Yeah, that's the plan. I'm looking for some advice, actually. I was
planning on doing this across the 3.5 launch - maybe a week ahead of
the actual launch? Do people have experience with the right timing?
Start on the day of the lauch? A week before? Two weeks? A week
after? Just wondering what people think.

My vote would be to launch this a few weeks before the launch. Seems
like it'd be a great way to build up buzz & momentum.

Since we don't really know when the launch is going to take place, I'd
aim at doing this "around" the launch. I'd start early June, somewhere
between the 1st and the 7th of June, so that the 35-days period ends
before Summer really kicks in, around mid-July (at least in Europe).
