How do you guys pronounch "Pwned"?

I think it's pronounced "pawned", like a Pawn shop, but then I also hear people pronounce it this way:
"pOWNed", like "owned", with a p in front of it.

Have I been wrong all the time? Or is it just the Xbox live n00bs that have brought in that pronounciation?

Yay for necroposting!

I've heard it as prawn, pown, and own. I tend to just say owned, but type pwned.

www.pureownage.com pronounces it like "own." Considering they pretty much made the word, I go with what they said.
