Capcom Community members can compete for a seat in the tournament by submitting their best tips and tricks for beating the Lost Planet 2 multiplayer demo by this Thursday to Capcom Unity (click here). Four winners will be chosen. Lost Planet and Capcom fans living in the Los Angeles area are encouraged to attend the event, which runs from 8 p.m. to midnight.

Even if the goal of 1.5 million downloads isn’t met, Capcom will still donate $20,000 for the first one million Lost Planet 2 multiplayer demos downloaded from March 31st through midnight (PST) on May 5th. Once the demo passes the millionth mark across both platforms, an additional $5,000 will be donated when an extra 500,000 downloads is achieved.

So to keep it simple…

1 million downloads = $20,000 donation

and

1.5 million downloads = $25,000 donation

So when your parents or significant other is yelling at you for playing the demo, you can proudly respond, “Hey, I’m doing this for charity.”

Lost Planet 2 releases on May 11, 2010, for both the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
