Is it said the same way as owned, just spelled with a p? Or is it completely different? ala "pooned".

There is no official pronunciation of it, as it was born and most proliferates as a written word, rather than a spoken word. Some simply accept it as a "typo" and pronounce it as "owned" while others insist on incorporating the P sound, as in "powned," or "pooned."

or you can go as far to butcher it to "pwnt" wheras it'd be pronounced "pwunt", like I've heard a handful of fanboys at NWS, when Metroid Prime Hunters was released. >_>;;

It isn't pronounced any differently than owned.

As a matter of fact, it isn't pronounced at all. It's a written word and not a spoken word.

Cartman used it on an episode of South Park once. He pronounced it as "powned" if I remember right.

Pooned makes you sound southern. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_disapprove.gif Zarode does not approve!
