Remove game center?

There may be a setting in settings/general/restrictions that may enable you to hide the app like you can with YouTube and some others.
if your iPhone is jailbroken, you can download an app called Poof! that will allow you to hide apps
There is nothing in that area of settings to hide the game center app. Other apps yes, but not for game center.
I never said there was. I told the OP to check in case there was the option to hide it.
That's correct. The only thing I see on 4.1 now is the option to enable or disable multiplayer games. You can't hide the app like you can with YouTube and Safari and a few others.
No you're not - I want to get rid too.
My 3GS is running 4.1 and the only thing I find in Restrictions related to Game Center is the ability to disable multi-player games, which doesn't hide the icon. GC doesn't appear in the Allow list - does it on yours?
It is not an option. I simply said to check and see if it was since I wD not running 4.1. I have since upgraded one of my phones just to check this out. You can't hide game center like you can YouTube.
I initially said I'm not seeing a way to hide the game center app there (meaning in settings). Apparently my replies confused you.
Remove Game Center
Yes you can. You can de-activate Game Center by doing the following:
Open Settings > General > Restrictions (you need password)
Than scroll down list to <Game Center> > Multigamer settings and switch off...
As simple as that. I also found this very annoying the more because this Game Center does not at all look like it's coming from Apple. That's why at first I thought my iPod was hacked after I downloaded some App. and Game Center installed itself without even asking... Not much Apple like!

That doesn't remove Game Center. I tried that a few days ago.
Currently, there is no way to remove it at all.
Removing unwanted app(s) from iphone
Hi guys, It's possible. ios is a mac based operating system. The process of removing app(s) is same.
Use "iFunbox"(http://www.i-funbox.com) client and go to Applications(System) in left pane, then delete the "Game Center~iphone.app". Reboot your device.
DO NOT DELETE ANY OTHER APP(S), because it may cause harm to the operating system.

I'm not so sure that's a good idea, who knows what depends on the app to run in the iOS...
The safer approach is suggested above: just hide the icon with SBSettings. That way if some app needs it to run, you won't be screwed.
Hopefully hidden folders is an option in iOS 4.2. That, or Apple allows users to turn off certain apps (like how you can enable/disable the Nike+iPod app). Until then, you're only option is to put it in a folder and or put it as far back in your home screen pages as possible.
