Remove Game Center icon from iPhone

I was recommended the game Slice It, which I decided to buy, but this placed an icon for Game Center on my phone that I don't want. When I press and hold on it I don't get a cross in the top left hand corner to remove it from my phone. It doesn't appear as an icon in the Apps window on iTunes for me to remove. How can I take it off my phone? It's annoying that just because I purchase a game it is assumed I want to link to other people/friends/players. I just want it gone!

iPhone 4, iOS 4

The link for feedback does not work. Is that an attempt to keep us for putting comments about problems on the site.

It's the capital "P" in the other link that's the problem.

How can I revert to the previous version of the operating system, to get rid of of the unwanted Game Center app?

You can use Google to find ways to do it.

Keep in mind though, that your phone will then be forever frozen in time with iOS 4.0.

So you'll have to hope that any future updates don't contain features that you actually want.

My suggestions is to just move Game Center to some deep dark folder hidden away place on you phone.

Think of it this way - Apple's first foray into "craplets".
