Major Nelson sends word that Microsoft has released the stats for their E3 week of free gold membership and convention downloads.

More than one and a half million gamers conected to Xbox Live last week, many of which downloaded some of the high-def game demos, trailers and show floor videos. All said, Xbox Live members downloaded more than five million items during the week of E3, sucking up more than 600 Terabytes of data. Xbox.com traffic also saw a huge spike, with traffic more than doubling to six million unique users.

"Only Xbox Live could bring E3 home in high definition for consumers around the world," said Peter Moore, corporate vice president of the Interactive Entertainment Business in the Entertainment and Devices Division at Microsoft. "The sheer volume of downloads during E3 week was simply staggering. To put it in perspective, all the printed material in the U.S. Library of Congress is estimated to be about 20 terabytes, and Xbox Live delivered 30 times that amount in just 7 days. While others talk about online entertainment in the console space, we are delivering it in glorious high-definition to the millions of members we have across 24 countries. "

Last week's bump in traffic pushed the total number of Live downloads to 24 million.

Hit the jump for the top ten downloads of the show:

1. Halo 3 Game Trailer (Microsoft Game Studios)
2. Lost Planet: Extreme Condition Free Playable Demo (Capcom)
3. Test Drive Unlimited Free Playable Demo (Atari)
4. MotoGP '06 Free Playable Demo (THQ)
5. X-Men : The Last Stand Pack (20th Century Fox)
6. Gears of War GameTrailer (Microsoft Game Studios)
7. Call of Duty 2: Skirmish Map Pack (Activision)
8. Spiderman 3 Game Trailer (Activision)
9. Fable 2 Trailer (Microsoft Game Studios)
