JR East sells a 'JR East Pass Spacial' for 10,000 yen overseas (voucher) until 20th November, 2009, and in Japan until 1st December, 2009.
The travel period is until the end of this year. It can be used any train run by JR East in the JR East service area for 3 days regardless of whether they are consecutive or not.
The good points of this pass are not only its reasonable price but also its flexibility. You don't need to frantically hurry to get your money's worth from the pass by taking trains all day long even after the validity of the pass kicks in.
