I live in Sussex, but need to go up to london at least once a month until chirstmas and will often need to spend at least a night up there. It is worth buying an prepay oyster card to use on the tubes/buses, which I will need to use every time I go up, as the cost of travelcards is going to quite high on top of the train fares.
Any advice/opinions on oyster would be great.

Yeah, bust as bongbudda pointed out, Oyster Card prepay works out a fair bit cheaper than travelcards (well, once you've paid the £3). It's probably thee best option
It depends on the type of travel you do, if its very often in the center then a period oyster card would be cheaper than a pre-pay one.
Of course, but freeallangels19 is only coming in sporadically, so a monthly card or whatever would be pointless
Well yes, of course, but I was talking more generally about the cards on offer rather than just the quite limited field of the question.
ATM if you top up with 20 quid and go on autotopup you get 10 pounds back - but for the first 10,000 customers
I just bought a new card for 3 pound + 20 pound auto top up - 10 pound discount
so got it all for 13 quid - saving 7 pounds
Greenford station so it is Zone 3 to zone 4. do you guy think i can get away
with buying zone 3-4 travel card even tho the train travels through
zone 1,2, if not i goto pay 100 quid a month
Possibly yes but probably no.
It used to be that the paper tickets allowed you to do this, but it seems oyster does not.
And of course if you were stopped in zone 1 or 2 you would get a ticket.
no where else
No, either go on single osyter ones, or get a period ticket.
