How Do I Secretly Play My PS3 at Home?

I seriously want a PS3. I want one more than anything (that I have the power to buy) - I've wanted a Playstation since the PSone came out when I was a kid. And now I have the means to buy one.

Problem: I currently live with my grandmother & she is a BIIITTTCCCHHH. She honestly hates me and would have nothing but bad things to say, even though she barely knows what video games ARE - it would be only because I enjoy them. Normally, I'd ignore her & get it anyway (I'm the one worked to earn the money to buy it & all the games), if it weren't for the fact that I'm living in her house. If I get it & she complains, then I'll get harassed for "causing trouble".

So what can I do?? I have plenty of secure places that I can easily hide it, but how can I actually use it without her noticing?

Update:

@James: That would've been my first thought, but for some reason the lock on my room is completely busted. Always has been.

Update 3:

@Ean: Thank you for caring enough to take the time to draw that. :D

    Yes you can, the easest thing i would say you could do is keep the remote close and when you hear her coming pause your game and change the input back to the regular tv and that way it looks like your just watching TV till she leaves. Make sure the system is hidden though. Maybe you could get one of those kiddish spy alrams that use a infrared beam to tell you when someone trips it... thats a little extreme but it could work so you would know when she was coming and when you hide it.

    That's a bad idea because you gonna need to hide this of your grand mother , and how you can hide something that almost have the price of $400 dollars ..

    1. Get more money and move out.

    or

    2. Play somewhere she couldn't hear it well enough to know its a game & keep the door locked.

    If she catches you playing a game, just tell her that she's senile.
