many electronics can I plug into one wall outlet?

Q. I have an extension cord plugged into the wall outlet. On the extension cord, I have a cable box, a blu-ray player, and a mini fridge plugged into it. In the other plug on the wall outlet, I have my 40 inch LCD HDTV plugged in. Is that okay, and safe to do? Also, if I plug the blu-ray player into the back of my cable box and plug in an XBox 360 in the place of the blu-ray player on the extension cord, would that be okay?

A. Watch out for the wattage of each equipment to avoid overloading.

A. If you have a !0A line, that gives you about $1000 W total. With a 15A line, it gives you about 1600 Watts total - at the SAME time. If you pull more, the breaker will pop.
