Corruption of "owned". Used amongst gamers to describe doling out a savage beating to a fellow gamer - or, "serious pwnage".
Pronunciations range from "poned" and "pooned" to "pwooned" and "pwunned". I favour the latter pair myself.

often thought to be difficult or impossible to pronounce, the correct way of pronouncing pwned is "owned" dependent upon the situation would be understood accordingly.
1. to destroy beyond "owned". to completely overpower your opponent as typically used in video games,(but is in no way limited to)
2. being on the lesser end of a situation, getting the short end of the stick.
3. being on the misfortunate end of a scenario, often humerous is to be pwned.
. origin is unknown but a possible definition is "power owned" often spelled with a P instead of an O as an abbreviation to show domination beyond simply owned.
4. power pwned or ppwned, complete and utter decimation or annlihlation. not even worthy of speaking with the victor or replying from his statement of "power pwned" or ppwned"

like owned, pwned is a classy word that you can say when you have beaten someone, perhaps at there own game.

This word is a popular variation of the word owned and is typically used within online gaming circles.
This term was first coined by a geek who attempted to modify his copy of the popular first-person shooting game Half-Life so that the word "Owned" would appear on the screen of anybody he killed, unfortunatly (due to the close proximity of the "P" and "O" key on the standard English keyboard) he accidentally typed it as "pwned" while he was modifying it, so now this word was appearing on the screen of every other gamer that he killed, other gamers thaught that this was 1337speak for pistol-owned, and started using the word whenever they killed somebody with an inferior weapon i,e "I pwned him with my pistol even though he had the rocket launcher!"
Nowadays though it pretty much means the same thing as owned
Also see ownage pwnagepwn and pooned

Unlike the other people who have posted definitions that are ridiculous, do not have substantial backing, or are simply mis-informed, I will give the complete definition of what "pwned" means.
1. The origins of "pwned" are debated but there is ownly one possible source:
a. When playing a first person shooter game online, and you find yourself with no ammunition left in your primary weapon, you find yourself having to switch to your secondary weapon, aka your pistol. Being heavily outmatched versus an automatic weapon, when the player with the pistol kills the automatic weapon user in convincing fashion, it is usually followed by a string of text "Pwned!" meaning, 'Pistol-Owned.'
P is for Pistol? Get it.
