iPhone Game Center goes live for iOS 4.1 users

Developers and others with early access to iOS 4.1 have noted that the iPhone's new Game Center is now live. Obviously, game developers have had access to a closed version of Game Center in order to test out multiplayer features, achievements, and other Game Center features, but now they're out of the sandbox.

Pixelated Geek has screenshots of Game Center, including the setup screens, the player profile screen, and friend requests. The main new feature in this final version of Game Center is being able to add email addresses to your account (other than the one you use for the iTunes Store), and search for friends by email instead of just by username.

The opening of Game Center all but officially confirms that the iOS 4.1 update is on the way this Wednesday, as rumored.
